To manage a data catalog effectively, assign clear ownership through data stewards, enforce consistent naming conventions, and schedule regular metadata reviews. For even more impact, connect it with your observability platform to monitor data quality and lineage in real time, ensuring your catalog stays accurate and actionable.

Absolutely! Our new dbt tab surfaces custom metadata defined in your dbt models, which you can leverage for better data governance and data profiling. It’s all about giving you the flexibility to manage your data assets exactly the way you need.

Sifflet simplifies data volume monitoring with plug-and-play integrations, AI-powered baselining, and unified observability dashboards. It automatically detects anomalies, connects them to business impact, and provides real-time alerts. Whether you're using Snowflake, BigQuery, or Kafka, Sifflet helps you stay ahead of data reliability issues with proactive monitoring and alerting.

Absolutely! While dbt is fantastic for defining tests, Sifflet takes it further with advanced data drift detection and anomaly detection. Our platform uses intelligent monitoring templates that adapt to your data’s behavior, so you can spot unexpected changes like missing rows or unusual values without setting manual thresholds.

Popular ingestion tools like Fivetran, Stitch, and Apache Kafka integrate well with cloud data observability platforms. They offer strong support for telemetry instrumentation, real-time ingestion, and schema registry integration. Pairing them with observability tools ensures your data stays reliable and actionable across your entire stack.

Full Data Stack Observability means having complete visibility into every layer of your data pipeline, from ingestion to business intelligence tools. At Sifflet, our observability platform collects signals across your entire stack, enabling anomaly detection, data lineage tracking, and real-time metrics collection. This approach helps teams ensure data reliability and reduce time spent firefighting issues.

A metadata control plane brings together technical metrics and business context by leveraging metadata across your stack. This enables better decision-making, reduces alert fatigue, and supports SLA compliance by giving teams a single source of truth for pipeline health and data reliability.

The move from ETL to ELT allows organizations to load raw data into the warehouse first and transform it later, making pipeline management more flexible and cost-effective. However, it also increases the need for data pipeline monitoring to ensure that transformations happen correctly and on time. Observability tools help track ingestion latency, transformation success, and data drift detection to keep your pipelines healthy.
