Site Adapter Strategy for Data Ops Teams

Why This Search Exists

Data ops teams often run the same lookups, inspections, and extraction tasks repeatedly across sources. Without an adapter model, these tasks stay inconsistent and hard to share.

The execution boundary also gets blurry when some tasks are safe to host while others depend on local browser state.

Recommended Approach

A site adapter strategy gives these tasks stable names, arguments, and execution modes. That improves discoverability and makes it easier to share workflows across teams.

iatlas-browser already supports this model with a site catalog and a hosted subset for remote-safe adapters.

Key Takeaways

• Reusable adapters scale better than ad hoc browser scripts.
• Execution mode should be part of the adapter definition.
• Public, read-only adapters are good hosted candidates.
• Stateful adapters should stay on the local runtime.

Fast Start

1. List repeated browser tasks your data ops team already performs.
2. Normalize names and arguments for those tasks.
3. Publish remote-safe tasks into the hosted subset when appropriate.
4. Keep session-sensitive tasks on the local runtime.
