Executive sponsorship is essential for scaling data governance beyond grassroots efforts. As organizations mature, top-down support ensures proper budget allocation for observability tools, data pipeline monitoring, and team resources. When leaders are personally invested, it helps shift the mindset from reactive fixes to proactive data quality and governance practices.

Sifflet enriches your data lineage tracking by visually mapping out your dbt models and how they connect across different projects. This is especially useful for teams managing multiple dbt repositories, as Sifflet brings everything together into a clear, centralized lineage view that supports root cause analysis and proactive monitoring.

If you're just starting out, look for someone with 'Full Data Stack' capabilities, like a Data Analyst with strong SQL and business acumen or a Data Engineer with analytics skills. This person can work closely with other teams to build initial pipelines and help shape your data platform. As your needs evolve, you can grow your team with more specialized roles.

Sifflet makes data quality monitoring scalable with features like auto-coverage, which automatically generates monitors across your datasets. Whether you're working with Snowflake, BigQuery, or other platforms, you can quickly reach high monitoring coverage and get real-time alerts via Slack, email, or MS Teams to ensure data reliability.

We're excited because MCP allows us to build intelligent, context-aware agents that go beyond alerts. With MCP, our observability tools can now support real-time metrics analysis, dynamic thresholding, and even automated remediation. It’s a huge step forward in delivering reliable and scalable data observability.

Absolutely! Sifflet was built with scalability in mind. Whether you're working with batch data observability or streaming data monitoring, our platform supports distributed systems observability and is designed to grow with multi-team, multi-region organizations.

Yes! While it currently supports GitHub and GitLab, Sifflet is actively working on bringing dbt Impact Analysis to Bitbucket. This expansion ensures broader coverage and supports more teams in achieving better data governance and observability.

Traditional data catalogs focus mainly on metadata management, but they don't actively assess data quality or track changes in real time. As data environments grow more complex, teams need more than just an inventory. They need data observability tools that provide real-time metrics, anomaly detection, and data quality monitoring to ensure reliable decision-making.
