Getting Started
This guide outlines how to launch Recce, whether evaluating it for the first time or expanding usage with Recce Cloud.
Recce supports data validation by:
- Explore what changed
- Validate downstream impacts
- Collaborate through shareable checklists
For a hands-on example, refer to the 5 Minute Tutorial.
Currently, Recce supports dbt projects. For teams using other tools, feature requests are welcomed and may be considered for the product roadmap.
Install
From within a dbt project directory:
Launch
To start Recce in the current environment:
Launching Recce enables:-
Lineage clarity: Trace changes down to the column level
-
Query insights: Explore logic and run custom queries
-
Live diffing: Reload and inspect changes as you iterate
Best suited for quick exploration before moving to structured validation using Diff.
Next: Diff
Tests may pass, but business logic or edge cases can still cause unexpected results. Comparing before and after helps confirm impact, validate intent, and catch issues early.
