Absolutely! With Sifflet’s declarative framework, you can programmatically declare assets from tools like Salesforce, SAP, or HubSpot, even if they aren’t natively integrated. This helps you maintain a complete and unified view of your data ecosystem for better data governance.

That's a great distinction to understand! Technical data quality focuses on things like accuracy, completeness, and consistency—basically, whether the data is structurally sound. Business data quality, on the other hand, asks if the data actually supports how your organization defines success. For example, a report might be technically correct but still misleading if it doesn’t reflect your current business model. A strong data governance framework helps align both dimensions.

The future of data observability is all about scale and responsibility. With AI adoption growing and regulations tightening, businesses need observability tools that can handle unstructured data, ensure SLA compliance, and support security observability. At Sifflet, we're already helping customers monitor ML models and enforce data contracts, and we're excited about building self-healing pipelines and extending observability to new data types.

Full-stack visibility is key to understanding how data moves across your systems. With a data observability tool, you get data lineage tracking and metadata insights, which help you pinpoint bottlenecks, track dependencies, and ensure your data is accurate from source to destination.

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.

Sifflet makes root cause analysis easy by providing complete data lineage tracking for your Firebolt assets. You can trace issues back to their source, whether it's an upstream dbt model or a downstream Looker dashboard, all within a single platform.

A great data observability tool should offer automated data quality checks like data freshness checks and schema change detection, field-level data lineage tracking for root cause analysis, and a powerful metadata search engine. These capabilities streamline incident response and help maintain data governance across your entire stack.

The upgraded Distribution Change monitor now focuses on tracking volume shifts between specific categories, like product lines or customer segments. This makes anomaly detection more precise by reducing noise and highlighting only the changes that truly matter. It's a smarter way to stay on top of data drift and ensure your metrics reflect reality.
