An open-source Python CLI for working with data contracts using the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS). It lints contracts, connects to data sources like Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Postgres to run schema and quality tests, and imports/exports contracts across 25+ formats.

Use cases

• enforce data contracts in ci/cd pipelines
• validate data quality against a contract
• lint open data contract standard yaml files
• export data contract to sql ddl or dbt models
• import existing warehouse schema into a data contract
• test that a data product complies with schema and freshness expectations

When to choose

• you practice data mesh or data product governance and need machine-readable contracts
• you want automated schema and quality checks against live warehouses in CI
• you need to generate downstream artifacts (DDL, dbt, JSON Schema, Avro) from a single contract file

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or dashboard-based data quality monitoring solution
• your data sources are unsupported by its connectors
• you only need ad-hoc profiling without contract definitions
