Treating data as a product means prioritizing its reliability, usability, and trustworthiness—just like you would with any customer-facing product. This mindset shift is driving the need for observability platforms that support data governance, real-time metrics, and proactive monitoring across the entire data lifecycle.

Standardization is key to maintaining control as your dbt project grows. Sifflet supports this by centralizing metadata and enabling compliance monitoring through features like data contracts enforcement and asset tagging. This ensures consistency, improves data governance, and reduces the risk of data drift or unmonitored critical assets.

Hypebeast focused on phased deployment of observability tools, continuous training for all data users, and a strong emphasis on data quality monitoring. These strategies helped ensure smooth adoption and long-term success with their observability platform.

You can measure the ROI of a data observability platform by tracking key metrics like the number of data incidents per year, time to detection, and time to resolution. These real-time metrics give you insight into how often issues occur and how quickly your team can resolve them. Don’t forget to factor in qualitative benefits too, like improved team satisfaction and stronger data governance.

Absolutely! While we’ve built a powerful solution for Airbyte, our Declarative Lineage API is flexible enough to support other platforms like Kafka, Census, Hightouch, and Talend. You can use our sample Python scripts to integrate lineage from these tools and enhance your overall data observability strategy.

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.

SQL Table Tracer uses Antlr4 and a unified grammar with semantic predicates to support multiple SQL dialects like Snowflake, Redshift, and PostgreSQL. This ensures accurate data lineage tracking across diverse systems without needing separate parsers for each dialect.

Sifflet consolidates metadata from your entire data stack into a centralized Data Catalog, making it easier for data stakeholders to discover, understand, and trust data. With features like enriched metadata, Snowflake tags, and BigQuery labels, data discovery becomes faster and more intuitive, reducing time spent searching for the right assets.
