Data observability provides visibility into your pipelines by tracking key metrics like row counts, duplicates, and ingestion patterns. It acts as an early warning system, helping teams catch volume anomalies before they affect dashboards or ML models. By using a robust observability platform, you can ensure that your data is consistently complete and trustworthy.

Absolutely. Sifflet is designed to be accessible to everyone. With an intuitive UI and our AI Assistant, even non-technical users can set up data quality monitors, track real-time metrics, and contribute to data governance without writing a line of code.

You’ll want a solution that goes beyond basic checks like null values and schema validation. The best data quality monitoring tools use intelligent anomaly detection, dynamic thresholding, and auto-generated rules based on data profiling. They adapt as your data evolves and scale effortlessly across thousands of tables. This way, your team can confidently trust the data without spending hours writing manual validation rules.

One major challenge was shifting the company culture from being data-aware to truly data-driven. Technically, integrating new observability tools into existing infrastructures and managing the initial investment in time and resources also posed hurdles.

Anomaly detection helps identify unexpected changes in data that might signal contract violations or semantic drift. By integrating predictive analytics monitoring and dynamic thresholding into your observability platform, you can catch issues before they break dashboards or compromise AI models. It’s a core feature of a resilient, intelligent metadata layer.

Absolutely! We know that data patterns can shift during holidays or unique business dates. That’s why Sifflet now lets you exclude these dates from alerts by selecting from common calendars or customizing your own. This helps reduce alert fatigue and improves the accuracy of anomaly detection across your data pipelines.

An end-to-end data platform includes layers for ingestion, storage, transformation, orchestration, governance, observability, and analytics. Each part plays a role in making data reliable and actionable. For example, data lineage tracking and real-time metrics collection help ensure transparency and performance across the pipeline.
