Deequ

Deequ is an open-source library developed by AWS for data validation and quality monitoring. It is designed to help data engineers and data scientists ensure the quality and integrity of their data pipelines. Deequ provides a set of tools and APIs that allow users to define and enforce data quality rules, detect anomalies, and monitor data quality over time.

The library supports various data sources, including Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and AWS Glue. It offers a range of validation checks, such as completeness, uniqueness, and consistency, which can be customized to fit specific use cases. Deequ also includes a user-friendly interface for visualizing data quality metrics and generating reports.

One of the key features of Deequ is its ability to handle large-scale data processing. It leverages the distributed computing capabilities of Apache Spark to efficiently validate and monitor data quality in real-time. This makes it suitable for use in data-intensive applications and big data environments.

Deequ is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which allows for free use, modification, and distribution. It is maintained by AWS and has a growing community of contributors. The library is continuously updated with new features and improvements to meet the evolving needs of data validation and quality monitoring.
