GX Cloud
Databricks SQL data source support
GX Cloud now supports Databricks SQL data sources!
Learn more in the docs for connecting a Databricks SQL data source to GX Cloud.
Email alerts
You can now have GX Cloud send you email alerts whenever your validation runs have failed Expectations! It’s super simple: just toggle alerts on for the Data Assets you're interested in.
Email alerts are enabled by default for newly-added Data Assets.
Read more about email alert configuration in our docs.

New series
Data quality dimensions and use cases
We introduced a new series exploring different aspects of data quality this month!
Each blog explores a dimension of data quality using a regulatory lens at a fictional bank, FinTrust Bank. When you need to illustrate how data quality issues can actually manifest and then cause business problems, sharing these blogs is a great way to do it.
Even better for data teams: each blog has a corresponding technical guide showing how to implement relevant Expectations in the GX platform!
Read them here:
Exploring data quality: schema validation and Validate data schema with GX
Exploring data quality: missingness and the Validate missingness with GX
Try GX Cloud's Databricks SQL integration or email alerts: it's simple to get started with GX Cloud.
