DataBuck
Big Data Quality must always be verified to ensure that data is safe, accurate, and complete. Data is moved through multiple IT platforms or stored in Data Lakes. The Big Data Challenge: Data often loses its trustworthiness because of (i) Undiscovered errors in incoming data (iii). Multiple data sources that get out-of-synchrony over time (iii). Structural changes to data in downstream processes not expected downstream and (iv) multiple IT platforms (Hadoop DW, Cloud). Unexpected errors can occur when data moves between systems, such as from a Data Warehouse to a Hadoop environment, NoSQL database, or the Cloud. Data can change unexpectedly due to poor processes, ad-hoc data policies, poor data storage and control, and lack of control over certain data sources (e.g., external providers). DataBuck is an autonomous, self-learning, Big Data Quality validation tool and Data Matching tool.

This comprehensive approach not only enhances efficiency but also fosters stronger collaboration among data teams.

Description

Version control, quality assurance, documentation, and modularity enable data teams to work together similarly to software engineering teams. It is crucial to address analytics errors with the same urgency as one would for bugs in a live product. A significant portion of the analytic workflow is still performed manually. Therefore, we advocate for workflows to be designed for execution with a single command. Data teams leverage dbt to encapsulate business logic, making it readily available across the organization for various purposes including reporting, machine learning modeling, and operational tasks. The integration of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) ensures that modifications to data models progress smoothly through the development, staging, and production phases. Additionally, dbt Cloud guarantees uptime and offers tailored service level agreements (SLAs) to meet organizational needs. This comprehensive approach fosters a culture of reliability and efficiency within data operations.
