DQX by Databricks Labs
Simplified Data Quality checking at Scale for PySpark Workloads on streaming and standard DataFrames.
✨ Key capabilities
- Rule-based quality checks — 80+ built-in checks (null, range, regex, referential, aggregate, geo, PII, and more) for row-level and column/dataset-level validation, with support for custom check functions.
- Code or config checks — define checks programmatically as code or declaratively as YAML/JSON configuration.
- Check levels — mark failed checks as warning or error.
- Custom reactions to failed checks — drop, mark, or quarantine invalid data flexibly.
- Detailed failure info — get detailed insights into why each check failed.
- AI-assisted rule generation — LLM-driven rule suggestions from business descriptions, powered by DSPy and Databricks Model Serving.
- Data profiling & rule generation — automatic statistics collection and quality rule candidate generation from existing data.
- ML row anomaly detection — Isolation Forest–based row anomaly detection with SHAP explanations and AI-generated narratives.
- Data contracts — generate quality rules from ODCS data contracts, including schema validation.
- Summary metrics & quality dashboard — built-in and custom aggregate metrics (input/error/warning/valid row counts, per-check breakdowns) persisted to Delta tables, with a Lakeview quality dashboard for tracking and identifying data quality issues.
- Actions and alerting — automatically send Slack, Microsoft Teams, or generic webhook alerts and/or fail the pipeline when summary metrics cross a threshold.
- Flexible checks storage — save and load quality rules from YAML/JSON files, Unity Catalog tables, Volumes, or Lakebase (PostgreSQL).
- DQX Studio — browser-based no-code UI for authoring, reviewing, running, and monitoring quality rules, deployed as a Databricks App.
- MCP server — Model Context Protocol server that exposes DQX as tools for AI agents (Claude, Genie, Cursor, and others), deployed as a Databricks App with on-behalf-of authentication so data access follows Unity Catalog permissions.
- Data format agnostic & streaming support — works with PySpark DataFrames and applies checks to both batch and Spark Structured Streaming (including Lakeflow Pipelines / DLT) using the same API.
