dbt-native data observability for analytics & data engineers

## What is Elementary? Elementary is a dbt-native data observability solution for data and analytics engineers. Set up in minutes, gain immediate visibility, detect data issues, send actionable alerts, and understand impact and root cause. Elementary has two offerings: an open-source package and managed platform.
## Open-source Package vs. Cloud Platform ### Elementary Cloud Platform Ideal for teams monitoring mission-critical data pipelines, requiring guaranteed uptime and reliability, short-time-to-value, advanced features, collaboration, and professional support. The solution is secure by design, and requires no access to your data from cloud.
