Sifflet supports data governance by allowing you to classify assets with tags and labels, define business terms in a shared glossary, and track data lineage. These features help ensure consistent definitions and safe handling of sensitive data across your stack.

Sifflet is designed for both technical and non-technical users, offering no-code monitors, natural-language setup, and cross-persona alerts. This means analysts, data scientists, and executives can all engage with data quality monitoring without needing engineering support, making it a truly inclusive observability platform.

When you click on a Fivetran connector node in the lineage, you’ll see key metadata like source and destination, sync frequency, current status, and the timestamp of the latest sync. This complements Sifflet’s existing metadata like owner and last refresh for complete context.

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.

You can use data profiling and anomaly detection tools to compare datasets before and after migration. These features are often built into modern data observability platforms and help you validate that nothing critical was lost or changed during the move.

We’re excited about what’s ahead. Soon, the Sifflet AI Assistant will allow non-technical users to create monitors using natural language, expand monitoring coverage automatically, and provide deeper insights into resource utilization and capacity planning to support scalable data observability.

Data observability is crucial no matter which integration method you use. With ETL or ELT, you're moving and transforming data across multiple systems, which can introduce errors or delays. An observability platform like Sifflet helps you track data freshness, detect anomalies, and ensure SLA compliance across your pipelines. This means fewer surprises, faster root cause analysis, and more reliable data for your business teams.

You can find the Sifflet team at Booth Y640 during Big Data LDN on September 18-19. Stop by to learn more about our data observability platform and how we’re helping organizations like the BBC and Penguin Random House improve their data reliability.
