Open Source Data Observability Quickstart Demo¶
Data breaks. Servers break. Your toolchain breaks. Ensure your team is the first to know and the first to solve with visibility across and down your data estate. Save time with simple, fast data quality test generation and execution. Trust your data, tools, and systems end-to-end. DataKitchen's Open Source Data Observability comprises two closely related products: DataOps Observability and DataOps Data Quality TestGen.
Install TestGen¶
Recommended Docker install
Recommended Docker install
Python package install
Install Observability¶
Recommended Docker install
Recommended Docker install
Key features and benefits¶
Find data quality issues in new data. TestGen profiles your data and automatically generates tests to catch anomalies before they reach downstream systems.

Watch for data quality anomalies. Continuous monitoring alerts you to problems as they happen — freshness gaps, volume changes, schema drift, and metric anomalies.

Monitor multi-tool, multi-data production processes. Observability tracks data journeys across your entire toolchain, giving you end-to-end visibility.

Make fast, safe development changes. With quality guardrails in place, your team can iterate quickly and deploy with confidence.

Set up demo data¶
After installing both products using the install links above, seed them with demo data for the quickstart tutorial:
# Set up TestGen demo data
python3 dk-installer.py tg run-demo
# Set up Observability demo data
python3 dk-installer.py obs run-demo
# Start the Observability Agent Heartbeat demo
python3 dk-installer.py obs run-heartbeat-demo
Then follow the quick start guide below to explore the product features and capabilities. It should take less than one hour to complete.
