    Metrics Observability & Troubleshooting

  • Think of Datadrift as a simple & open-source Monte Carlo for the semantic layer era. The repo is at https://github.com/data-drift/data-drift

    Datadrift started as an internal tool built at our former company, a large European B2B Fintech. We had data reliability challenges impacting key metrics used for financial and regulatory reporting.

    However, when we tried existing data quality tools we where always frustrated. They provide row-level static testing (eg. uniqueness or nullness) which does not address time-varying metrics like revenues. And commercial observability solutions costs $manyK a month and brings compliance and security overhead.

    We designed Datadrift to solve these problems. Datadrift works by simply adding a monitor where your metric is computed. It then understands how your metric is computed and on which upstream tables it depends. When an issue occurs, it pinpoints exactly which rows have been updated and introducing the change.

    You can also set up alerting and customise it. For example, you can decide to open and assign an Github issue to the analyst owning the revenue metric when a +10% change is detected. We tried to make it easy to customise and developer friendly.

    We are thinking of adding features around root cause analysis automation/issues pattern analysis to help data teams improve metrics quality overtime. We’d love to hear your feature requests.

    Datadrift is built with Python and Go, and licensed under GPL. Our docs are here: https://github.com/data-drift/data-drift?tab=readme-ov-file#...

    Dev set up and demo : https://app.claap.io/sammyt/drift-db-demo-a18-c-ApwBh9kt4p-0...

    We’re very eager to get your feedback!
