Frequently asked questions
Can business users benefit from data observability too, or is it just for engineers?
Absolutely, business users benefit too! Sifflet's UI is built for both technical and non-technical teams. For example, our Chrome extension overlays on BI tools to show real-time metrics and data quality monitoring without needing to write SQL. It helps everyone from analysts to execs make decisions with confidence, knowing the data behind their dashboards is trustworthy.
What makes Sifflet different from other data observability tools?
Sifflet stands out as a metadata control plane that connects technical reliability with business context. Unlike point solutions, it offers AI-native automation, full data lineage tracking, and cross-functional accessibility, making it ideal for organizations that need to scale trust in their data across teams.
Why is data observability essential for building trusted data products?
Great question! Data observability is key because it helps ensure your data is reliable, transparent, and consistent. When you proactively monitor your data with an observability platform like Sifflet, you can catch issues early, maintain trust with your data consumers, and keep your data products running smoothly.
What should I look for in a data quality monitoring solution?
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.
Why is data distribution such an important part of data observability?
Great question! Data distribution gives you insight into the shape and spread of your data values, which traditional monitoring tools often miss. While volume, schema, and freshness checks tell you if the data is present and structured correctly, distribution monitoring helps you catch hidden issues like skewed categories or outlier spikes. It's a key component of any modern observability platform focused on data reliability.
How can data observability support better hiring decisions for data teams?
When you prioritize data observability, you're not just investing in tools, you're building a culture of transparency and accountability. This helps attract top-tier Data Engineers and Analysts who value high-quality pipelines and proactive monitoring. Embedding observability into your workflows also empowers your team with root cause analysis and pipeline health dashboards, helping them work more efficiently and effectively.
Can I monitor my BigQuery data with Sifflet?
Absolutely! Sifflet’s observability tools are fully compatible with Google BigQuery, so you can perform data quality monitoring, data lineage tracking, and anomaly detection right where your data lives.
How does the shift to poly cloud impact observability platforms?
The move toward poly cloud environments increases the complexity of monitoring, but observability platforms are evolving to unify insights across multiple cloud providers. This helps teams maintain SLA compliance, monitor ingestion latency, and ensure data reliability regardless of where workloads are running.
