As data systems grow more complex with cloud infrastructure and distributed pipelines, simple monitoring isn't enough. Data observability platforms like Sifflet go further by offering data lineage tracking, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis. This helps teams not just detect issues, but truly understand and resolve them faster—saving time and avoiding costly outages.

Absolutely! Sifflet’s data lineage tracking gives you a clear view of how data flows and transforms across your systems. This level of transparency is crucial for root cause analysis and ensuring data governance standards are met.

By combining real-time metrics monitoring with proactive alerts and incident management workflows, Sifflet helps teams stay on top of SLA compliance. Users can track metrics freshness, detect anomalies, and take action before SLA breaches occur.

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.

Absolutely! With Sifflet's Data-Quality-as-Code (DQaC) v2 framework, you can define and manage thousands of monitors in YAML right from your IDE. This Everything-as-Code approach boosts automation and makes data quality monitoring scalable and developer-friendly.

Table-level lineage helps you understand how data flows through your systems, which is essential for data quality monitoring and data governance. It supports impact analysis, pipeline debugging, and compliance by showing how changes in upstream tables affect downstream assets.

SQL Table Tracer (STT) is a lightweight library that extracts table-level lineage from SQL queries. It plays a key role in data observability by identifying upstream and downstream tables, making it easier to understand data dependencies and track changes across your data pipelines.

At Sifflet, data security is built into the foundation of our data observability platform. We follow three core principles: least privilege, no storage, and single tenancy. This means we only use read-only access, never store your data, and isolate each customer’s environment to prevent cross-tenant access.
