How to Add Data Observability & Data Contracts to Databricks

Soda's latest features, Metrics Observability and Collaborative Data Contracts, are designed to enhance data reliability within the Databricks ecosystem by allowing both technical and non-technical users to participate in data quality management without the need for coding. These features integrate seamlessly with Databricks, offering a no-code interface through Soda Cloud for business users and flexible integration paths for data engineers. Metrics Observability involves continuous monitoring of data health, using a proprietary metrics monitoring engine to detect anomalies and provide insights into data patterns, while Collaborative Data Contracts serve as agreements between data producers and consumers, defining data structure, quality expectations, and delivery guarantees. This system is designed to prevent data issues by shifting quality assurance earlier in the data lifecycle, facilitating collaboration, and ensuring data quality standards are met. By combining these features with Databricks' native tools, Soda provides a comprehensive approach to data quality, enabling organizations to detect and resolve data issues efficiently before they impact business operations.
