//Abstract
When companies explore data quality initiatives, it’s common to wonder whether data contracts or observability is more critical. In this talk, we’ll clarify the unique roles each plays: data contracts focus on preventing known data quality issues, while data observability detects unknown issues across the entire data system. Drawing on real-world insights, we’ll show how these two approaches complement one another-think of observability as a flashlight illuminating the whole data landscape, while contracts act as a laser pointer, targeting specific areas. Attendees will learn why using both is essential for ensuring data reliability and efficiency.
