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.

Sifflet’s Data Catalog supports data governance by surfacing labels and tags, enabling classification of data assets, and linking business glossary terms for standardized definitions. This structured approach helps maintain compliance, manage costs, and ensure sensitive data is handled responsibly.

Data observability plays a key role in SLA compliance by detecting issues like ingestion latency, schema changes, or data drift before they impact downstream users. With proper data quality monitoring and real-time metrics, you can catch problems early and keep your dashboards and reports reliable.

Great question! In static mode, Sifflet checks whether data has arrived during a specific time slot and alerts you if it hasn’t. In dynamic mode, our system learns your data arrival patterns over time and only sends alerts when something truly unexpected happens. This helps reduce alert fatigue while maintaining high standards for data quality monitoring.

An end-to-end data platform includes layers for ingestion, storage, transformation, orchestration, governance, observability, and analytics. Each part plays a role in making data reliable and actionable. For example, data lineage tracking and real-time metrics collection help ensure transparency and performance across the pipeline.

The earlier, the better. Building good habits like CI/CD, code reviews, and clear documentation from the start helps prevent data issues down the line. Implementing telemetry instrumentation and automated data validation rules early on can significantly improve data pipeline monitoring and support long-term SLA compliance.

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.

A user-friendly interface boosts adoption across teams and makes it easier to navigate complex datasets. For observability tools, especially those focused on data cataloging and data discovery, a clean UI enables faster insights and more efficient collaboration.
