This project describes the data contract being used in the implementation of Data Mesh at PayPal. It is available for you as an Apache 2.0 license. Contributions are welcome!

Discover the template. This file contains the explanation and several examples.

A data contract defines the agreement between a data producer and consumer. A data contract contains several sections:

• Fundamentals.
• Schema.
• Data quality.
• Service-level agreement (SLA).
• Security & stakeholders.
• Custom properties.
