nice job! I see you pimped my original DEMO DAG even more :)

please remove the PrPr callouts. procedure, target-state and alert are coming to PuPr with 10.15 this week

sfc-gh-jsommerfeld · 2026-04-27T19:57:13Z

+<!-- ------------------------ -->
+## Post-Deploy: Stream, Alert, and a Manual Run
+
+Streams and alerts are not yet supported as DCM `DEFINE` statements. Those pieces live in `scripts/02_post_deploy.sql`. (The DMF attachments themselves are already in DCM — see `expectations.sql` above.)


→ "Streams are not yet supported..."

Will they be supported by 10.15 as well?

- Add Charlie Hammond and Jan Sommerfeld as authors - Add platform category - Rewrite DAG intro (explain "acyclic" in-line) - Soften language: "becomes much easier to maintain as a DCM Project" - Remove LIMITEDACCESS from doc links, drop Private Preview callout - Expand STARTED | SUSPENDED explanation as DCM-only DEFINE TASK extension - Rename DCM project to DCM_TASKS_PROJECT_DEV (avoid clash) - Remove "early-access" from DEFINE PROCEDURE description - Move failed-task alert into DCM project as DEFINE ALERT with STARTED - Update Post-Deploy section title and description (streams only) - Update conclusion bullet to reflect DCM-managed alert - Replace manual DROP cleanup with EXECUTE DCM PROJECT PURGE - Add What's Next CTA to advanced DCM docs ....

+In the [Get Started with Snowflake DCM Projects](https://www.snowflake.com/en/developers/guides/get-started-snowflake-dcm-projects/), [Build Data Pipelines with Snowflake DCM Projects](https://www.snowflake.com/en/developers/guides/build-data-pipelines-with-snowflake-dcm-projects/), and [DCM Projects for Dynamic Tables](https://www.snowflake.com/en/developers/guides/dcm-projects-for-dynamic-tables/) guides, you learned how DCM Projects manage Snowflake infrastructure declaratively — from a single project up to dynamic-table pipelines that evolve without full recomputation.
+
+In this guide, you'll focus on **Tasks and task graphs** — the orchestration layer that drives scheduled and event-driven work across your pipeline.


Tasks and Task graphs

sfc-gh-jsommerfeld · 2026-05-04T19:44:41Z

+You'll define a fifteen-task demo graph that shows off every interesting Task feature in one place:
+
+- **Root task with retries, overlap policy, and graph-level config** pushed into children via `SYSTEM$GET_TASK_GRAPH_CONFIG`
+- **Finalizer task** that emails a plain-text JSON summary of every graph run


even when it failed mid-way

sfc-gh-jsommerfeld · 2026-05-04T19:45:27Z

+- **Serverless task** and **multi-predecessor task** patterns
+- **Stream-conditional** and **return-value-conditional** child tasks
+- **Failing task with retries** + dependent that gets skipped
+- **DCM-managed target state** — a task deployed as `SUSPENDED` that never runs


I'd prefer to focus on the positive here 😉 target-state allows to deploy Tasks STARTED.

sfc-gh-jsommerfeld · 2026-05-04T19:46:56Z

+If you don't already have one handy for running DCM itself:
+
+```sql
+CREATE WAREHOUSE IF NOT EXISTS dcm_wh


I guess we can skip this one, if the Tasks run on the WH_4 below?

- DEFINE ALERT stays in sources/definitions/alerts.sql (without STARTED) - Alert deploys suspended; 02_post_deploy.sql resumes it once - Clarify alert vs finalizer as complementary (per Jan's review) - Update conclusion bullet to say 'task in the database' (broader scope) ....
