Summary

Datafold has launched a new Looker integration for Datafold Cloud, designed to preemptively catch data quality issues before they impact business intelligence (BI) tools crucial for decision-making. This integration provides data teams with enhanced visibility into Looker assets such as Explores, Views, Dashboards, and Looks that could be affected by changes in dbt code. Through Datafold Cloud's comprehensive column-level lineage and PR impact analysis comments, teams can identify potential data problems before they reach stakeholders. The integration addresses a common challenge where BI tools and dbt transformations lack seamless integration, often resulting in reactive fixes and frustration. By bridging this gap, Datafold aims to ensure that dbt code changes do not introduce inaccurate data into dashboards, thereby facilitating proactive data management and improving the workflow between dbt development and BI reporting.
