While a data catalog helps you find and understand your data, data observability ensures that the data you find is actually reliable. Observability tools like Sifflet monitor the health of your data pipelines in real time, using features like data freshness checks, anomaly detection, and data quality monitoring. Together, they give you both visibility and trust in your data.

Data lineage provides visibility into data dependencies, which helps teams assign, prioritize, and resolve alerts more effectively. In an observability platform like Sifflet, this means faster incident response, better alert correlation, and improved on-call management workflows.

Containerization enhances data observability by enabling consistent and isolated environments, which simplifies telemetry instrumentation and anomaly detection. It also supports better root cause analysis when issues arise in distributed systems or microservices architectures.

Fostering a data-driven culture starts with education and collaboration. Salma recommends training programs that boost data literacy and initiatives that involve all data stakeholders. This shared responsibility approach ensures better data governance and more effective data quality monitoring.

We’re just getting started! Soon, you’ll be able to monitor dbt run performance and resource utilization, define monitors in your dbt YAML files, and use custom metadata even more dynamically. These updates will further enhance your cloud data observability and make your workflows even more efficient.

Absolutely! Sifflet's real-time anomaly detection and full data lineage tracking make it easy to catch issues in your dbt models early. This proactive approach helps prevent broken dashboards and ensures data reliability across your analytics pipeline.

Absolutely. Data lineage supports data governance by mapping data flows and access rights, which is essential for compliance with regulations like GDPR. Features like automated PII propagation help teams monitor sensitive data and enforce security observability best practices.

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.
