DataXPipe

Airflow is green. Your dashboard isn't.

Catch the silent failure, revoke the Pipeline Passport, and stop the next hop. Airflow pauses, in-progress dbt Cloud runs are cancelled, and Hightouch or Census syncs turn off. Checks can run in your VPC.

Slack → Review the Passport and rerun
Rerun stays locked until the Passport is active again.

Detect

Green Airflow, stale or drifted data. The Passport revokes.

Pause

Airflow, dbt Cloud, Hightouch, and Census stop on that revoke.

Prove

Uptime, time to detect, and SLA compliance for the budget review.

Detect the failure. Stop the next hop.

Observability tools tell you the mart is stale. DataXPipe revokes the Passport and pauses Airflow, dbt Cloud, Hightouch, and Census — from a published price, with checks that can stay in your VPC.

Circuit breakers

A revoked Passport pauses the Airflow DAG, cancels in-progress dbt Cloud runs, and disables Hightouch and Census syncs. Rerun unlocks when the Passport is active again.

VPC agent

Run checks inside your cluster. Warehouse credentials stay there. DataXPipe receives pass/fail and aggregates — not sample rows or SQL.

SLA and ROI report

Silent failures caught, data uptime, mean time to detect, and freshness SLA compliance. A dollar figure appears only from a cost you enter.

SSO and roles

Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace via OIDC, plus SAML. Viewer, Analytics Engineer, and Admin — so security review is a configuration, not a stall.

Pipeline Passports

Issue a shareable trust warrant when checks pass. Auto-revoke on silent failure or KPI drift — the artifact execs and auditors can actually open.

PR blast-radius preview

Diff a pipeline spec in CI and see downstream datasets, consumer contracts, and passports at risk before merge — commented on the pull request.

Consumer contracts

Producers write the pipe. Consumers write the promise — max staleness, row floors, KPI checks — with compatibility status against live producers.

Semantic / KPI drift

Catch wrong-but-green failures: kpi_baseline, row_count_drift, and distribution_drift against rolling baselines — not just freshness.

Pipeline catalog

Silent-failure checks

Freshness and quality checks tied to runs. Alert when orchestrators succeed but data is stale — before stakeholders open the dashboard.

Outcomes

Built for operating pipelines at scale

Customers don't buy metadata. They buy fewer incidents, faster debugging, and proof for compliance.

Paused, not just paged

Bad data stops moving

A revoked Passport pauses the Airflow DAG, cancels in-progress dbt Cloud runs, and disables Hightouch and Census syncs. Rerun waits until the Passport is active.

Safer merges

PR blast-radius preview lists downstream datasets, consumer contracts, and passports at risk — commented on the pull request.

Pipeline Passport

Proof you can share

One contract generates, observes, and warrants. Consumers declare promises; producers honor them — without four disconnected tools.

The five-minute question
“Why not dbt + Airflow + Great Expectations?”
Those tools tell you a check failed. They do not pause the sync that already has a green upstream run. DataXPipe revokes the Passport and trips the breaker — one contract, from $99 a month, with checks that can stay in your VPC.

15-minute proof

From stale table to a paused sync — in one session

The aha moment is a green Airflow run, a revoked Passport, and a downstream job that does not keep shipping.

1
Connect what you already have
Import a dbt manifest, paste an Airflow DAG, or discover tables from Postgres — no greenfield YAML marathon.
Start from your messy reality, not a blank spec.
2
Generate checks & lineage
DataXPipe builds freshness, drift checks, and lineage from one contract — tied to the tables that matter.
One source of truth for observe + govern.
3
Revoke and pause
When the DAG is green and mart.executive_kpis is stale, the Passport revokes and the circuit breaker pauses the next hop.
Slack links to the Passport. Rerun waits until it is active.
4
Show the SLA
Re-issue the Passport after recovery. The SLA report shows uptime and time to detect for the people who approve the budget.
A dollar figure appears only if you enter a cost.

Trusted by data platform teams

Why teams switch to one pipeline contract

Design partners use DataXPipe to catch a green-but-stale run, pause the next hop, and give engineers a role that matches the work.

“We caught a stale executive dashboard before the Monday review — Airflow was green, the passport was revoked, and Slack had the blast radius in one message.”
Sarah Chen
Head of Data, Northwind Analytics

“PR impact comments show which consumer contracts break before we merge. We stopped guessing who to page from dbt DAG diffs.”
Marcus Webb
Analytics Engineering Manager, Riverstone Commerce

“Finance declares staleness in a consumer contract; we issue a passport when KPIs land. Auditors ask for the share link, not a Slack archaeology tour.”
Priya Sharma
Data Platform Lead, Helix Pay

Detection is table stakes. Action is the product.

Elementary reports a failed dbt test. Monte Carlo can fail an Airflow task if you wire in their operator. DataXPipe pauses the DAG and the reverse-ETL sync after the run already went green.

Need	Typical scattered stack	DataXPipe
Stop bad data after a green run	Page someone to pause the sync	Circuit breaker on Passport revoke
Silent failures (green Airflow, stale data)	Task logs + manual SQL	Freshness checks + Passport revoke
Prove data is trustworthy	Slack screenshots	Shareable Pipeline Passport
PR impact before merge	Hope + tribal knowledge	Blast-radius report in CI
Consumer vs producer SLAs	Email threads	Consumer contracts + compatibility
Wrong but green KPIs	Found by executives	KPI / distribution drift checks
Lineage & ownership	Spreadsheets + dbt docs	Catalog API + import from dbt/Airflow
Security review of warehouse access	Ship credentials to a vendor cloud	VPC agent. Aggregates only leave the cluster
Justify the subscription	A slide of anecdotes	Uptime, MTTD, and SLA compliance

Vision

The trust runtime for data pipelines

Import what you already run. When a check fails, revoke the Pipeline Passport and pause the next hop — Airflow, dbt Cloud, Hightouch, or Census. Prove uptime to the people who approve the budget. Keep warehouse credentials in your VPC.

Detect

Freshness, volume, and KPI drift when the orchestrator is already green.

Pause

Circuit breakers on Passport revoke, then a rerun once the Passport is active.

Prove

Shareable Passports, an SLA report, and SSO roles for the security review.

How teams use DataXPipe

Import what already runs. When a check fails, the Passport revokes and the next hop pauses.

Import the pipeline you already run

Bring in a dbt manifest or an Airflow DAG. DataXPipe builds lineage and default freshness checks from what is already in production.

Generate & deploy artifacts

Get Airflow DAGs, SQL transforms, runnable check scripts, and metadata bundles. Generated DAGs notify the catalog on every run.

Revoke, pause, and prove

A failed check revokes the Passport and trips circuit breakers. Rerun from the Passport once it is active. Show uptime and time to detect in the SLA report.

Pricing, Airflow, and Monte Carlo — answered

What buyers ask before they start the free tier.

What is DataXPipe?+

DataXPipe is a pipeline catalog and trust runtime for dbt and Airflow teams. It catches silent failures, revokes Pipeline Passports, pauses the Airflow DAG, cancels in-progress dbt Cloud runs, and disables Hightouch and Census. Checks can run in your VPC. Free for 2 pipelines; Team from $99/month.

How much does DataXPipe cost?+

Free for 2 pipelines. Team is $99/month for 20 pipelines. Business is $299/month for unlimited pipelines. Pricing is public — no sales call required.

Is DataXPipe a Monte Carlo alternative?+

For mid-market dbt and Airflow teams, yes. Monte Carlo can circuit-break an Airflow task if you add their operator to the DAG, and it fails open by default. DataXPipe pauses the DAG, dbt Cloud runs, and reverse-ETL syncs after a green run revokes a Passport — at a published price, with an optional in-VPC agent. Warehouse-wide ML anomaly platforms still fit huge estates.

Does DataXPipe replace Airflow or dbt?+

No. Keep Airflow and dbt. DataXPipe adds the catalog, checks, Passports, and the pause: when a check fails, the downstream DAG, job, or sync stops until the Passport is trusted again.

Start free. Pause the next bad sync.

Two pipelines free. Team is $99 a month. Business is $299. Circuit breakers, the VPC agent, and the SLA report are included.
