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.

Sifflet helps you identify underused or orphaned data assets through lineage and usage metadata. By analyzing this data, you can make informed decisions about deprecating unused tables or enhancing monitoring for critical pipelines. It's a smart way to improve pipeline resilience and reduce unnecessary costs in your data ecosystem.

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.

A good observability platform should fit right into your current stack. That means supporting tools like dbt, Airflow, and your cloud infrastructure. Seamless integration ensures better pipeline orchestration visibility and makes it easier to act on data issues without disrupting your workflows.

Absolutely! With Sifflet’s data quality monitoring integrated into Airflow DAGs, you can detect and isolate bad-quality data before it impacts downstream processes. This helps maintain high data reliability and supports SLA compliance.

Great question! Sifflet enhances your dbt environment by adding a robust data observability layer that enforces standards, monitors key metrics, and ensures data quality monitoring across thousands of models. With centralized metadata, automated monitors, and lineage tracking, Sifflet helps teams avoid the usual pitfalls of scaling like ownership ambiguity and technical debt.

A data platform is a unified system that helps companies collect, store, process, and analyze data across their organization. It acts as the central nervous system for all data operations, powering dashboards, AI models, and decision-making. When paired with strong data observability, it ensures teams can trust their data and move faster with confidence.

You can use data profiling and anomaly detection tools to compare datasets before and after migration. These features are often built into modern data observability platforms and help you validate that nothing critical was lost or changed during the move.
