TL;DR: At Coinbase, data quality checks used to live wherever they were written, usually buried in pipeline code and invisible to the people who depended on the data. The Data Platform team built the Data Quality Observability Platform (DQOP) so that anyone who depends on a dataset can declare what they expect from it in the data catalog, and a failure route to someone accountable for fixing it.
