Alation Data Quality Partner

Ensure high-quality data assets in Alation with Lightup’s Data Quality Monitoring with AI-powered Anomaly Detection and Incident Alerts.

Democratize Data Quality for Alation

Just as Alation democratizes Data Discovery for data citizens, Lightup advances their mission by providing no-code Data Quality Checks — bridging the skills gap between technical data teams and non-technical business users that need to define, update, and deploy Data Quality Checks for Alation data assets.

Lightup democratizes Data Quality Checks, enabling organizations to distribute Data Quality workloads among data stewards, data analysts, and business users to:

Reduce reliance on engineering resources as sole authors of Data Quality rules for Alation assets

Increase trust in Alation data assets for stronger adoption

Accelerate and scale Data Quality Checks for 100% endorsed data assets in Alation

The result? Alation’s Data Catalog becomes business-critical for building a data-driven culture with self-service access to trustworthy data assets, based on effective Data Governance.

Integrated Data Quality for Alation

Lightup feeds data health insights to Alation’s Catalog and Lineage Mapping

Unlike legacy Data Quality tools, Lightup pushes queries down to data sources, without moving or copying data. Aggregate metrics are then pulled from the data source for AI-powered Anomaly Detection and rule testing in Lightup.

Lightup insights are surfaced in Alation’s Health tab, Catalog, and Lineage mapping, enabling you to:

Gain a full understanding of data assets

Leverage a centralized view of Data Governance

Rely on Alation for all Data Discovery needs

When there’s an incident warning in Alation, simply click the hyperlinked incident to drill into the incident time frame in Lightup, see correlated issues, and create Jira or ServiceNow tickets for further investigation.

No-code Data Quality Checks

Instead of having to learn a new proprietary rule engine, Lightup provides a graphical interface with easy-to-use dropdown menus to deploy no-code Data Quality Checks on real data, not just metadata.

Custom SQL Checks

Unlike closed-system Data Quality solutions, Lightup provides a full SQL interface to express complex business logic for custom checks, unique to your organization’s requirements.

The critical thing is Lightup integrating with Alation. It’s very, very important. Because to move forward with data governance without data quality visibility is impossible.

Query Governance

Lightup gives you full control of queries, so they don’t scan unnecessary data or run too long. For maximum efficiency, configure Lightup to colocate resources to run queries at optimal times after jobs finish. Plus, backfill historical data to understand trends, seasonality, and burn.
