Data Match, AgileData Engineering Pattern

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern for the Data Match.

The Data Match pattern provides an automated, granular comparison capability to efficiently identify and report discrepancies between two datasets, moving from row counts to specific data values.

This ‘data diff’ solution transforms hours of manual data reconciliation into minutes by optimising comparisons for cloud analytics databases like BigQuery, serving as a support feature for on-demand exception handling rather than a continuous trust rule.

An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.
