We’re seeing a big shift where data consumers—like analysts and business users—are finally getting a seat at the table. That’s because data observability impacts everyone, not just engineers. When trust in data is operationalized, it boosts confidence across the business and turns data teams into value creators.

Yes, and that’s one of the things we’re most excited about! Sifflet empowers non-technical users to define custom monitoring rules and participate in data quality efforts without needing to write dbt code. It’s all part of building a culture of shared responsibility around data governance and observability.

Absolutely! By identifying all downstream assets affected by a dbt model change, Sifflet’s Impact Report makes it easier to trace issues back to their source, significantly speeding up root cause analysis and reducing incident resolution time.

Great question! At Sifflet, we're committed to making data observability insights available right where you work. That’s why we’ve expanded beyond our Chrome extension to integrate directly with popular Data Catalogs like Atlan, Alation, Castor, and Data Galaxy. This means BI users can access real-time metrics and data quality insights without ever leaving their workflow.

While a data catalog helps you find and understand your data, data observability ensures that the data you find is actually reliable. Observability tools like Sifflet monitor the health of your data pipelines in real time, using features like data freshness checks, anomaly detection, and data quality monitoring. Together, they give you both visibility and trust in your data.

Well-formatted queries are easier to debug, share, and maintain. This aligns with DataOps best practices and supports transparency in data pipelines, which is essential for consistent SLA compliance and proactive monitoring.

The checklist emphasizes the need for smart alerting, like dynamic thresholding and alert correlation, instead of just flooding your team with notifications. This focus helps reduce alert fatigue and ensures your team only gets notified when it really matters.

Sifflet is built to scale. It supports automated data quality monitoring across hundreds of assets, as seen with Carrefour Links monitoring over 800 data assets in 8+ countries. With dynamic thresholding, schema change detection, and real-time metrics, Sifflet ensures SLA compliance and consistent data reliability across complex ecosystems.
