AI Data Review Agent
-
An AI agent that inspects how a proposed code change affects the data it produces. Recce's AI Data Review Agent runs alongside a dbt pull request, computes diffs against production, surfaces unexpected downstream effects, and writes a review summary the team can sign off on.
-
Data Diff
-
A side-by-side comparison of the rows or aggregates produced by the same dbt model in two environments — typically the proposed branch vs. production. Recce produces row-level and aggregate diffs so reviewers can see exactly what changed before merging.
-
Data Lineage
-
The directed graph of how data flows between sources, dbt models, and downstream consumers. Recce uses the lineage from dbt's manifest to determine what models a code change affects.
-
dbt
-
Data build tool — an open-source framework that lets analytics engineers write SQL models, tests, and documentation, and compile them into warehouse-native transformations. Recce is built specifically for teams that ship data with dbt.
-
Impact Radius
-
The set of downstream dbt models, dashboards, and consumers affected by a change to an upstream model. Recce surfaces a PR's impact radius automatically so reviewers know whose data is at stake.
-
Materialization
-
How a dbt model is persisted in the warehouse — typically table, view, incremental, or ephemeral. Changing a materialization changes both the cost profile and the consistency guarantees, which Recce flags during review.
-
PR-Level Data Review
-
A review of the data effects of a pull request, performed at PR time rather than after deploy. Recce gates merges on PR-level data review so breaking changes get caught before they reach production.
-
Schema Change
-
A change to a model's columns, types, primary keys, or constraints. Schema changes are high-risk for downstream consumers and trigger Recce's schema-change impact check.
-
Time Spine
-
A dbt model that emits one row per time unit (day, hour, etc.) used to anchor metric calculations and fill in dates with no events. Required by dbt Semantic Layer.
-
Recce Cloud
-
The hosted version of Recce. Connects to your dbt project and warehouse, runs the AI Data Review Agent on every PR, and posts review summaries back to GitHub.
