Introducing Soda SQL

Soda SQL is an open-source tool designed to enhance data quality by focusing on metric collection, data testing, and data monitoring for SQL-accessible data. Developed as part of Soda's strategy to provide robust data management tools, it empowers data engineers to implement test-driven development principles in their workflow, addressing the need for reliable data pipelines and protection against silent data issues. Soda SQL operates using industry-standard YAML configuration files, allowing engineers to define and audit data tests and metrics efficiently. The tool integrates seamlessly into existing data environments by using SQL, eliminating the need to transfer data for testing. Complementing Soda SQL is the Soda Data Monitoring Platform, which offers real-time insights through a no-code interface, enabling data teams to collaborate and manage data quality effectively. Soda's commitment to open-source development aims to foster community engagement and expand support to streaming and dataframes, ultimately advancing data observability across technology stacks.
