Datafold is the unified platform proactive data quality that combines automated data testing, data reconciliation, and observability to help data teams prevent data quality issues and accelerate their development velocity.

Welcome

A data diff is the value-level comparison between two tables, used to identify critical changes to your data and guarantee data quality.

What's a Data Diff?

Data Diff can compare data within and between databases (e.g., PostgreSQL &lt;&gt; Snowflake or between two MySQL instances), fast and without transfering the actual data over the network while providing full row, column, and value-level detail into the discrepancies.

How Datafold Diffs Data

Setting up a new data diff in Datafold is straightforward.

Creating a New Data Diff

Once your data diff is complete, Datafold provides a concise, high-level summary of the detected changes in the Overview tab

Results

We share best practices that will help you get the most accurate and efficient results from your data diffs.

Best Practices

Datafold's Data Diff can compare data across databases (e.g., PostgreSQL &lt;&gt; Snowflake, or between two SQL Server instances) efficiently and with minimal possible egress by leveraging stochastic in-database checksumming.

Once your data diff is complete, Datafold provides a concise, high-level summary of the detected changes in the Overview tab.

When dealing with large datasets, it's crucial to approach diffing with specific optimization strategies in mind. We share best practices that will help you get the most accurate and efficient results from your data diffs.

Datafold's cross-database diffing algorithm efficiently compares datasets between different databases.

How Cross-Database Diffing Works

Learn how Datafold integrates with your _Continuous Integration (CI)_ process to create Data Diffs for all SQL code changes, catching issues before they make it into production.

How Datafold in CI Works

Learn how to set up CI/CD testing with Datafold by integrating your data connections, code repositories, and CI pipeline for automated testing.

Getting Started

Getting Started with CI/CD Testing

Explore configuration options for CI/CD testing in Datafold.

Configuration

Datafold requires a primary key to perform data diffs. Using dbt metadata, Datafold identifies the column to use as the primary key for accurate data diffs.

Primary Key Inference

Specify column renaming in your git commit message so Datafold can map renamed columns to their original counterparts in production for accurate comparison.

Column Remapping

Explore best practices for CI/CD testing in Datafold.

Choose which downstream tables to diff to optimize time, cost, and performance.

Slim Diff

Ensuring Datafold in CI executes apples-to-apples comparison between staging and production environments.

Handling Data Drift

Monitoring your data for unexpected changes is one of the cornerstones of data observability.

Monitor Types

Data Diff monitors compare datasets across or within databases, identifying row and column discrepancies with customizable scheduling and notifications.

Data Diff Monitors

Metric monitors detect anomalies in your data using ML-based algorithms or manual thresholds, supporting standard and custom metrics for tables or columns.

Metric Monitors

Data Test monitors validate your data against business rules written as SQL queries, materializing failed records in a temporary table for review in Datafold.

Data Test Monitors

Schema Change monitors notify you when a table’s schema changes, such as when columns are added, removed, or data types are modified.

Schema Change Monitors

Manage Datafold monitors via version-controlled YAML for greater scalability, governance, and flexibility in code-based workflows.

Monitors as Code

The UI visually maps workflows and tracks column-level or tabular lineages, helping users understand the impact of upstream changes.

How It Works

Datafold offers a column-level and tabular lineage view.

Lineage

View a data profile that summarizes key table and column-level statistics, and any upstream dependencies.

Profile

Datafold can automatically ingest dbt metadata from your production environment and display it in Data Explorer.

dbt Metadata Sync

Datafold provides full-cycle migration automation with SQL code translation and cross-database validation for data warehouse, transformation framework, and hybrid migrations.

Datafold for Migration Automation

Automatically migrate data environments of any scale and complexity with Datafold's Migration Agent.

Datafold Migration Agent

Validate migration parity with Datafold's cross-database diffing solution.
