Workspace

An Ascend Workspace is a development environment for data engineers to build Flows (data pipelines). Data engineers work in a Workspace to iterate on code in a Project, running and validating Flows as they go. Once satisfied, they promote changes through Deployments.

Comparison with Deployments

A Workspace differs from a Deployment in two key ways:

• Code in Deployments is read-only
• Deployments have Automations enabled

Each developer works in their own Workspace, merging changes into a Deployment (usually in the Development Environment).
