dbt testing & code quality · InfuseAI (DataRecce)

Recce

Open-source data-diffing agent that reviews the downstream impact of a dbt pull request before it merges.

Visit Recce Alternatives

Recce is a data-validation tool for dbt pull requests: it runs schema diffs, row-level data diffs, row counts, and column-level profile and histogram comparisons between a PR's changed models and production, plus downstream lineage impact, so a reviewer can see exactly what a code change did to the data before merging rather than trusting the SQL diff alone. It ships as an Apache-2.0-licensed, self-hostable Python CLI (recce) for local and CI use, with a paid Recce Cloud layer adding an AI agent that explains findings, shared team checklists, and PR-integrated collaboration. It complements, rather than replaces, dbt's built-in dbt test: Recce is about catching unintended data changes from a diff, not asserting business rules.

Terms to know

dbt (data build tool) An open-source tool from dbt Labs that lets analytics teams write data transformations as version-controlled, tested SQL. Data quality The degree to which data is accurate, complete, consistent and fit for the purpose it is being used for. Data lineage A traceable record of where data came from, how it was transformed, and where it is used downstream. Data pipeline The automated sequence of steps that moves data from source systems to a destination, transforming it along the way.
