🏷️ Labels: ETL, Makefile, Python, Accounting, Automation
📂 Project: Dev
Session Goal
The primary aim of this session was to refactor and automate the accounting ETL pipeline, ensuring modularity, efficiency, and integration with CI systems.
Key Activities
- Diagnosis of Accounting System Files: Analyzed specific accounting files to understand their functions and capabilities, focusing on time series and transaction computations.
- Automation Commands: Developed automation commands for data processing tasks, including assembling tables and exporting data to Google Sheets.
- Refactor Plan: Created a comprehensive plan for refactoring the accounting pipeline, with steps for modular development and addressing potential defects.
- Python File Analysis: Conducted a detailed analysis of Python files to extract information on imports, functions, and CSV operations.
- Code Refactoring and Dependency Mapping: Mapped current code structure and dependencies, centralizing utility functions to enhance maintainability.
- Makefile Workflow: Designed a Makefile-driven workflow for ETL processes, report generation, and CI integration.
- Orchestration Plan: Developed an orchestration plan with Makefile and scripts for efficient ETL and report generation.
- Development Tools Setup: Provided a minimalistic setup for the accounting development environment to simplify ETL processes.
- Configuration Design: Created a YAML-based configuration design for orchestration and CI integration.
- Testing Scripts: Developed scripts for local Makefile testing to ensure robustness.
