Data Quality

Catch data issues before they become reporting problems.

Monitor important datasets and business-critical metrics with checks, thresholds, and alerts that help teams react early. Catch nullability issues, range violations, pattern mismatches, and custom data anomalies before they impact analytics, dashboards, and reports.

The problem with silent data failures

Late-night errors

NULL values slip into production. Dashboards show incomplete data. Your team finds out at 3 AM.

Unexplained spikes

Data anomalies break downstream pipelines. Reports are wrong until someone manually audits.

Missing validation

Without automated checks, bad data propagates silently through analytics and compliance workflows.

Automated data quality checks

Define checks once, run them on schedule, get alerted instantly when issues appear.

Nullability validation

Ensure critical columns never go NULL. Monitor user_id, created_at, order_amount, and anything else that breaks downstream logic.

Range & pattern checks

Validate email formats, phone numbers, percentage ranges, or any value constraints your data must respect.

Custom SQL rules

Write any SQL expression to catch domain-specific anomalies: duplicate IDs, invalid state transitions, business logic violations.

How it works

Three simple steps to catch data issues before they propagate.

1

Define checks

Write simple SQL WHERE clauses that identify bad records. No code or configuration needed.

2

Schedule checks

Attach checks to your query schedules. Validation runs automatically with every export.

3

Get alerts

Receive instant Slack notifications, emails, or webhooks when checks fail.

Who uses data quality checks

Every team that depends on accurate data benefits from automated validation.

Analytics teams

Ensure dashboards and reports display accurate metrics. Catch NULL spikes, missing dimensions, and revenue anomalies.

Data engineers

Validate data at transformation boundaries. Prevent bad data from propagating downstream to BI tools and data lakes.

Compliance teams

Monitor PII masking, audit fields, and regulatory requirements. Detect anomalies that signal data integrity issues.

Questions about data quality checks

Can I define custom validation rules?

Yes. Write any SQL WHERE clause to define data quality rules. You can check for NULL values, invalid ranges, pattern mismatches, or complex business logic violations. Any condition you can express in SQL is a valid check.

How often do checks run?

Checks execute on a schedule you define. Attach checks to query schedules and they run automatically with every execution. You can also trigger checks on-demand or via webhooks.

What databases are supported?

Any SQL database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Oracle, and more. Checks are written in standard SQL so they work across all platforms.

Can I get alerts in Slack?

Yes. Configure Slack alerts to notify your team instantly when a check fails. You also get email notifications and can set up webhooks for custom integrations.
