Canonical YAML Examples

Copy-paste ready configs for the 5 most common use cases.

Each example is a complete, runnable config—not a fragment.

Sample Data

Download sample datasets from sample_data/ or copy them:

mkdir -p data/landing
cp docs/examples/canonical/sample_data/*.csv data/landing/

Example	Use Case	Key Features
1. Hello World	Local CSV → Parquet	Minimal viable config
2. Incremental SQL	Database → Raw (HWM)	Stateful high-water mark
3. SCD2 Dimension	Track history	Surrogate keys, versioning
4. Fact Table	Star schema fact	SK lookups, grain validation
5. Full Pipeline	Validation + Quarantine + Alerting	Production-ready
