Caring for your data, around the clock.
Data Shepherd is a Snowflake-native data quality monitoring and alerting platform. Freshness, volume, schema and anomaly detection - running entirely inside your account, with zero data egress.
Quality data, watched closely.
Built specifically for Snowflake. Deployed as a Native App, reading only the tables you connect, paid for through Snowflake Marketplace - and never sends a single row outside your account.
Snowflake-native, end to end
Installs as a Native App from the Marketplace. Runs inside your account on your own Snowflake compute. No connectors, no copies, no egress.
Rules that know your history
Freshness, completeness, schema drift and distribution drift - 25 built-in rules you point at the tables you choose, with historical checks that compare each run against your own data.
Alerts where you already work
Email and Slack alerts through Snowflake's own notification service - no plugins to install.
From install to first result, without leaving Snowflake.
Everything happens inside your own account, in Snowsight. No infrastructure to stand up, no agents to install, no data to copy anywhere.
Get it from the Marketplace
Install the Data Shepherd Native App into your own account and approve the two task privileges it asks for. Nothing to deploy or host.
Choose your tables
Connect the tables you want monitored and grant read-only access to each one. Or load the built-in sample data and watch a rule run first.
Set the rules that matter
Pick from 25 built-in rules, or let Data Shepherd profile a table and suggest some. Run them by hand or on a schedule.
Alert, investigate, fix
Get notified when a rule finds a problem, with the rule, table and affected rows. Acknowledge it in the app, or pick it up by email or in Slack.
Everything a data platform team expects.
Designed for the realities of a working warehouse - busy, governed, and never quiet.
Freshness & late data
Catch stale tables and late-arriving data before downstream dashboards do - against the recency you expect, or the arrival pattern your history shows.
Drift & anomaly checks
Distribution drift, period-on-period comparison, trend and seasonal checks that compare each run against your own history. Schema drift is tracked for every connected table.
Rules catalogue
25 ready-to-use rules, from completeness and uniqueness to drift and schema change. Configure them in the app, or have Data Shepherd profile a table and suggest some - no rule SQL to write.
Trends & reports
Watch pass rates and dimension scores move over time, and export any of 17 built-in reports as CSV, JSON or PDF - or have a summary emailed on a schedule.
Audit trail & access control
Every rule change, run, alert and acknowledgement is logged in tables you can query. The app reads only the tables you connect - SELECT, and nothing more.
Scheduling you control
One serverless task runs your scheduled rules - daily, weekly, hourly or on an interval. It ships switched off and costs nothing until you turn it on. Quiet hours hold alert delivery overnight.
The same governance you give your warehouse - extended to its quality.
Because Data Shepherd runs as a Snowflake Native App, your data, roles, audit logs and residency boundaries stay exactly where they are. No exports. No third-party processors. No new procurement risk.
