Dependency Resolution

The process of determining in what order and under what conditions tasks and data assets in a workflow should execute.

Dependency resolution is essential for sequencing and integrity in data pipelines. It determines which jobs must complete before others start, which datasets must be ready first, and how the chain should behave under failure. Weak dependency management can lead to silent data corruption. For that reason, dependency resolution is both a technical coordination problem and a data reliability problem.
