In a Nutshell

Data Quality is a best practices concept in the Data Engineering pillar.

Data Quality is a best practices concept in the Data Engineering pillar.

Analogy
Think of Data Quality like a maintenance checklist for a power plant — it helps you handle best practices tasks more effectively.
Example
Consider a scenario where Data Quality applies: Data Quality covers best practices in Data Engineering. This data engineering concept addresses key topics in the best practices in data engineering domain. Also known as: data observability, data val...
