Answer the critical question: "What breaks if I change this?"

Use this BEFORE making changes to understand the blast radius.

Impact Analysis

Step 1: Identify Direct Consumers

Find everything that reads from this target:

For Tables:

  1. Search DAG source code: Look for DAGs that SELECT from this table
    • Use af dags list to get all DAGs
    • Use af dags source <dag_id> to search for table references
