Etam is leveraging data observability as a foundational element of its 2025 data strategy. With Sifflet’s observability platform, the team can monitor data quality, detect issues early, and ensure data reliability, which helps them move faster and with more confidence across the business.

We built Sifflet to be your data stack's early warning system. Our observability platform offers automated data quality monitoring, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis, so you can identify and resolve issues before they impact your business. Whether you're scaling your pipelines or preparing for AI initiatives, we help you stay in control with confidence.

Sifflet is designed to bridge the gap between data engineers and business users. It combines powerful features like automated anomaly detection, data lineage, and context-rich alerting with a no-code interface that’s accessible to non-technical teams. This means everyone—from analysts to execs—can get real-time metrics and insights about data reliability without needing to dig through logs or write SQL. It’s observability that works across the org, not just for the data team.

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.

They’ve implemented a full enablement program with starter kits, trainings, and office hours to build data literacy and trust. Observability tools are just one part of the equation; the real focus is on enabling confident, autonomous decision-making across the organization.

With Custom Metadata, you can tag any asset, monitor, or domain in Sifflet using flexible key-value pairs. This makes it easier to organize and route data based on your internal logic, whether it's ownership, SLA compliance, or business unit. It's a big step forward for data governance and helps teams surface high-priority monitors more effectively.

Data observability is crucial no matter which integration method you use. With ETL or ELT, you're moving and transforming data across multiple systems, which can introduce errors or delays. An observability platform like Sifflet helps you track data freshness, detect anomalies, and ensure SLA compliance across your pipelines. This means fewer surprises, faster root cause analysis, and more reliable data for your business teams.
