I’ve come across multiple conversations and opinions about data contracts lately and have been thinking about how they would apply to the current data team’s realities. The idea is that data contracts can help us prevent data quality issues by formalizing interactions and handovers between different systems (and teams) handling data.

This is a long due post, predominantly because there is a lot of confusion around data lineage , data observability and the interdependencies.

The term “data lineage” has been thrown around a lot over the last few years. What started as an idea of connecting between datasets quickly became a very confusing term that now gets misused often. It’s time to put order to the chaos and dig deep into what it really is. Because the answer matters quite a lot. And getting it right matters even more to data organizations.
