Installation

Matchbox is a tool to make record matching iterative, collaborative and measurable.

The server allows any link or deduplication job on any warehouse to be stored in a common format. It holds user validation of clusters, and measures the quality of competing processes. This allows the organisation to designate the match pipelines that most accurately reflect the “nouns” of their data: the “people”, “companies” or “products” who exist across a dozen datasets.

Running the server locally

To run the server locally:

docker compose up --build

With Datadog integration

Datadog is an monitoring tool integrated with Matchbox.

Create a Datadog environment variable file.

cp ./environments/datadog-agent-private-sample.env ./environments/.datadog-agent-private.env

Populate the newly-created ./environments/.datadog-agent-private.env with a Datadog API key.

Run the server using:

docker compose --profile monitoring up --build
