# Getting Started

Telmai is a data quality analysis and monitoring platform that helps data teams proactively understand, detect, and resolve data quality issues. It uses statistical analysis and machine learning to profile your data, monitor it, and alert you when it deviates from the normal.

Most tasks need no code. When you need more control, you can write SQL row checks, expressions and custom attributes.

Telmai runs as SaaS, Hybrid or in your Virtual Private Cloud (AWS, GCP and Azure). See [Deployment Models](/telmai/deployment-models/deployment-models.md).
