Foundational aims to streamline code development for data by introducing native data quality automation for Snowflake, leveraging Snowflake's Data Metric Functions (DMFs) to automate testing and data quality validation. This integration allows users to enforce data contracts and conduct real-time, cost-efficient data validation by triggering checks only upon actual data changes. Foundational's platform tracks code changes that impact data, automatically generating and updating DMFs in accordance with the latest data pipeline versions, thus minimizing ongoing development efforts. Additionally, Foundational offers a free online tool, the DMF Generator, for users to experiment with DMF-compatible outputs using SQL inputs. This approach enables Snowflake users to enhance data quality monitoring while benefiting from streamlined integration and reduced friction in maintaining scalable data validation mechanisms.
