Great question! Data monitoring is like your car's dashboard—it alerts you when something goes wrong, like a failed pipeline or a missing dataset. Data observability, on the other hand, is like being the driver. It gives you a full understanding of how your data behaves, where it comes from, and how issues impact downstream systems. At Sifflet, we believe in going beyond alerts to deliver true data observability across your entire stack.

As data pipelines grow more complex, data observability provides the visibility needed to monitor and troubleshoot issues across the full stack. By adopting a robust observability platform, teams can detect anomalies, ensure SLA compliance, and maintain data reliability without relying on manual checks or reactive fixes.

Sifflet centralizes documentation for all your data assets, including DAGs, models, and dashboards. This makes it easier for teams to search, explore dependencies, and maintain strong data governance practices.

The Universal Connector lets you integrate Sifflet with any tool in your stack using YAML and API endpoints. It enables full-stack data pipeline monitoring and data lineage tracking, even for tools Sifflet doesn’t natively support, offering a more complete view of your observability workflows.

With Sifflet and dbt working together, you get real-time alerts delivered straight to your favorite tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email. Whether a dbt test fails or a data anomaly is detected, your team will be notified immediately, helping you respond quickly and maintain data quality monitoring at all times.

Yes, definitely! The Sifflet and Firebolt integration supports strong data governance and boosts data reliability by enabling data profiling, schema monitoring, and automated validation rules. This ensures your data remains trustworthy and compliant.

If your team struggles with delayed dashboards, inconsistent metrics, or unclear data lineage, it's likely time to invest in a data observability solution. At Sifflet, we even created a simple diagnostic to help you assess your data temperature. Whether you're in a 'slow burn' or a 'five alarm fire' state, we can help you improve data reliability and pipeline health.

Sifflet enables real-time metrics and data freshness checks that surface anomalies before they escalate. With features like alerting, lineage tracking, and pre-prod validation, teams at Adaptavist can spot and fix problems early, reducing surprise outages and improving SLA compliance.
