Frequently asked questions
How can data lineage tracking help with root cause analysis?
Data lineage tracking shows how data flows through your systems and how different assets depend on each other. This is incredibly helpful for root cause analysis because it lets you trace issues back to their source quickly. With Sifflet’s lineage capabilities, you can understand both upstream and downstream impacts of a data incident, making it easier to resolve problems and prevent future ones.
How does Sifflet make setting up data quality monitoring easier?
Great question! With the launch of Data-Quality-as-Code v2, Sifflet has made it much easier to create and manage monitors at scale. Whether you prefer working programmatically or through the UI, our platform now offers smoother workflows and standardized threshold settings for more intuitive data quality monitoring.
How can organizations create a culture that supports data observability?
Fostering a data-driven culture starts with education and collaboration. Salma recommends training programs that boost data literacy and initiatives that involve all data stakeholders. This shared responsibility approach ensures better data governance and more effective data quality monitoring.
Why is data lineage so critical in a data observability strategy?
Data lineage is the backbone of any strong data observability strategy. It helps teams trace data issues to their source by showing how data flows from ingestion to dashboards and models. With lineage, you can assess the impact of changes, improve collaboration across teams, and resolve anomalies faster. It's especially powerful when combined with anomaly detection and real-time metrics for full visibility across your pipelines.
Why is data observability essential when treating data as a product?
Great question! When you treat data as a product, you're committing to delivering reliable, high-quality data to your consumers. Data observability ensures that issues like data drift, broken pipelines, or unexpected anomalies are caught early, so your data stays trustworthy and valuable. It's the foundation for data reliability and long-term success.
Does Sifflet store any of my company’s data?
No, Sifflet does not store your data. We designed our platform to discard any data previews immediately after display, and we only retain metadata like table and column names. This approach supports GDPR compliance and strengthens your overall data governance strategy.
Why is data observability becoming more important than just monitoring?
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.
What role does data lineage tracking play in managing complex dbt pipelines?
Data lineage tracking is essential when your dbt projects grow in size and complexity. Sifflet provides a unified, metadata-rich lineage graph that spans your entire data stack, helping you quickly perform root cause analysis and impact assessments. This visibility is crucial for maintaining trust and transparency in your data pipelines.
