Puredata
Freshness · Volume · Schema · Distribution · Lineage

Puredata watches every table, column, and pipeline your numbers depend on — and pages you the moment freshness slips, a null rate spikes, or a metric drifts off its baseline. The broken row gets caught here, not in the board deck three weeks later.

  • Connects to Snowflake, BigQuery & dbt in minutes
  • Anomaly checks write themselves — no thresholds to babysit
  • Billed per table, never per row scanned

Sits on top of the warehouse and pipelines you already run

The platform

Five ways data goes bad.Puredata watches all of them.

Freshness, volume, schema, distribution, and lineage — monitored continuously across every warehouse table and pipeline, so a silent failure upstream never reaches the people who trust the number downstream.

Anomaly detection that writes its own checks

Point Puredata at a table and it learns the normal shape of every column — seasonality, weekday dips, slow-growth trends — then alerts only when reality leaves the band. No static thresholds to set, no rules to rewrite as the data evolves. Models retrain nightly, so a healthy Monday spike never wakes you up.

Freshness & volume SLAs

Declare an SLA in one line; Puredata tracks when each table last loaded and how many rows arrived. Late, empty, or doubled — you hear it before your stakeholders do.

Column-level health

Null rates, uniqueness, ranges, accepted values, and cardinality watched per column. Catch a fivefold null spike the hour it lands, not at quarter close.

End-to-end lineage

A live map from raw source to dashboard. Every incident names exactly what breaks downstream: which models, reports, and ML features go stale if you let it ride.

Schema-change diffs

A dropped column or retyped field upstream fires a diff and a heads-up to every consumer before it silently breaks their query.

The failures it caught last week.

Real shapes of data going bad — the kind that pass every green dashboard and surface only when a number is already in front of the wrong person.

Freshness

The pipeline that quietly stopped

An Airflow DAG failed silently at 2 a.m. and the orders table just… stopped updating. Dashboards kept serving yesterday's totals as today's. Puredata breached the freshness SLA at 41 minutes and paged on-call before standup.

Distribution

The currency that doubled overnight

An upstream join started fanning out and revenue per order drifted 2.1x off baseline — no error, no failed test, just wrong. The anomaly model flagged the distribution shift the same morning, with the offending model named in the alert.

Schema

The column that disappeared

A producer renamed user_id to account_id in a migration. Twelve downstream queries would have returned nulls by Monday. Puredata diffed the schema on deploy and notified every consumer the minute it changed.

Built for data teams

Monitoring as code,not another dashboardnobody checks.

Puredata runs where your team already does the work — in the warehouse, in dbt, in version control, and in the channel where you get paged. Set it up in an afternoon and let it stay quiet until something is genuinely wrong.

Read-only by design

Connect with a scoped, read-only role. Puredata queries metadata and samples — never your raw PII — and runs entirely on your warehouse compute, so your rows never leave your account.

Checks in version control

Define monitors in YAML beside your dbt models, review them in pull requests, and ship them through CI. Your data tests live next to the data they protect.

Alerts where you work

Route incidents to Slack, PagerDuty, or Opsgenie with full context — the failing check, the root-cause model, and everything downstream that goes stale — all in the first message.

An API for everything

Every check, incident, and lineage edge is exposed over a typed REST API and webhooks, so you can wire data health into your own runbooks and status pages.

Data teams on Puredata

The pages that used to be Slack threads.

A pipeline silently dropped 60% of our orders table for two days and our exec dashboard never blinked. Puredata would have caught it in eleven minutes. We bought it the week after that fire.

We deleted four hundred hand-written dbt tests and let Puredata's anomaly detection cover them. Fewer false alarms, and it catches drift those static tests never could.

When a number looks wrong now, the first question isn't 'is the data broken' — Puredata already told us, and the lineage map already shows everything it touches.

Straight answers for data teams.

Does Puredata read my actual customer data?

No. Puredata connects with a read-only role and works from table metadata, row counts, and lightweight column statistics. Profiling runs as queries on your own warehouse compute, so your raw rows and PII never leave your account.

How is this different from writing dbt tests?

dbt tests are static assertions you write and maintain by hand. Puredata adds learned anomaly detection on top — it models the normal behavior of every column and catches freshness slips, volume drops, and distribution drift that no fixed test anticipated. Most teams keep their critical dbt tests and let Puredata cover the long tail.

How long does setup take?

About an afternoon. Connect your warehouse with a scoped role, point Puredata at a schema, and it auto-generates baseline monitors within ninety seconds. From there you add custom SQL checks and route alerts to Slack or PagerDuty as you go.

Which sources do you support?

Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and Postgres for warehouses, with native lineage from dbt and orchestration signals from Airflow and Dagster. Looker and Tableau assets appear as downstream nodes on the lineage map.

Won't anomaly detection page me at 3 a.m. over nothing?

The models learn seasonality and weekday patterns, so a normal Monday spike or month-end batch won't trip an alert. Every incident ships with severity, root cause, and downstream impact, and you can tune sensitivity per table or mute known-noisy columns in one click.

Can I keep monitoring inside my own environment?

Yes. Enterprise runs Puredata fully inside your VPC or as a private deployment, with data residency by region, SSO, SCIM, and audit logs. Your telemetry never co-mingles with another customer's.
