Frequently asked questions

What role does real-time data play in modern analytics pipelines?
Real-time data is becoming a game-changer for analytics, especially in use cases like fraud detection and personalized recommendations. Streaming data monitoring and real-time metrics collection are essential to harness this data effectively, ensuring that insights are both timely and actionable.
How has AI changed the way companies think about data quality monitoring?
AI has definitely raised the stakes. As Salma shared on the Joe Reis Show, executives are being asked to 'do AI,' but many still struggle with broken pipelines. That’s why data quality monitoring and robust data observability are now seen as prerequisites for scaling AI initiatives effectively.
What is data observability and why is it important for modern data teams?
Data observability is the practice of monitoring data as it moves through your pipelines to detect, understand, and resolve issues proactively. It’s crucial because it helps data teams ensure data reliability, improve decision-making, and reduce the time spent firefighting data issues. With the growing complexity of data systems, having a robust observability platform is key to maintaining trust in your data.
What makes Sifflet's architecture unique for secure data pipeline monitoring?
Sifflet uses a cell-based architecture that isolates each customer’s instance and database. This ensures that even under heavy usage or a potential breach, your data pipeline monitoring remains secure, reliable, and unaffected by other customers’ activities.
Can I trust the data I find in the Sifflet Data Catalog?
Absolutely! Thanks to Sifflet’s built-in data quality monitoring, you can view real-time metrics and health checks directly within the Data Catalog. This gives you confidence in the reliability of your data before making any decisions.
Is Sifflet's Data Sharing compatible with cloud data platforms like Snowflake or BigQuery?
Yes, it is! Sifflet currently supports Data Sharing to Snowflake, BigQuery, and S3, with more destinations on the way. This makes it easy to integrate Sifflet into your cloud data observability strategy and leverage your existing infrastructure for deeper insights and proactive monitoring.
How does the shift from ETL to ELT impact data pipeline monitoring?
The move from ETL to ELT allows organizations to load raw data into the warehouse first and transform it later, making pipeline management more flexible and cost-effective. However, it also increases the need for data pipeline monitoring to ensure that transformations happen correctly and on time. Observability tools help track ingestion latency, transformation success, and data drift detection to keep your pipelines healthy.
Why is data categorization important for data governance and compliance?
Effective data categorization is essential for data governance and compliance because it helps identify sensitive data like PII, ensuring the correct protection policies are applied. With Sifflet’s classification tags, governance teams can easily locate and safeguard sensitive information, supporting GDPR data monitoring and overall data security compliance.
