Data contracts are one of the hottest topics in the data management community. A data contract is a formal agreement between a data producer and its consumers, aimed at reducing data downtime and improving data quality. Schemas are an important part of data contracts, but they are not the only relevant element.
In this talk, we’ll:
- see why data contracts are so important but also difficult to implement;
- identify the characteristics of a well-designed data contract:
discuss the anatomy of a data contract, its main elements and, how to formally describe them;
3. show how to manage the lifecycle of a data contract leveraging Confluent Platform's services.

Quantyca SpAI’ve been passionate about data since I was a computer engineering student and since then, for the last 10 years, I've had the pleasure to work as a data engineer at a consulting company that specializes in data and metadata management. I have collaborated on many projects across different domains, experimented with lots of technologies, and realized data architectures for challenging scenarios. I have personally experienced all relevant changes witnessed by data management and I aim to always be on track with new technologies and approaches to be able to develop modern solutions.
