In the era of AI, poor data quality not only increases costs but holds back critical innovation. Unfortunately, data teams are often solely responsible for fixing bad data, even though they don't control data production where most problems arise.

Foundational data challenges require a rethink of how data is treated and how teams collaborate—with a solution that goes beyond just technology. Enter data contracts.

In this demo webinar, join a discussion with leading voices on data contracts and how the Data Streaming Platform makes data a first-class citizen, enabling data and analytics team success.

You will dive into:

  • Data Contract Fundamentals: Explore how data contracts enable higher-quality data efficiently, and the pros and cons of various implementation approaches
  • Going from Theory to Practice: Learn how to implement data contracts using Confluent
  • Data Contracts and Data Products: See first-hand how to build reusable, reliable, and real-time data products represented as streams or analytical tables using DSP capabilities such as Apache Flink and Tableflow
