Overview

The Datalus workflow is structured as pipeline that starts as a database schema and ends as a set amount of notional data that can be exported back into your database.

When getting started with Datalus, the general steps of getting a pipeline set up are as follows:

1. Connect Datalus to your development database
2. Create generator functions
3. Create a new project
   1. From scratch by manually creating tables and columns modeled after your planned schema
   2. By introspecting your database and creating a schema automatically
4. Apply a generator function to each column in your schema
   1. Configure any parameters involved in your generator functions
5. Run a data generation job
6. View and export your notional data

The following section will go over each of these steps to help you succeed in generating notional data.
