Resilience
Never reprocess what already succeeded
Every pipeline runs as checkpointed stages. Resume from the exact stage of failure, and use delta updates to process only what changed.
- Keep the work already done: no re-extraction of the 800K documents that succeeded.
- Add 1,000 new filings to a 1M-document corpus by processing only the new ones.
- Measured: a 2.7× lower cost-of-failure ratio. Failed runs cost 2.5× as much as successful ones with vanilla Claude Code, versus 0.91× on average with DataChain.
