Pixi is a tool which enables efficient dependency handling. It is created from prefix.dev, built in Rust and very fast. For us at Magenta Telekom in Austria Pixi is beneficial as we build our new data platform around metadata and strong governance and an explicit graph of data dependencies. In this talk we share our experience with Pixi and how it empowers our data infrastructure - in conjunction with Dagster.

Spark-based data PaaS solutions are convenient. But they come with their own set of challenges such as a high vendor lock-in and obscured costs. We show how to use a dedicated orchestrator ([dagster-pipes](https://docs.dagster.io/guides/dagster-pipes)). It can not only make Databricks an implementation detail but also save cost. Also, it improves developer productivity. It allows you to take back control.
