Helping data teams preview, validate, and ship data changes with confidence.

             

Trust, Verify, Ship

Cut dbt review time by 90% and ship accurate data fast

Recce gives data teams a faster, more reliable way to understand, review, and ship changes without all the guesswork or manual overhead.

Quick Start

You can launch Recce in any dbt project in just two commands:

# cd into your dbt project
pip install -U recce
recce server

This starts Recce locally, where you can explore lineage and run queries. To unlock the full set of diffing tools, such as data comparisons and impact checks, you’ll need to prepare two environments to compare against. You can follow our Getting Started and 5-minute Jaffle Shop tutorial to try it out step-by-step.

What You Get

Recce gives you a clear, fast way to understand what your data changes are doing and why they matter. It helps you catch problems early, verify metrics, and share your findings with others, all as part of your normal workflow.

What’s Included

• Lineage and impact mapping: Quickly see which models and columns are affected by a change. Navigate lineage down to the column level, and spot breaking changes with clear visual cues.
• Metric and data comparisons: Use Profile, Value, Top-K, and Histogram Diffs to compare results before and after changes. Validate things like row counts, category distributions, and numeric ranges without writing extra SQL.
• Query diff: Write and compare any two queries side by side. This is helpful when validating fixes or reviewing changes with teammates.
• Checklist for reviews and approvals: Turn your validation steps into a checklist. Add notes, rerun checks, and share the results with reviewers or stakeholders. In Recce Cloud, checklists can sync automatically and even block PRs until checks are approved.
• Secure by design: Recce is SOC 2 compliant to meet enterprise security standards. It runs locally or in your private environment, and your data stays in your warehouse.
