Data contract coordination for warehouses

Data contract coordination for warehouses

Tessera coordinates breaking changes between data producers and consumers.

When a producer wants to drop a column, Tessera notifies affected consumers and blocks the change until they acknowledge. No more 3am pages from broken pipelines.

Producer: "I want to drop user_email"
    ↓
Tessera: "3 teams depend on this. Notifying them."
    ↓
Consumers: "We've migrated. Approved."
    ↓
Producer: Ships v2.0.0 safely

Quick Start

# Docker (recommended)
docker compose up -d
open http://localhost:8000

# Or from source
uv sync --all-extras
docker compose up -d db  # PostgreSQL
uv run uvicorn tessera.main:app --reload

Key Features

• Schema contracts - JSON Schema, Avro, OpenAPI, and GraphQL support
• Breaking change detection - Auto-detect incompatible changes
• Consumer registration - Track who depends on what
• Proposal workflow - Coordinate changes across teams
• Multi-source imports - dbt manifests, OpenAPI specs, GraphQL schemas, Avro registries
• Web UI - Visual interface for managing contracts

How It Works

1. Producers publish contracts (schema + guarantees) for their data assets
2. Consumers register dependencies on contracts they use
3. Breaking changes create proposals requiring consumer acknowledgment
4. Non-breaking changes auto-publish with version bumps
