Hi everyone, We are using

dagster-kubernetes

with

dagster-postgres

to store runs. All of our pipelines involves ETL on data in an S3

delta-table

. We’re trying to figure out how to run dagster locally to invoke specific downstream assets. Unfortunately, we don’t really have access to our postgres runs, locally. Is there a general way to invoke an asset without needing to materialize every upstream asset from it?

If running locally, you could use

materialize

or

materialize_to_memory

and replace the upstream assets with dummy assets a la

from dagster import asset

def create_dummy_asset(val, key):
    @asset(name=key)
    def some_asset():
        return val

    return some_asset
