phlo 0.7.10

Lakehouse platform

Modern data lakehouse platform. Plugin-driven. Storage-agnostic.

Features

• Decorator-driven development — @phlo.ingestion and @phlo.quality replace hundreds of lines of boilerplate
• Write-Audit-Publish pattern — Git-like branching with automatic quality gates and promotion
• Type-safe data quality — Pandera schemas enforce validation at ingestion time
• Plugin architecture — 12 plugin types: sources, quality, ingestion, transforms, services, hooks, catalogs, assets, resources, orchestrators, and CLI commands
• Storage-agnostic — Iceberg, Delta, or bring-your-own via table-format plugins
• Observatory UI — Web-based data exploration, lineage, and monitoring
• Observability — OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs via phlo-otel; Grafana/Prometheus/Loki stack
• Production-ready — Auto-publishing, configurable merge strategies, freshness policies, data migrations

What It Looks Like

import phlo

@phlo.ingestion(
    table_name="events",
    unique_key="id",
    validation_schema=EventSchema,
    group="api",
    cron="0 */1 * * *",
    freshness_hours=(1, 24),
)
def api_events(partition_date: str):
    return rest_api(...)  # Any DLT source


@phlo.quality(
    table="bronze.events",
    checks=[
        NullCheck(columns=["id", "timestamp"]),
        RangeCheck(column="value", min_value=0, max_value=100),
        UniqueCheck(columns=["id"]),
        FreshnessCheck(column="timestamp", max_age_hours=24),
    ],
)
def events_quality():
    pass
