Enabling Data Contracts for Reverse ETL

Iterate faster in dbt without breaking business workflows
Our vision is to create an environment where Operations and Data teams can collaborate on data projects with confidence.
Creating a reverse ETL sync also creates an implicit contract between teams that data will continue to be trustworthy, high quality, and available.

Our first step towards integrating with your data CI/CD process is dbt Continuous Integration (CI) Checks: a feature to help you double-check that your dbt work won’t break your Census syncs.

Census takes what the analytics team does out of static dashboards and into tools that the rest of the company uses, allowing us to actually deliver on the promise of being “data driven”.

Matt Nicosia
Director of Growth

I used to develop reverse ETL systems with Python and Airflow for destinations like Eloqua, Mixpanel, Braze, Intercom, and Salesforce. Every destination requires different data types, formats, rate limits, and API requests. Census saves me from maintaining my custom code, so I can spend more time to optimize the system itself.
