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.

IBM Databand
Keep a close eye on your data health and the performance of your pipelines. Achieve comprehensive oversight for pipelines utilizing cloud-native technologies such as Apache Airflow, Apache Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Kubernetes. This observability platform is specifically designed for Data Engineers. As the challenges in data engineering continue to escalate due to increasing demands from business stakeholders, Databand offers a solution to help you keep pace. With the rise in the number of pipelines comes greater complexity. Data engineers are now handling more intricate infrastructures than they ever have before while also aiming for quicker release cycles. This environment makes it increasingly difficult to pinpoint the reasons behind process failures, delays, and the impact of modifications on data output quality. Consequently, data consumers often find themselves frustrated by inconsistent results, subpar model performance, and slow data delivery. A lack of clarity regarding the data being provided or the origins of failures fosters ongoing distrust. Furthermore, pipeline logs, errors, and data quality metrics are often gathered and stored in separate, isolated systems, complicating the troubleshooting process. To address these issues effectively, a unified observability approach is essential for enhancing trust and performance in data operations.

dbt
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.
