What is the difference between DQX and Lakehouse Monitoring?

[alexott]

Lakehouse Monitoring should be your first choice if you need post-factum data quality monitoring (once data is written to a table). Use DQX if you need pro-active monitoring (before data is written to a target table).

DQX can prevent corrupted data from reaching your cleaned/silver table, while Lakehouse Monitoring only detects them after they are already in the table. This is also one of the reasons why we built DQX.
