A Single Source of Truth (SSOT) is a centralized repository where all organizational data is stored and accessed consistently. While it sounds ideal, achieving it is tough because different tools often measure data in unique ways, leading to multiple interpretations. Ensuring data reliability and consistency across sources is where data observability platforms like Sifflet can make a real difference.

Our approach stands out because we treat data observability as both an engineering and organizational concern. By combining telemetry instrumentation, root cause analysis, and business KPI tracking, we help teams align technical reliability with business outcomes.

MCP helps LLMs become active participants in data quality monitoring by giving them access to structured resources like schema definitions, data validation rules, and profiling metrics. At Sifflet, we use this to detect anomalies, enforce data contracts, and ensure SLA compliance more effectively.

We’ve rolled out several powerful updates to help you monitor data quality more effectively. One highlight is our new referential integrity monitor, which ensures logical consistency between tables, like verifying that every order has a valid customer ID. We’ve also enhanced our Data Quality as Code framework, making it easier to scale monitor creation with templates and for-loops.

Absolutely! With Sifflet’s data lineage tracking, users can view the full column-level lineage from ingestion to consumption. This transparency helps users understand how each metric is computed and how it relates to other data or metrics in the pipeline.

Sifflet uses AI not just for buzzwords, but to genuinely improve your workflows. From AI-powered metadata generation to dynamic thresholding and intelligent anomaly detection, Sifflet helps teams automate data quality monitoring and make faster, smarter decisions based on real-time insights.

It's all about presentation and relevance. Whether you're using Tableau dashboards or traditional slide decks, your data should be tailored to the decision-maker's needs. This is where data observability dashboards and metrics aggregation come in handy, helping to surface the most impactful insights clearly and quickly so leaders can act with confidence.

Batch ingestion processes data in chunks at scheduled intervals, making it ideal for non-urgent tasks like overnight reporting. Real-time ingestion, on the other hand, handles streaming data as it arrives, which is perfect for use cases like fraud detection or live dashboards. If you're focused on streaming data monitoring or real-time alerts, real-time ingestion is the way to go.
