Shippeo tracks critical operational data like order volume, GPS positions, and platform activity. With Sifflet, they monitor ingestion latency and data freshness to ensure that metrics powering dashboards and customer reports are always up to date.

A Trust OS is an intelligent metadata layer where data contracts are enriched with real-time observability signals. It combines lineage awareness, semantic context, and predictive validation to ensure data reliability at scale. This approach elevates data governance by embedding trust directly into the technical fabric of your data pipelines, not just documentation.

Sifflet is integrating deeply with local development tools like dbt and the Sifflet CLI. Soon, you'll be able to define monitors directly in dbt YAML files and run them locally, enabling real-time metrics checks and anomaly detection before deployment, all from your development environment.

Data observability is the ability to monitor, understand, and troubleshoot data systems using real-time metrics and contextual insights. It's important because it helps teams detect and resolve issues quickly, ensuring data reliability and reducing the risk of bad data impacting business decisions.

After adopting Sifflet’s observability platform, Hypebeast saw a 204% improvement in data quality, a 178% increase in data product delivery, and a 75% boost in ad hoc request speed. These gains translated into faster, more reliable insights and better collaboration across departments.

Some key challenges include ensuring data privacy and security, maintaining strong data governance, and investing in data optimization. These areas require robust monitoring and compliance tools. Leveraging an observability platform can help address these issues by providing visibility into data lineage, quality, and pipeline performance.

Real-time alerts are crucial for staying on top of potential issues before they escalate. By setting up threshold-based alerts and receiving notifications through channels like Slack or email, teams can act quickly to resolve problems. This proactive approach helps maintain SLA compliance and keeps your data operations running smoothly.

Stakeholder trust is crucial because inconsistent or unreliable data can lead to poor decisions and reduced adoption of data-driven practices. You can protect this trust with strong data quality monitoring, real-time metrics, and consistent reporting. Data observability tools help by alerting teams to issues before they impact dashboards or reports, ensuring transparency and reliability.
