DATA OBSERVABILITY ON SNOWFLAKE

Launch Enterprise-Grade Observability on Snowflake Now

The Snowflake Observability Imperative

Snowflake teams are scaling workloads, AI initiatives, and governance programs - but unreliable data creates blind spots that slow delivery and erode trust.

Incidents Cascade Faster than Teams Can Respond

One failed task can ripple across domains and downstream workflows,
delaying insights, increasing MTTR, and draining engineering cycles.

Hidden Blind Spots Stall AI Readiness

Snowflake customers often have quality issues buried in tables, tasks, and pipelines but without visibility, issues surface only when dashboards or models break.

Procurement Delays Are the Costliest Risk of All

By the time observability is approved, incidents and trust debt have already accumulated. What Snowflake teams need is a way to deploy observability now, not in Q2.

Why Sifflet stands out on Snowflake

If you want reliability, visibility and control inside Snowflake, these use cases show exactly where Sifflet gives you an edge.

USE CASE #1

Detect issues inside Snowflake before they spread

The challenge: Data issues inside Snowflake often surface too late, after they hit dashboards or AI workloads. Teams refresh, guess, and lose hours hunting for the source.

The Sifflet edge: Sifflet monitors freshness, volume, schema and key metrics directly on Snowflake, flags anomalies fast, and ranks them by business impact so teams fix what matters first.

USE CASE #2

Understand your full data flow across Snowflake

The challenge: Multiple pipelines feed Snowflake, which makes it hard to see how tables are connected, what depends on what, and what breaks downstream when an upstream job fails.

The Sifflet edge: Sifflet maps lineage across sources, transformations and consumers with table and field level detail, giving clear visibility on upstream and downstream impact in one place.

USE CASE #3

Cut the noise and reduce alert fatigue

The challenge: Teams drown under alerts from schema changes, volume drops and late tables, and end up ignoring everything. Critical issues slip through.

The Sifflet edge: Sifflet scores alerts using context from usage and business priority, filters noise, and highlights only the issues that deserve attention so teams stay focused and efficient.

Frequently asked questions

Why is table-level lineage important for data quality monitoring and governance?
Table-level lineage helps you understand how data flows through your systems, which is essential for data quality monitoring and data governance. It supports impact analysis, pipeline debugging, and compliance by showing how changes in upstream tables affect downstream assets.
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 role does data pipeline monitoring play in Dailymotion’s delivery optimization?
By rebuilding their pipelines with strong data pipeline monitoring, Dailymotion reduced storage costs, improved performance, and ensured consistent access to delivery data. This helped eliminate data sprawl and created a single source of truth for operational teams.
Is data observability relevant for small businesses?

Yes! While smaller organizations may have fewer data pipelines, ensuring data quality and reliability is equally important for making accurate decisions and scaling effectively. What really matters is the data stack maturity and volume of data. Take our test here to find out if you really need data observability.

What are some of the latest technologies integrated into Sifflet's observability tools?
We've been exploring and integrating a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including dynamic thresholding for anomaly detection, data profiling tools, and telemetry instrumentation. These tools help enhance our pipeline health dashboard and improve transparency in data pipelines.
What role does data ownership play in data quality monitoring?
Clear data ownership is a game changer for data quality monitoring. When each data product has a defined owner, it’s easier to resolve issues quickly, collaborate across teams, and build a strong data culture that values accountability and trust.
Can SQL Table Tracer be used to improve incident response and debugging?
Absolutely! By clearly mapping upstream and downstream table relationships, SQL Table Tracer helps teams quickly trace issues back to their source. This accelerates root cause analysis and supports faster, more effective incident response workflows in any observability platform.
What can I expect from Sifflet at Big Data Paris 2024?
We're so excited to welcome you at Booth #D15 on October 15 and 16! You’ll get to experience live demos of our latest data observability features, hear real client stories like Saint-Gobain’s, and explore how Sifflet helps improve data reliability and streamline data pipeline monitoring.
