Data quality management works best when it's a shared responsibility. Data stewards often lead the charge by bridging business needs with technical implementation. Governance teams define standards and policies, engineering teams build the monitoring infrastructure, and business users provide critical domain expertise. This cross-functional collaboration ensures that quality issues are caught early and resolved in ways that truly support business outcomes.

Sifflet stands out as a modern data observability platform that combines AI-powered monitoring with business context. Unlike Monte Carlo, Sifflet offers no-code monitor creation, dynamic alerting with impact insights, and real-time data lineage tracking. It's designed for both technical and business users, making it easier for teams to collaborate and maintain data reliability across the organization.

Absolutely! With Sifflet's Data-Quality-as-Code (DQaC) v2 framework, you can define and manage thousands of monitors in YAML right from your IDE. This Everything-as-Code approach boosts automation and makes data quality monitoring scalable and developer-friendly.

Agentic observability is our vision for the future — where observability platforms don’t just monitor, they act. Think of it as moving from real-time alerts to intelligent copilots. With features like auto-remediation, dynamic thresholding, and incident response automation, Sifflet is building systems that can detect issues, assess impact, and even resolve known problems on their own. It’s a huge step toward self-healing pipelines and truly proactive data operations.

Look for features like self-service discovery, automated metadata collection, and end-to-end data lineage. Scalability is key too, especially as your data grows. Tools like Sifflet also integrate data observability, so you can monitor data quality and pipeline health while exploring your data assets.

Sifflet's dbt runs tab offers deep insights into model execution, cost, and runtime, making it easy to spot inefficiencies. You can also use historical performance data to set up custom dashboards and proactive monitors. This helps with capacity planning and ensures your data pipelines stay optimized and cost-effective.

MCP is a game-changer for incident response automation. By allowing LLMs to interact with telemetry data, call remediation tools, and maintain context over time, MCP enables proactive monitoring and faster resolution. This aligns perfectly with Sifflet’s mission to reduce downtime and improve pipeline resilience.

Sentinel intelligently analyzes metadata like data lineage and schema changes to recommend what really needs monitoring. By focusing on high-impact areas, it cuts down on noise and helps teams manage alert fatigue while optimizing monitoring costs.
