hosting 3 events in sf this week 💪

tues 2-5:30pm: data + code unconference (you set the agenda)
tues 4pm: happy hour w/ posthog + deskree (ice cream + pizza)
wed 5pm: devex demos at convex (vercel, grafana, arthur ai, deskree, convex, recce)

pure community vibes. links in thread 👇

#SFTechWeek calendar just dropped & we're doing something different at Recce.

Instead of the slide decks + swag bags that most of these become, we're hosting events focused on real community.

Ad-hoc validation scripts accumulate from past incidents but don't transfer to new contexts.

Under time constraints, data practitioners can only rely on validation scripts.

Impact Radius addresses this challenge through metadata analysis alone.

Marketing reports conversion issues. Investigation approach matters:

❌ Random data exploration

✅ Metadata-guided investigation

Click problematic column → column lineage shows derived or passthrough → trace upstream → identify real issue.
Building Impact Radius #3: Three Essential Workflows for Data Teams
After building Impact Radius, we realized showing the tool isn't enough. You need to see HOW it fits into your daily workflow.

Metadata analysis eliminates unnecessary validation queries.

Data practitioners commonly validate dbt changes by checking row counts across all downstream models: 47 models generating significant warehouse costs to identify the 3 that actually changed.

Try using metadata only

💡 For viadukt, data accuracy isn't a nice-to-have. It's core to their product.

"Now, with Recce Cloud, we've dramatically improved our ability to deliver reliable data and address issues before they impact our customers." — Pascal Biesenbach, CEO & Co-founder, viadukt

Column-level lineage emerges from standard dbt artifacts.

Running `dbt run` and `dbt docs generate` produces artifacts that enable column-level lineage visualization and impact analysis.

cloud.reccehq.com accepts dbt artifacts to demonstrate metadata analysis

The validation need is universal. The setup capability varies significantly.

Teams with robust infrastructure can implement comprehensive validation processes. Teams without DevOps have troubles. The gap creates an adoption barrier.

"The PRs created by John are always high quality. I can review them easily."

Users love having data validation included in their PR process. But how easy a tool is to set up determines actual usage.

Data teams consistently ask: "What validation is actually needed to ensure data accuracy?"

Product demos only do so much, teams need clarity on workflow integrations.

In our latest blog, Karen breaks down an entire workflow with a real-world example.

Ccomprehensive data diffing isn't universally necessary. Resource-intensive validation should be targeted and intentional.

Reading about "dbt artifacts" and "environment setup" doesn't automatically provide the infrastructure knowledge required for implementation.

The technical bridge from concept to working system often requires specialized expertise.

Structural changes reveal downstream risks before queries execute.

A partial breaking change can have no impact on downstream models.

Though breaking change analysis works at the column level, identifying a partial breaking change still isn't enough to get the precise impact radius.

🚨 Breaking Change Analysis Gap Confusing Data Teams
Software Dev: Breaking changes = planned improvements
Analytics Engineering: Breaking changes = unplanned problems

Solution: Column-level precision showing what actually needs validation.

A partial breaking change can have full impact on downstream models.

Setup complexity creates an adoption barrier.
Recce generates strong interest during demos, but implementation reveals a disconnect. Asking data teams to navigate DevOps processes creates friction.

'If breaking change analysis works at the column level, could impact radius be narrowed to the column level too?'

The solution seemed simple: just combine the breaking change analysis and column-level linage, right? Wrong. 😵

**Data validation is only useful if teams adopt it.**

Early demos of Recce, which highlights exactly what changes and how to validate, showed strong response. But low setup success rates revealed a different story.

The team is now reducing this friction. Stay tuned.

While building breaking change analysis and CLL, a question emerged: 'What if impact could be seen at the column level?'

Instead of 'this model has a breaking change, validate everything downstream,' teams could say 'this column changed, validate only what uses it.'

Breaking change analysis reveals WHAT changed, but not what to DO about it.
Teams discover a model has a partial breaking change. But which downstream models need validation? Which columns?

'Validate everything downstream' is expensive and wasteful.
Impact Radius changes that to 'validate exactly what matters' with column-level precision.
