Promote from dev to test to production

On this page

This module closes the course by making architecture work operational and promotable.

Learning objective

Use a promotion checklist to move from experimentation to prepared, testable configuration.

Promotion checklist

  • Was the source mapping reviewed?
  • Are identifiers strong enough?
  • Does the vocabulary language match the intended model?
  • Do validations catch obvious source issues?
  • Has recurring steward pain been converted into architecture work where needed?
  • Has the configuration been prepared and reviewed in test before production?

Using the built-in AI agent

The Data Architect AI agent can accelerate configuration thinking, but not replace design judgment. Use it to:

  • summarize mapping choices;
  • propose rule or governance options;
  • compare alternative approaches.

The human architect still owns the final design and production-readiness decision.

Final completion check

A learner is ready to complete the course when they can explain how a source should map, which identifiers are safe, what vocabulary language should be used, and how repeated issues should be prevented before they reach steward clean-up cycles.
