Diversity and innovation are core values at Sifflet. We believe that a diverse team brings a wider range of perspectives, which leads to more creative solutions in areas like cloud data observability and predictive analytics monitoring. Our culture encourages experimentation and continuous learning, making it a great place to grow.

Absolutely! Sifflet integrates data quality monitoring into its Data Catalog, allowing users to define and view data quality checks right alongside asset metadata. This gives teams real-time insights into data reliability and helps build trust in the assets they’re using for decision-making.

A modern data stack typically includes tools for ingestion, warehousing, transformation and business intelligence. For example, you might use Fivetran for ingestion, Snowflake for warehousing, dbt for transformation and Looker for analytics. Investing in the right observability tools across this stack is key to maintaining data reliability and enabling real-time metrics that support smart, data-driven decisions.

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.

Batch ingestion processes data in chunks at scheduled intervals, making it ideal for non-urgent tasks like overnight reporting. Real-time ingestion, on the other hand, handles streaming data as it arrives, which is perfect for use cases like fraud detection or live dashboards. If you're focused on streaming data monitoring or real-time alerts, real-time ingestion is the way to go.

Great question! Data observability goes beyond traditional data monitoring by not only detecting when something breaks in your data pipelines, but also understanding why it matters. While monitoring might tell you a pipeline failed, data observability connects that failure to business impact—like whether your CFO’s dashboard is now showing outdated numbers. It's about trust, context, and actionability.

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.

The five technical pillars are freshness, volume, schema, distribution, and lineage. These cover everything from whether your data is arriving on time to whether it still follows expected patterns. A strong observability tool like Sifflet monitors all five, providing real-time metrics and context so you can quickly detect and resolve issues before they cause downstream chaos.
