MCP empowers LLMs to use structured inputs like logs and pipeline metadata, making it easier to trace issues across multiple steps. This structured interaction helps streamline root cause analysis, especially in complex environments where traditional observability tools might fall short. At Sifflet, we’re integrating MCP to enhance how our platform surfaces and explains data incidents.

Retailers can track a wide range of metrics such as inventory health, stock obsolescence risks, carrying costs, and dynamic safety stock levels. These observability dashboards offer time-series analysis and predictive insights that support better decision-making and improve overall data reliability.

SLIs are a fantastic way to measure the health and performance of your data products. By tracking metrics like data freshness, anomaly detection, and real-time alerts, you can ensure your data meets expectations and stays aligned with your team’s SLA compliance goals.

Shippeo tracks critical operational data like order volume, GPS positions, and platform activity. With Sifflet, they monitor ingestion latency and data freshness to ensure that metrics powering dashboards and customer reports are always up to date.

Absolutely! Sifflet is designed to integrate seamlessly with your current stack. We support a wide range of tools including Airflow, Snowflake, AWS Glue, and more. Our goal is to provide complete pipeline orchestration visibility and data freshness checks, all from one intuitive interface.

Great question! Data volume is about how much data you're receiving, while data variety refers to the different types and formats of data sources. For example, a sudden drop in appointment data is a volume issue, while a new file format causing schema mismatches is a variety issue. Observability tools help you monitor both dimensions to maintain healthy pipelines.

Absolutely. Sifflet’s data quality monitoring automatically flags unforeseen values in categorical fields, which is a common issue for analytics engineers. This helps prevent silent errors in your data pipelines and supports better SLA compliance across your analytics workflows.

Combining data catalogs with data observability tools creates a holistic approach to managing data assets. While catalogs help users discover and understand data, observability tools ensure that data is accurate, timely, and reliable. This integration supports better decision-making, improves data reliability, and strengthens overall data governance.
