Thumbtack saves 200+ hours per month with Datafold

Thumbtack, an online marketplace connecting local professionals with customers, faced a significant data quality challenge as its team of over 50 analysts and engineers submitted more than 100 SQL pull requests monthly. Manual testing processes to prevent data outages were time-consuming and difficult to enforce at scale, crippling the team's velocity. To address this, Thumbtack implemented Datafold's Data Diff and column-level lineage features.

By integrating Datafold's automated regression testing directly into its GitHub CI pipeline, Thumbtack saved over 200 hours per month and increased team productivity by more than 20%. Datafold automatically tests over 100 pull requests monthly, providing peace of mind and ensuring high data quality by preventing breaking changes and making downstream impacts clear. This solution from Datafold gave the team greater confidence and allowed them to focus on creative data work.
