Implementing data quality checks with the Astro SDK

Summary

Data quality is key to the health of an organization’s data ecosystem. Many Airflow users want to build data quality checks directly into their ELT pipelines: with in-DAG quality checks, you can halt pipelines and alert stakeholders before bad data makes its way into production. The Astro SDK is the perfect tool for implementing this use case. Powered by Airflow and maintained by Astronomer, the Astro SDK is an open source tool for rapid and clean pipeline development that allows you to seamlessly transfer and transform data without system-specific or Airflow-specific code.

In this webinar, we’ll give an overview of the Astro SDK and how it can be used to create ELT pipelines with integrated data quality checks in Python or SQL. We’ll cover everything you need to get started using this open source tool to ensure errant data never ends up in production.
