Enforcing Data Architecture Rules: From Guidelines to Guarantees
Data rules buried in docs don’t work. Learn how to enforce them with tests that run silently in the background and never forget.

What’s it about?
Are your data architecture rules truly enforced, or are they just hopeful suggestions buried in Confluence pages, Word docs, or readme files? If your rules live only in documentation, they’re not rules, they’re wishful thinking.
What will you learn?
In this practical webinar, we’ll challenge the idea that documenting standards is enough.
Whether it’s naming conventions, mandatory columns in specific schemas, or ensuring things like staging tables match source systems - rules like these are essential for building professional, maintainable data solutions. But unless they’re enforced automatically, they’ll be forgotten or ignored within weeks.
You’ll explore real-world examples of how to automate the enforcement of data architectural rules using CAT and learn how to create automated tests in minutes, such as:
- Ensuring naming conventions are followed
- Validating mandatory column requirements
- Enforcing index strategies
- Maintaining consistency in Power BI semantic models
The beauty of this approach? You automate the rules once, they run silently in the background, and only notify you when broken. No more manual checking, no more hoping people remember the standards. No wasted time on peer-reviews - review other things instead. Don’t do what machines can do for you.
Who is it for?
This session is for data engineers, database developers, testers, and data solution architects who are building and maintaining professional data systems.
Why should you attend?
The technologies you use don’t matter - consistent, maintainable solutions do.
The rules are yours to define, but they must be enforced to matter.
Join us and walk away with practical skills to move from guidelines to guarantees using automation you can implement immediately.
Register now and transform your data architecture from wishful thinking into automated reality.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, the webinar will be recorded. While we don’t share it automatically, we may use parts of it for future content. Let us know if you’re interested in receiving a follow-up.
No. If you know basic SQL, you’ll be able to follow along. The webinar is designed for both technical and semi-technical roles.
No installation is required. We’ll demonstrate everything live using real-world examples and metadata-driven techniques.
Absolutely. There will be time for live Q&A at the end of the session.
Yes. While we’ll show what’s possible with CAT, the principles and techniques shared will be useful regardless of your current tooling.
Organized by
We run webinars and hybrid meetups that help data teams build trust in their pipelines through smart, practical data testing.
