Pipeline Passports
Issue a shareable trust warrant when checks pass. Auto-revoke on silent failure or KPI drift — the artifact execs and auditors can actually open.
Built for trustworthy data pipelines
DataXPipe is a pipeline contract with a live trust runtime — Passports, consumer contracts, KPI drift checks, and PR blast radius so green jobs and trustworthy data are the same event.
PR blast-radius preview
Diff a pipeline spec in CI and see downstream datasets, consumer contracts, and passports at risk before merge — commented on the pull request.
Consumer contracts
Producers write the pipe. Consumers write the promise — max staleness, row floors, KPI checks — with compatibility status against live producers.
Semantic / KPI drift
Catch wrong-but-green failures: kpi_baseline, row_count_drift, and distribution_drift against rolling baselines — not just freshness.
Pipeline catalog
Register pipelines, datasets, and connections in one contract. Import dbt or Airflow — don't start from blank YAML.
Silent-failure checks
Freshness and quality checks tied to runs. Alert when orchestrators succeed but data is stale — before stakeholders open the dashboard.
Pipeline Passports
Issue a shareable trust warrant when checks pass. Auto-revoke on silent failure or KPI drift so execs and auditors never open a stale link.
Each passport captures SLA expiry, owner, lineage hash, and check summary — the artifact your board pack can link to.

PR blast-radius preview
Diff a proposed pipeline spec against the catalog and walk lineage multi-hop. See downstream datasets, consumer contracts, and passports at risk before merge.

Consumer contracts
Dashboard and BI owners declare max staleness and row floors. Compatibility status compares those promises to producer freshness SLAs and active passports.
Broken contracts appear in PR blast-radius reports so merges don't wake Monday's board pack by surprise.
- ✓Register via /api/v1/contracts
- ✓Compatibility: compatible · at_risk · broken
- ✓Wired into CI impact markdown
Semantic / KPI drift
Wrong but green: freshness can pass while a metric drifts. kpi_baseline, row_count_drift, and distribution_drift compare against rolling baselines from prior passing runs.
Failures revoke passports and feed AI explanations that cite the last trusted warrant.
- ✓Typed runner in /api/v1/checks/execute
- ✓Baselines from check_results history
- ✓Tied to Passport revoke + alerts
Silent-failure freshness
Freshness evaluation honors max_delay_minutes and threshold_hours server-side — status is derived, not caller-supplied.
Alert when orchestrators succeed but marts are stale, with lineage blast radius on the failure explanation.
- ✓Real age-vs-SLA pass/fail
- ✓Check results tied to run IDs
- ✓Email and Slack alerts
Vision
The trust runtime for data pipelines
Not another catalog to configure — a platform that imports what you already run, issues Pipeline Passports, previews blast radius in CI, and keeps producers honest against consumer contracts. One contract replaces scattered Airflow glue, quality scripts, and wiki docs.
Import first
dbt manifests, Airflow DAGs, and warehouse discovery — not greenfield YAML homework.
Observe & warrant
Freshness, KPI drift, lineage blast radius, and shareable Pipeline Passports.
Contract & gate
Producer specs + consumer promises with PR impact analysis before merge.
