Pre-refresh checks
Catch bad data before anyone sees it
Every pipeline runs through freshness, volume, null, duplicate, and schema checks. A failed check holds the refresh and tells the owner what to fix.
NewSchema diff alerts are live
Check every pipeline in one place, hold a bad refresh, and catch gaps, duplicates, and schema changes before dashboards update.

Pre-refresh checks
Every pipeline runs through freshness, volume, null, duplicate, and schema checks. A failed check holds the refresh and tells the owner what to fix.
Schema diffs
Rowgate compares each load with the last known schema, then tests every added, dropped, or retyped column against your type rules.
Live freshness
Freshness, row counts, and failed checks update by source through the day, so you can pause a bad load before it spreads.
Features
Rowgate reads each table, model, and dashboard the way a careful analyst would, and it never gets tired during the nightly run.
Talk to salesrowgate check nightly-refresh --all-sources. Scanning 42 tables across 6 sources. Primary keys unique in 42 of 42 tables. Loads finished inside the 06:00 window. Null rate on discount_code up to 4.1%. Row count dropped 38% in events_raw. Refresh held until 1 blocking issue is fixed.
Benefits
Warehouse tables, models, and dashboards share one schedule.
Checks run on every load, so problems surface while there is still time.
Each table has an owner and a reviewer, and its status is visible to all.
Rowgate flags keys that appear twice before they inflate a total.
Freshness alerts warn you before a load arrives too late or too small.
Live checks from every source, side by side, without queries.

How it works
Step 01
Connect the warehouse, pick the tables, and set the schedule. Rowgate builds the checks and the run order.
Step 02
Sources load on schedule. Checks run on every load and on the final tables, so nothing slips through.
Step 03
Clean data goes out on schedule and every dashboard updates. Results stream back into the same view.
Customer impact
“We used to spend Monday mornings checking every dashboard by hand. Now the checks run while the data loads, and the morning is for analysis.”
Testimonials
The duplicate check alone paid for it. Our revenue numbers finally match what we actually billed.
Rowgate caught a schema change the night before our quarterly board report went out. That was a good morning.
Our data rules used to live in a wiki page nobody opened. Now every load is checked against them.
I can see freshness for every source on one screen. I stopped building that report by hand.
The checks point us to the right table, and we make the call, which is exactly how we want it.
Row count warnings stopped us from sending a half-loaded sales report to the whole company.
Incidents moved out of chat threads. Finance sees what broke and when it was fixed.
Setup took an afternoon. We connected the warehouse and two pipelines and ran our first check the same day.
The refresh report is the first one our team actually reads, because it is short and tells us what to fix.
We check more tables now because adding a new check takes a minute instead of an hour.
Our consultants run the same checks we do, so their models arrive ready to ship.
Month-end used to mean a war room. Now it is a calendar invite and a quiet dashboard.
