Great question! Data volume is about how much data you're receiving, while data variety refers to the different types and formats of data sources. For example, a sudden drop in appointment data is a volume issue, while a new file format causing schema mismatches is a variety issue. Observability tools help you monitor both dimensions to maintain healthy pipelines.

Shippeo uses Sifflet’s data observability platform to monitor every stage of their data pipelines. By implementing raw data monitoring, intermediate layer checks, and front-facing metric validation, they catch issues early and maintain trust in their real-time supply chain visibility tools.

Absolutely! Our team will be offering hands-on demos that showcase how our observability tools integrate into your workflows. From real-time metrics to data quality monitoring, you’ll get a full picture of how Sifflet boosts data reliability across your stack.

Sifflet's data catalog is enriched with metadata, schema versions, usage stats, and even health status indicators. This makes it easy for users to search, filter, and understand data assets in context. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with your data sources, so you always have the most up-to-date view of your data ecosystem.

You’ll now find key dbt metadata like the last execution timestamp and status directly within the dataset catalog and asset pages. This makes real-time metrics and pipeline health monitoring more accessible and actionable across your observability platform.

Setting clear priorities and using a centralized pipeline orchestration visibility tool can help manage expectations across the organization. When stakeholders understand what the team can deliver and when, it builds trust and reduces pressure on your team, leading to a healthier and happier work environment.

Accessibility is a core part of our design philosophy. We ensure that key indicators in our observability tools, such as data freshness checks or pipeline health statuses, are communicated using both color and iconography. This approach supports inclusive experiences for users with visual impairments, including color blindness.

Sentinel, Sage, and Forge are Sifflet’s new AI agents designed to supercharge your data observability efforts. Sentinel proactively recommends monitoring strategies, Sage accelerates root cause analysis by remembering system history, and Forge guides your team with actionable fixes. Together, they help teams reduce alert fatigue and improve data reliability at scale.
