Questions people ask
Is Great Expectations free?
GX Core has no software license fee and uses the Apache 2.0 license. You pay for the resources and work needed to run it, including compute, setup, and ongoing maintenance.
What happened to GX Cloud?
GX Cloud shut down following its acquisition by FICO. GX Core continues as an open-source project under Fivetran's stewardship. Don't use the old Cloud plan names as current subscription options.
Does Great Expectations fix bad data?
GX validates data against rules and reports the results. In my test it identified deliberate errors without correcting them. Your pipeline or team must decide how to handle the failing records.
Can Great Expectations replace dbt?
I wouldn't treat it as a replacement for dbt's transformation workflow. GX focuses on validation. If dbt already covers your checks, start there; consider GX when you need a separate quality framework or validation outside those models.
Can a passing GX check contain missing values?
Yes. My nonnegative-amount rule passed with missing values present. Add a not-null Expectation when completeness matters, and check how each rule handles missing data and tolerance.
