Data Observability 101
From Detection to Decision: Why Snowflake Observability Is Only the First Step Toward Data Trust
Snowflake's native observability tells you what broke in your warehouse—but not why it matters to your business. Without cross-platform lineage, business context, and downstream impact visibility, data teams struggle to answer the critical question: which executives, dashboards, and decisions are actually affected? Detection is only the first step; moving from alerts to confident action requires a business-aware observability layer that Snowflake alone cannot provide.
