Soda 4.0 – The self-driving data quality platform (soda.io)

Soda has announced the release of Soda 4.0, a self-driving data quality platform that revolutionizes how businesses manage data integrity. This platform integrates AI with the input of engineers and business subject matter experts (SMEs) to automate the defining, validating, and enforcement of data quality rules. The new Data Contracts engine allows organizations to write data quality rules in natural language, which are then automatically translated into executable code. This shift aims to eliminate tedious coordination between teams and streamline the enforcement process, making it nearly impossible for data tables to go untested. The significance of Soda 4.0 lies in its ability to unify data observability, quality checks, and automatic anomaly detection, all within a single interface. By utilizing over 50 built-in data quality checks and allowing definitions to evolve collaboratively, teams can ensure comprehensive management of data quality metrics. Soda's approach not only fosters agility by enabling teams to configure their data quality infrastructure as code but also improves the ability to detect and address anomalies in real-time. The platform promises enhanced efficiency in data management workflows, ultimately empowering organizations to focus on leveraging their data rather than getting bogged down in quality issues.
