Getting started with data contracts

In this section, we’re going to look at exactly how to get started with implementing data contracts in your organization. We’ll learn how to identify a use case, prove the concept, and build the minimum required tooling.

The first step is to decide on your key objective(s) for implementing data contracts in your organization. What are the problems you want to solve first, and why are they important to the business?

This could be improving the dependability and performance of your data pipelines, maybe because you are seeing that users are losing trust in the data they are being provided and lack confidence in using it to support their decision-making. Or, it could be you want to make your data more accessible and easier to use in business-critical applications, including machine learning applications, as the development and successful deployment of those applications form an important part of the business goals.

Whatever it...
