Introduction
Datafold offers an end-to-end toolkit to automate data quality for human and AI engineers. Its data diff compares datasets within or across databases with value-level precision at any scale, which is invaluable when reviewing a dbt change or validating a migration.
ML-driven monitoring watches data quality across dimensions, specialised AI agents handle migrations, optimisation and code reviews, and a context layer helps AI agents work effectively in data engineering. Datafold also sells migrations with a guaranteed price, timeline and quality.
Data tests belong in the same pull request as the model change, just as unit tests travel with application code. Start with a few checks on the tables your dashboards and machine learning features depend on, then widen coverage as incidents show you where data breaks.
Features
- Data diff: Value-level comparison across databases.
- Monitoring: ML-driven checks.
- AI agents: Migrations, optimisation and reviews.
- Agent context layer: For data engineering agents.
- Migration service: Guaranteed outcomes.
Pros
- Precise diffs: Value-level, at scale.
Cons
- Enterprise pricing: Not public.
Usage and Links (Example)
- Connect your warehouse and dbt project.
- Run data diffs on pull requests.
- Add monitors on critical tables.
