A great distinction! Storage platforms hold your actual data, while a data catalog helps you understand what that data means. Sifflet connects both, so when we detect an anomaly, the catalog tells you what business process is affected and who should be notified. It’s how we turn raw telemetry into actionable insights for better incident response automation and SLA compliance.

Data lineage tracking is key to understanding how data flows through your systems. It helps teams trace anomalies back to their source, identify downstream dependencies, and improve collaboration across departments. This visibility is crucial for maintaining data pipeline monitoring and SLA compliance.

Modern platforms like Snowflake and Amazon S3 expose rich metadata and access patterns that observability tools can monitor. For example, Sifflet integrates with Snowflake to track schema changes, data freshness, and query patterns, while S3 integration enables us to monitor ingestion latency and file structure changes. These capabilities are key for real-time metrics and data quality monitoring.

Yes, Sifflet is designed to be accessible for both business stakeholders and data engineers. It offers intuitive interfaces for no-code monitor creation, context-rich alerts, and field-level data lineage tracking. This democratizes data quality monitoring and helps teams across the organization stay aligned on data health and pipeline performance.

Data governance is a framework of policies, roles, and processes that ensure data is accurate, secure, and used responsibly across an organization. It brings clarity and accountability to data management, helping teams trust the data they use, stay compliant with regulations, and make confident decisions. When paired with data observability tools, governance ensures data remains reliable and actionable at scale.

We're excited to use this funding to accelerate product innovation, expand our North American presence, and grow our team. Our focus will be on enhancing AI-powered capabilities, improving data pipeline monitoring, and helping customers maintain data reliability at scale.

Clear data ownership is a game changer for data quality monitoring. When each data product has a defined owner, it’s easier to resolve issues quickly, collaborate across teams, and build a strong data culture that values accountability and trust.

Great question! With the launch of Data-Quality-as-Code v2, Sifflet has made it much easier to create and manage monitors at scale. Whether you prefer working programmatically or through the UI, our platform now offers smoother workflows and standardized threshold settings for more intuitive data quality monitoring.
