DATA INTEGRATION

Cross-project pipelines

To simplify pipeline management and cross-team collaboration, pipelines in Qlik Talend Cloudcan now be composed of multiple projects.

This gives data teams flexibility as they design their pipelines, and allow them to break up a complex pipeline of ingestion and transformation tasks into multiple projects. In particular, cross-project references can be used to segregate a pipeline by data domain, enabling Data Mesh design principles.

To get started, when creating a new project, select the Use data from existing project option.

Creating a data pipeline

Introducing Qlik Trust Score™ for measuring dataset trustworthiness

High-quality data begins with trust. Expanding on the proven foundation of Talend Trust Score™, Qlik Cloud introduces the Qlik Trust Score™ to streamline data quality assessments and provide immediate visibility into the trustworthiness of data assets across the organization. With an intuitive numeric score ranging from 0 to 5, the Qlik Trust Score™ offers a clear and actionable way to evaluate the quality of data products. The score is calculated by aggregating multiple dimensions and allows for flexible tuning of dimension weights to align with specific use cases.

Key benefits of Qlik Trust Score™

  • Customizable: Configure the Qlik Trust Score™ to align with your specific data quality objectives by enabling or disabling specific dimensions and adjusting their weight.
  • Actionable insights: Get in-depth metrics across different data quality dimensions such as validity, completeness, discoverability, and usage to identify quality gaps effectively.
  • Enhanced transparency: Track dataset freshness and usage metrics, fostering trust and collaboration across teams.

This feature is available for Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise.

Qlik Trust Score™

Freshness indicator available

With the latest update to Qlik Talend Cloud, users can now track data freshness in real time based on the data sources with the new Freshness Indicator.

  • Created from a file: The freshness corresponds to the last time the data was updated.
  • Published from a pipeline: The freshness corresponds to the last time the dataset was updated by a pipeline.

This feature helps users quickly assess the timeliness and reliability of their datasets. The indicator is available from the dataset overview, accessible through Qlik Cloud Data Catalog or Data Products Marketplace.

Data Freshness

Data Lakehouse capabilities for Snowflake projects

Qlik Talend Cloud pipelines introduces two new features to build open lakehouses with Snowflake. These features can be used independently or in combination.

The lake-landing task allows to replicate data to your cloud storage of choice in low latency. The downstream Snowflake storage layer can be scheduled to consume the ingested data at a slower pace. This capability reduces warehouse compute uptime requirements.

Storage, Transform and Data mart tasks can be configured to store data on an external cloud storage (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, or Google Cloud Storage) as Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables. Iceberg tables are managed by Snowflake and can be synchronized with Snowflake Open Catalog (previously called Snowflake Polaris) for full interoperability with any Iceberg-compatible engine.

Landing data to a lakehouse
