Fast2 cookbooks

info

A cookbook in the programming context is collection of tiny programs that each demonstrate a particular programming concept. The Cookbook Method is the process of learning a programming language by building up a repository of small programs that implement specific programming concepts.

Here are some examples of short use-cases with Fast2, covering APIs management which might be required for configuring some of the tasks.

This section will particularly be insightful for custom module development.

You will find here boilerplate code snippets, as well as real-life examples of task configuration for challenges you might take up, one day.

Cookbooks vs. Playbook

Cookbooks are tactical: each one shows you how to implement a specific thing — a task config, a code snippet, an API call. If you are at the keyboard building a pipeline, you are in the right place.

If instead you are still deciding which approach to take — which extraction strategy fits a live source, how to run a delta migration, where to deploy Fast2 — that is a strategy question, and it lives in the Playbook. A useful rule of thumb: choose your approach in the Playbook, then build it with the Cookbooks.
