Hello #C02CTC89LAX
I have a question, How do Elementary's built-in data tests such as anomaly detection tests, schema tests, and source freshness checks work without accessing the data? Could someone please guide me on this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Manav Paneliya, are you referring to Elementary Cloud not needing access to your data?

Elementary's dbt tests are defined on tables in your dbt project.
Those tests do query your tables in order to be able to detect anomalies in them.
May I ask why do you have the impression that it doesn't use the data?

Hey,
To summarise, I found this architecture on an elementary site. Elementary will refer to the elementary schema which is gernarted by dbt test and dbt run. So, in this way, elementary cannot access data. Ami right?
