DATA OPS

Live DDL-change interceptor to PagerDuty

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWebhook receives DDL-change eventHTTP webhook
  • LogicClassify operation as risky or benign
  • LogicMatch table against production-critical list
  • OutputPage on-call via PagerDuty for risky critical changesPagerDutyPagerDuty
  • OutputLog benign changes to SlackSlack

What it does

Turns warehouse DDL events into real-time alerts. When an `ALTER TABLE` or `DROP COLUMN` lands on a table you've marked as production-critical, it decides whether the change is dangerous and escalates to PagerDuty only when it is — no noise for benign additions.

When to use it

You run a warehouse where schema changes can happen any time of day, and a dropped or retyped column on a hot table is a genuine incident. Polling once a day is too slow; you need to know within seconds.

How it works

  1. 1An HTTP webhook receives the DDL event payload (table, operation, affected columns).
  2. 2A logic step classifies the operation: adds are informational, drops and type changes are risky.
  3. 3A second logic branch checks the affected table against your list of production-critical tables.
  4. 4If a risky change hit a critical table, trigger a PagerDuty incident with the column and operation details.
  5. 5Otherwise post a low-priority note to Slack for the record.

Set it up

    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
