Yes, definitely! Companies like Saint-Gobain will be sharing how they’ve used Sifflet for data observability, data lineage tracking, and SLA compliance. It’s a great chance to hear how others are solving real data challenges with our platform.

Great question! Data observability goes beyond traditional data monitoring by not only detecting when something breaks in your data pipelines, but also understanding why it matters. While monitoring might tell you a pipeline failed, data observability connects that failure to business impact—like whether your CFO’s dashboard is now showing outdated numbers. It's about trust, context, and actionability.

Great question! Traditional data quality monitoring focuses on pre-defined rules and tests, but it often falls short when unexpected issues arise. Data observability, on the other hand, provides end-to-end visibility using telemetry instrumentation like metrics, metadata, and lineage. This makes it possible to detect anomalies in real time and troubleshoot issues faster, even in complex data environments.

Schema evolution can introduce unexpected fields or data type changes that disrupt both batch and streaming data workflows. With proper data pipeline monitoring and observability tools, you can track these changes in real time and ensure your systems adapt without losing data quality or breaking downstream processes.

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.

Silent failures are tricky, but with the right data observability tools, you can catch them early. Look for platforms that support real-time alerts, schema registry integration, and dynamic thresholding. These features help you monitor for unexpected changes, missing data, or drift in your pipelines. Sifflet, for example, offers anomaly detection and root cause analysis that help you uncover and fix issues before they impact your business.

Sifflet supports SLA compliance by offering intelligent alerting, dynamic thresholding, and real-time dashboards that track incident metrics and resolution times. Its data reliability dashboard gives teams visibility into SLA adherence and helps prioritize issues based on business impact, streamlining incident management workflows and reducing mean time to resolution.

Executive sponsorship is essential for scaling data governance beyond grassroots efforts. As organizations mature, top-down support ensures proper budget allocation for observability tools, data pipeline monitoring, and team resources. When leaders are personally invested, it helps shift the mindset from reactive fixes to proactive data quality and governance practices.
