Transformation/Orchestration by warehouseData Engineer

How do I orchestrate a BigQuery pipeline without a separate scheduler?

Bruin resolves the dependency graph from your BigQuery assets and runs them in order. No DAG file, no scheduler to operate alongside the warehouse.

Command

bruin run

Defined in

SQL + Python + YAML

Works with

BigQuery + Bruin CLI

What you get

Dependency DAGno separate orchestratorwarehouse-native

How it works in code

$ bruin run --start-date 2026-01-01 ./pipeline  # bigquery

Run bruin run and Bruin runs the graph against BigQuery in dependency order.

SQL and Python, one pipeline

Open source. Define assets, declare dependencies, run the graph with bruin run.
