Google BigQuery
Integrate Sifflet with BigQuery to monitor all table types, access field-level lineage, enrich metadata, and gain actionable insights for an optimized data observability strategy.




Metadata-based monitors and optimized queries
Sifflet leverages BigQuery's metadata APIs and relies on optimized queries, ensuring minimal costs and efficient monitor runs.


Usage and BigQuery metadata
Get detailed statistics about the usage of your BigQuery assets, in addition to various metadata (like tags, descriptions, and table sizes) retrieved directly from BigQuery.
Field-level lineage
Have a complete understanding of how data flows through your platform via field-level end-to-end lineage for BigQuery.


External table support
Sifflet can monitor external BigQuery tables to ensure the quality of data in other systems like Google Cloud BigTable and Google Cloud Storage

Frequently asked questions
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.
What role does root cause analysis play in metadata observability?
Root cause analysis is essential for resolving complex data issues quickly. Sifflet uses AI-driven root cause analysis to identify the exact source of problems across your metadata layer, whether it's schema incompatibility or catalog drift. This proactive approach helps maintain SLA compliance and reduces incident resolution time.
What kind of health scoring does Adaptavist use for their data assets?
Adaptavist built a platform health dashboard that scores each asset based on data freshness, quality, and reliability. This kind of data profiling helps them prioritize fixes, improve root cause analysis, and ensure continued trust in their analytics pipeline observability.
How is data volume different from data variety?
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.
What makes Sifflet's data catalog more useful for data discovery?
Sifflet's data catalog is enriched with metadata, schema versions, usage stats, and even health status indicators. This makes it easy for users to search, filter, and understand data assets in context. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with your data sources, so you always have the most up-to-date view of your data ecosystem.
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.
Why is metadata so important for modern data monitoring?
Great question! Metadata adds the context that traditional monitoring lacks. It helps you understand not just what failed, but also where, why, and who owns it. By layering in technical, operational, and business metadata, your data monitoring becomes smarter and more actionable—making it easier to maintain data quality and reliability across your stack.
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.
