Pre-ETL Validation Platform

Validate Sources. Prevent Failures.Ship Confidently.

Ilusion monitors your API endpoints and database sources for schema drift, downtime, and data anomalies โ€” before your ETL pipeline runs. Get alerted instantly when something changes.

The Problem

Your Pipelines Are Silently Breaking

Source systems change without warning. By the time you notice, dashboards are wrong and stakeholders have lost trust.

Features

Everything You Need to Protect Your Pipelines

Built for data engineers who are tired of debugging upstream changes at 3am.

Schema Drift Detection

Automatically capture and compare source schemas. Detect new columns, dropped fields, and type changes with visual diffs.

Pipeline Blocking

Webhook integration blocks Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect runs when validation fails.

// Airflow pre-hook
GET /webhook/validate

"drift": true
}

Source Health

Monitor API uptime and database connections with live status indicators.

How It Works

Up and Running in Minutes

Four steps to bulletproof your data pipelines. No code changes required.

01

Connect Your Sources

Add REST APIs or SQL databases. Ilusion tests connectivity and captures the initial schema automatically.

02

Set Your Baselines

Accept the discovered schema as your baseline. Ilusion will monitor for any structural changes from this point.

03

Monitor & Validate

Ilusion continuously validates schema, connectivity, and data quality. Trigger checks via webhook from your orchestrator.

04

Get Notified & Act

When drift is detected, Ilusion sends detailed alerts and blocks pipelines via webhook. Review diffs and accept new schemas in one click.

Dashboard

A Command Center for Data Quality

Source-centric navigation with per-source metrics, schema history, and alert management โ€” all in one view.
