Community Roundup: March 2022

We get the community together on the third Tuesday of every month. At each meetup, we discuss the Great Expectations Roadmap, watch ecosystem integration demos, and explore different ways data leaders have implemented Great Expectations. Sign up here to join the next one! 

Now, let's dive into the roundup.

Roadmap Update

We covered:

• Profilers

• Data Assistants

• Investments in documentation: Glossary and technical terms

• v0.15 release: Introduces standards for identifying & removing deprecated code

• Dropping support for Python 3.6

• And more!

Feature Demo

For March’s feature demo, Alex Sherstinsky walked us through a new Great Expectations capability: Self-Initializing Expectations. Check out the video:

Community Spotlight

This month the spotlight was on DataHub.

Maggie Hays and John Joyce introduced us to DataHub, an extensible metadata platform that enables data discovery, data observability, and federated governance within the Modern Data Stack. Then, they walked us through the newly implemented Great Expectations <> DataHub integration.

See what they had to say about bringing the tools together and where they think this integration will go in the future:
