The Growing Pains of Data Observability
You've successfully rolled out data observability to your data team. Incidents are caught faster, data quality is improving, and stakeholders are asking for access. Great news, right?
Then reality hits: Your Marketing team shouldn't see Finance's board reporting pipelines. Your contractors don't need access to customer PHI data. And your VP of Sales just asked why her team has to scroll through 847 assets to find the 12 they actually care about.
Welcome to the enterprise data governance challenge.
Subdomains: Hierarchical Organization + Granular Access Control
Today, we're launching Subdomains, giving you the enterprise-grade governance you need to scale data observability across your entire organization.
What You Get:
Hierarchical Structure Organize domains into logical subdomains that mirror your org chart:
Marketing (Parent Domain)
├── Brand Marketing (Subdomain)
├── Digital Marketing (Subdomain)
└── Marketing Analytics (Subdomain)
Granular Access Control Each subdomain has its own access rules:
- Finance team sees only Finance subdomains
- Marketing leadership sees all Marketing subdomains
- Contractors see only their specific project subdomain
Delegated Ownership Empower teams to manage their own observability:
- Product team owns their subdomain → configures their monitors
- Central platform team maintains oversight → focuses on strategy
- No more bottlenecks through a central admin team
Three Problems Solved
1. Security & Compliance
Pass your next audit by restricting sensitive data access to only those who need it. HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, all easier with subdomain-level access control.
2. Organizational Clarity
New team members instantly understand what assets matter for their role. Incident ownership is unambiguous. No more "I thought you were monitoring that."
3. Self-Service at Scale
Stop being the bottleneck. Teams create monitors, adjust thresholds, and organize their data without waiting for the platform team. 10x faster time-to-value.
Who Is This For?
✅ 200+ users needing different levels of access
✅ Multi-regional operations with different compliance requirements
✅ Customer-facing data products requiring strict segregation
✅ Highly regulated industries needing audit-ready access controls
✅ Fast-growing teams that don't want governance to slow them down

Subdomains are available now for Enterprise plan customers.
