+
+# Dagster quickstart
+
+[Dagster](https://dagster.io) is a data orchestrator that allows you to define
+data pipelines in a declarative way. It is a powerful tool that allows you to
+define the flow of data from source to destination, and to define the
+transformations that data undergoes along the way.
+
+At OSO, we use Dagster to process data from
+[various sources](https://github.com/opensource-observer/oso/tree/main/warehouse/oso_dagster/assets),
+transform it, and load it into BigQuery. This quickstart guide will help you set
+up our Dagster instance locally, with a [`duckdb`](http://duckdb.org/) backend,
+in order to follow along with our tutorials in the next sections.
+
+## Setting up Dagster
+
+First, we need to clone the
+[OSO GitHub repository](http://github.com/opensource-observer/oso) and install
+the required dependencies.
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:opensource-observer/oso.git .
+```
+
+Install the dependencies and create a virtual environment with
+[poetry](https://python-poetry.org):
+
+```sh
+poetry install && poetry shell
+```
+
+Now, let's fill the `.env` file with the required environment variables:
+
+```sh
+GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=<your-google-project-id>
+DAGSTER_DBT_PARSE_PROJECT_ON_LOAD=1
+DAGSTER_HOME=/tmp/dagster-home
+```
+
+After setting the environment variables, Dagster needs `$DAGSTER_HOME` to be
+created before running the Dagster instance.
+
+```sh
+mkdir /tmp/dagster-home
+```
+
+:::info
+
+Lastly, we need to configure `dagster.yaml` to disable concurrency. Our example
+is located at `/tmp/dagster-home/dagster.yaml`:
+
+This is currently a limitation with our `duckdb` integration. Please check out
+[this issue](https://github.com/opensource-observer/oso/issues/2040#issue-2503231601)
+for more information.
+
+```yaml
+run_queue:
+  max_concurrent_runs: 1
+```
+
+:::
+
+## Running Dagster
+
+Now that we have everything set up, we can run the Dagster instance:
+
+```sh
+dagster dev
+```
+
+After a little bit of time, you should see the following message:
+
+```sh
+2024-09-10 22:35:31 +0200 - dagster.daemon - INFO - Instance is configured with the following daemons: ['AssetDaemon', 'BackfillDaemon', 'QueuedRunCoordinatorDaemon', 'SchedulerDaemon', 'SensorDaemon']
+2024-09-10 22:35:31 +0200 - dagster-webserver - INFO - Serving dagster-webserver on http://127.0.0.1:3000 in process 1095
+```
+
+Head over to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to access Dagster's
+UI. _Et voilà_! You have successfully set up Dagster locally.
+
+This is just the beginning. Check out how to create a
+[DLT Dagster Asset](./api.md#create-dlt-dagster-assets) next and start building!
