Use the generated reports to verify your changes and enable you to merge into prod confidently, without unexpected impact.\n\n## What are `Impact Reports`?\n\nImpact Reports provide details about the impact radius of data modeling changes and downstream impact.\u0026#x20;\n\nPipeRider surfaces impact in three main places.\n\n### Impact Reports\n\nAn HTML report that contains a full breakdown of your data including:\n\n* **Impact Summary** - An overview of impacted resources and the types of impact.\n* **Data profile diff** - A detailed comparison of data profile statistics about your data.\n* **Lineage Diff** - A visualization in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that shows the impact to the data pipeline after changes.\n* **Metrics diff** - A graph-based comparison of how dbt metrics have been impacted.\n\n### Pull Request Impact Summary\n\nAn overview of the data impact in a dbt project that is automatically added to the comments section of a pull request, and includes:\n\n* **Impact Overview** - The number and types of impact that have occurred due to code changes in the pull request.\n* **Resource Impact** - A list of models and an assessment of impact.\n* **Metrics Impact** - Details of metrics impacted by the code changes.\n\n### CLI Impact Summary\n\nA surface-level summary that shows the main areas of impact when running PipeRider on the command line.\n\n## Why use `PipeRider`?\n\n* **See the scope of impact** that your dbt project code changes have on your data.\n* **Improve your development process** by understanding your data and the impact of your changes.\n* **Improve your code-review process** by verifying data impact before merging code changes.\n* **Improve communication** between stakeholders and teammates by sharing and discussing Impact Reports.\n* Keep a historical **record of data impact** reports for future reference.\n* **Compare** the current state of your project **with any point in the past**.\n\n## Getting started with `PipeRider`\n\nPipeRider is a **zero-config installation for dbt projects**, no, _really_. In the majority of cases you can run PipeRider locally and generate an Impact Report in [just two commands](get-started/install-piperider.md).\n\n1. Follow the [Quick Start guide](get-started/quick-start.md) to try out using PipeRider locally.\n2. Sign up for [PipeRider Cloud](piperider-cloud/get-started.md) and upload and [share your first report](piperider-cloud/upload-data-reports.md).\n3. Set up PipeRider in your CI process using the [PipeRider Compare GitHub Action](https://github.com/InfuseAI/piperider-compare-action).\n\n## Try `PipeRider` without installing\n\nIt’s also possible to try our PipeRider without installing.\n\nHead to [Quick Look](https://cloud.piperider.io/quick-look) on PipeRider Cloud and do one of the following:\n\n* Paste a link to a pull request on your dbt project.\n* Upload two dbt manifest.json files.\n\nPipeRider Cloud will generate an Impact report with **schema change** and **Lineage Diff**.\n\n{% hint style=\"info\" %}\nNote that Impact Reports generated from dbt manifest files and GitHub links are more lightweight than the full report and focus on schema change and Lineage Diff.\n{% endhint %}\n\n## Join the `PipeRider` community\n\n* [Star PipeRider](https://github.com/InfuseAI/piperider) on GitHub.\n* Join the [#tools-piperider](https://getdbt.slack.com/archives/C05C28V7CPP) channel on the [dbt Slack](https://www.getdbt.com/community/join-the-community).\n* Join the [PipeRider Discord](https://piperider.io/discord) community\n* Report a [bug or post a feature request](https://github.com/InfuseAI/piperider/issues/new/choose)\n\n##\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Finfuseai%2Fpiperider-documentation","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Finfuseai%2Fpiperider-documentation","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Finfuseai%2Fpiperider-documentation/lists"}
