I just challenged an AI to act as a Data Engineer. The Task: Look at a raw ER Diagram image (it had never seen this database before). Execute a complex business request: "Generate a VIP Corporate Client list. Exclude all returned orders and slow shipments. Aggregate total sales by customer, and retain only Corporate clients with over 5000 in spending."

Build a production-ready Tableau Prep flow. The Result: It used my open-source library, cwprep, to generate the entire ETL pipeline in seconds. It handled the multi-step logic—joins, anti-joins, filtering, and aggregation—without a single manual click.

Inspectable Python code Version-controllable logic 100% automated

The era of "Data Engineering as Code" for Tableau is here. Try it yourself: pip install cwprep https://lnkd.in/g7rYvZDF

Watch the full demo below. It's easy and quickly. Test and give me feedback.
