Data quality has shifted from a checkpoint to being an operational requirement. As more and more data warehouses become cloud-native, and the complexity of running real-time pipelines increases, data engineers face a non-trivial problem: how to operationalize quality checks without slowing down the velocity of the ETL workflows. “Traditional post-load checks or static rules” do not suffice.

In observability’s early days, we often talked about the “three pillars.” That is, traces, logs, and metrics, which gave us the information to make our systems observable. The problem with referring to these three signals as “pillars” is that it implies they’re siloed and therefore independent of each other, when in fact, the exact opposite is true.

This has serious implications for how we design, deploy, and govern AI systems across institutions, economies, and everyday life.

Microservices have become the go-to approach for building systems that need to scale efficiently and stay resilient under pressure. However, a microservices architecture comes with many potential points of failure—dozens or even hundreds of distributed components communicating over a network. To ensure your code makes it all the way to the customer without hiccups, you need to design for failure from the start.
