• make sure that python points to python>=3.8 and you have pip and git then pip install datazimmer
• run dz init project-name
  • pulls project-template
• add a remote
  • both to git and dvc (can run dz build-meta to see available dvc remotes)
  • git remote can be given with dz init
• create, register and document steps in a pipeline you will run in different environments
• build metadata to exportable and serialized format with dz build-meta
  • if you defined importable data from other artifacts in the config, you can import them with load-external-data
  • ensure that you import envs that are served from sources you have access to
• build and run pipeline steps by running dz run
• validate that the data matches the datascript description with dz validate

• a project as a whole has a cron expression in zimmer.yaml to determine the schedule of reruns
• additionally, aswan projects within the dz project can have different cron expressions for scheduling new runs of the aswan projects

TODO: document dogshow and everything else much better here

• overlapping names convention
• resolve naming confusion with colassigner, colaccessor and table feature / composite type / index base classes
• abstract composite type + subclass of entity class
  • import ACT, inherit from it and specify
  • importing composite type is impossible now if it contains foreign key :(
• add option to infer data type of assigned feature
  • can be problematic b/c pandas int/float/nan issue
• create similar sets of features in a dry way
• overlapping in entities
  • detect / signal the same type of entity
• exports: postgres, postgis , superset
