Great Expectations May  2025 update banner with ‘What’s new in GX’ text, the GX logo, and a colorful data visualization on the right, symbolizing data flow and connections.

We’ve rolled out a set of updates designed to make it even easier to embed data quality checks into your existing workflows. From support for Amazon Redshift to smarter rule suggestions with ExpectAI, these enhancements help you move faster while staying in control.

Amazon Redshift 

GX Cloud now works directly with Amazon Redshift, letting you check your data quality without moving data out of your warehouse. You can:

  • Run data quality checks directly inside Redshift

  • Use Redshift's existing column storage and parallel processing capabilities

  • Add validation steps to your current Redshift workflows

This means you can check your data in the same place where it's stored and processed. Your validation rules work with Redshift's built-in performance features, making the process more efficient.

To get started, connect GX to your Redshift tables and add quality checks to your existing data workflows.

ExpectAI: Now available for all data sources

Tired of writing data quality rules by hand? ExpectAI, launched in February, helps you create data quality and observability rules in GX faster. Instead of spending hours manually crafting Expectations through trial and error, you can now get tailored validation suggestions in minutes.

What’s new:

ExpectAI now works with  GX Cloud data sources - not just Snowflake, but also PostgreSQL, Databricks SQL, and Redshift. We've also added a feedback system that lets your team carefully review and selectively approve only those rules that align with your specific data requirements and business context.

How it helps you: 

ExpectAI scans your data’s structure and values to recommend rules that reflect how your data behaves in practice. You stay in control, but with a big head start.

Try ExpectAI in your GX Cloud to see how it can simplify your data quality setup process.
