Bring data teams together with data contracts
summary
Introduces the Data Contract Specification and shows a live design session using Data Contract Studio plus an open source data contract CLI that lints, diffs and exits nonzero on breaking changes; shows YAML schemas, examples (timestamps in UTC, order_total in euro cents), soda checks and dbt model reuse, and an automated Teams channel and notice‑period workflow for subscriptions; claims contract‑first collaboration catches schema and quality regressions before deployment and that the tooling detects breaking changes in CI.
