Absolutely! With shared visibility into data flows and transformations, observability platforms foster better communication between data engineers, analysts, and business users. Everyone can see what's happening in the pipeline, which encourages ownership and teamwork around data reliability.

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.

This checklist is for anyone who relies on trustworthy data—from CDOs and analysts to DataOps teams and engineers. Whether you're focused on data governance, anomaly detection, or building resilient pipelines, the checklist gives you a clear path to choosing the right observability tools.

We prioritize user research and apply UX principles like Jacob’s Law to design familiar and intuitive workflows. This helps reduce friction for users working with tools like our Sifflet Insights plugin, which brings real-time metrics and data quality monitoring directly into BI dashboards like Looker and Tableau.

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.

Field-level lineage allows users to trace issues down to individual columns across tables, making it easier to pinpoint where a problem originated. This level of detail enhances root cause analysis and impact assessment, helping teams resolve incidents quickly and maintain trust in their data.

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.

Sifflet uses AI-powered dynamic monitors and data validation rules to automate data quality monitoring across your pipelines. It also integrates with tools like Snowflake and dbt to ensure data freshness checks and schema validations are embedded into your workflows without manual overhead.
