Absolutely! Sifflet’s data lineage tracking gives you a clear view of how data flows and transforms across your systems. This level of transparency is crucial for root cause analysis and ensuring data governance standards are met.

Etam uses observability tools like Sifflet to maintain a healthy data pipeline. By continuously monitoring real-time metrics and setting up proactive alerts, they can catch issues early and ensure their data remains trustworthy as they scale operations.

Flow Stopper is a powerful feature in Sifflet's observability platform that allows you to pause vulnerable pipelines at the orchestration layer before issues reach production. It helps with proactive data pipeline monitoring by catching anomalies early and preventing downstream damage to your data systems.

Embedding observability tools like Flow Stopper at the orchestration level gives teams visibility into pipeline health before data hits production. This kind of proactive monitoring is key for maintaining data reliability and reducing downtime due to broken pipelines.

Great question! While both ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) and ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) are data integration methods, the key difference lies in the order of operations. ETL transforms data before loading it into a data warehouse, whereas ELT loads raw data first and transforms it inside the warehouse. ELT has become more popular with the rise of cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery, which offer scalable storage and computing power. If you're working with large volumes of data, ELT might be the better fit for your data pipeline monitoring strategy.

If you're just starting out, look for someone with 'Full Data Stack' capabilities, like a Data Analyst with strong SQL and business acumen or a Data Engineer with analytics skills. This person can work closely with other teams to build initial pipelines and help shape your data platform. As your needs evolve, you can grow your team with more specialized roles.

Absolutely! Sifflet’s field-level data lineage tracking lets you trace data issues from BI dashboards all the way back to source systems. Its AI agent, Sage, even recalls past incidents to suggest likely causes, making root cause analysis faster and more accurate for data engineers and analysts alike.

We're excited to use this funding to accelerate product innovation, expand our North American presence, and grow our team. Our focus will be on enhancing AI-powered capabilities, improving data pipeline monitoring, and helping customers maintain data reliability at scale.
