With Amazon DataZone, the data owner can directly import the technical metadata of a Redshift database table and views to the Amazon DataZone project’s inventory. As these data assets gets imported into Amazon DataZone, it bypasses the AWS Glue Data Catalog, creating a gap in data quality integration. This post proposes a solution to enrich the Amazon Redshift data asset with data quality scores and KPI metrics.

Poor data quality can lead to a variety of problems, including pipeline failures, incorrect reporting, and poor business decisions. For example, if data ingested from one of the systems contains a high number of duplicates, it can result in skewed data in the reporting system. To prevent such issues, data quality checks are integrated into […]
