Great Expectations: The Complete Guide to Ensuring Data Quality in Modern Data Pipelines
In today’s data-driven world, every decision, model, and strategy depends on the reliability of data. Yet, even the most advanced analytics pipeline or machine learning system can fail spectacularly if it’s fed with poor-quality data. Organizations often focus on building robust data pipelines --optimizing ingestion, transformation, and storage-- but forget the most critical part: ensuring that the data flowing through those pipelines is trustworthy. That’s where Great Expectations (GX) comes in. Great Expectations is an open-source framework for validating, documenting, and profiling data --ensuring consistency, accuracy, and quality across all stages of your data lifecycle. With GX, data engineers and analysts can automatically test and monitor their data, catching issues before they impact reports, dashboards, or production systems. This guide will help you understand how Great Expectations works -- from the core concepts to hands-on implementation, and how you can integrate it into production pipelines for continuous, automated data quality assurance.
Scaling dbt in Production: Advanced Materializations, the Semantic Layer, CI/CD, and Orchestration
Scaling dbt usually starts with a simple goal: make transformations more reliable. But as your data stack grows, dbt quickly becomes the backbone of the entire pipeline — and suddenly you’re dealing with long-running models, broken dependencies, and unpredictable builds. The good news is that dbt can scale gracefully. In this guide, we’ll explore the proven strategies modern data teams use to scale dbt using advanced materializations, the semantic layer, CI/CD, and orchestrators.
