Get the slides: https://www.datacouncil.ai/talks/test... ABOUT THE TALK Data teams everywhere struggle with pipeline debt: untested, undocumented assumptions that drain productivity, erode trust in data and kill team morale. Unfortunately, rolling your own data validation tooling usually takes weeks or months. In addition, most teams suffer from “documentation rot,” where data documentation is hard to maintain, and therefore chronically outdated, incomplete, and only semi-trusted. Great Expectations - http://bit.ly/2OtmY1W, the leading open source project for fighting pipeline debt, can solve these problems for you. We're excited to share new features and under-the-hood architecture with the data community.
