Context

Production pipelines require stability, and Foundry offers a suite of configurable checks and notification tools to keep you and your team apprised of deviations from expected behavior. One such tool is the Data Health service, which provides a suite of prebuilt checks on various aspects of your datasets. And if those datasets are, for example, targets of your schedule build, then they also give signal about the overall health of the pipeline.
