Great question! Data observability really took off in 2021 because it became clear that reliable data is critical for driving business decisions. As data pipelines became more complex, teams needed better ways to monitor data quality, freshness, and lineage. That’s where data observability platforms came in, helping companies ensure trust in their data by making it fully observable end-to-end.

For Adaptavist, observability culture means going beyond tools. It's about clear ownership of alerts, integrating data quality monitoring into sprints, and giving stakeholders ways to provide feedback directly in dashboards. They even track observability metrics to continuously improve their own observability practices.

Absolutely! Sifflet’s user-friendly interface and clear data asset indicators make it easy for business users to find and trust the right data. With features like visual data discovery and real-time metrics, it bridges the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders.

Absolutely! While we’ve built a powerful solution for Airbyte, our Declarative Lineage API is flexible enough to support other platforms like Kafka, Census, Hightouch, and Talend. You can use our sample Python scripts to integrate lineage from these tools and enhance your overall data observability strategy.

Flow Stopper enables early anomaly detection and integrates with your orchestrator to halt execution when issues are found. This makes it easier to perform root cause analysis before problems escalate and helps prevent incidents that could affect business-critical dashboards or KPIs.

Not quite. While data quality monitoring helps ensure individual datasets are accurate and consistent, data reliability goes further by ensuring your entire data system is dependable over time. That includes pipeline orchestration visibility, anomaly detection, and proactive monitoring. Pairing data quality with a robust observability platform gives you a more comprehensive approach to reliability.

Sifflet is integrating deeply with local development tools like dbt and the Sifflet CLI. Soon, you'll be able to define monitors directly in dbt YAML files and run them locally, enabling real-time metrics checks and anomaly detection before deployment, all from your development environment.

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.
