Output Example
## Pipeline design — Churn feature daily batch ### Sources - `billing.subscription_events` (Postgres CDC) - `app.login_events` (Kafka topic `auth.login`) ### DAG 1. ingest → 2. normalize → 3. join @ prediction_time snapshot → 4. publish features ### Schema contract - Primary key: `tenant_id, as_of_date` - All features nullable-safe defaults documented ### SLAs - Complete by 06:00 UTC; 99.5% on-time monthly ### Quality checks - Row count within 5% of prior day - Duplicate key rate = 0 ### Failure modes - Late data: re-run with extended lookback window + alert owner
