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 help with data lineage tracking?
Sifflet offers detailed data lineage tracking at both the table and field level. You can easily trace data upstream and downstream, which helps avoid unexpected issues when making changes. This transparency is key for data governance and ensuring trust in your analytics pipeline.
What are some key benefits of using an observability platform like Sifflet?
Using an observability platform like Sifflet brings several benefits: real-time anomaly detection, proactive incident management, improved SLA compliance, and better data governance. By combining metrics, metadata, and lineage, we help teams move from reactive data quality monitoring to proactive, scalable observability that supports reliable, data-driven decisions.
What role does real-time data play in modern analytics pipelines?
Real-time data is becoming a game-changer for analytics, especially in use cases like fraud detection and personalized recommendations. Streaming data monitoring and real-time metrics collection are essential to harness this data effectively, ensuring that insights are both timely and actionable.
What does 'agentic observability' mean and why does it matter?
Agentic observability is our vision for the future — where observability platforms don’t just monitor, they act. Think of it as moving from real-time alerts to intelligent copilots. With features like auto-remediation, dynamic thresholding, and incident response automation, Sifflet is building systems that can detect issues, assess impact, and even resolve known problems on their own. It’s a huge step toward self-healing pipelines and truly proactive data operations.
Can I use Sifflet to detect bad-quality data in my Airflow pipelines?
Absolutely! With Sifflet’s data quality monitoring integrated into Airflow DAGs, you can detect and isolate bad-quality data before it impacts downstream processes. This helps maintain high data reliability and supports SLA compliance.
Is this integration useful for teams focused on data governance and compliance?
Yes, it really is! With enhanced lineage and metadata tracking from source to destination, the Fivetran integration supports better data governance. It helps ensure transparency, traceability, and SLA compliance across your data ecosystem.
What makes Sifflet different from other data observability tools?
Sifflet stands out as a metadata control plane that connects technical reliability with business context. Unlike point solutions, it offers AI-native automation, full data lineage tracking, and cross-functional accessibility, making it ideal for organizations that need to scale trust in their data across teams.
How can I detect silent failures in my data pipelines before they cause damage?
Silent failures are tricky, but with the right data observability tools, you can catch them early. Look for platforms that support real-time alerts, schema registry integration, and dynamic thresholding. These features help you monitor for unexpected changes, missing data, or drift in your pipelines. Sifflet, for example, offers anomaly detection and root cause analysis that help you uncover and fix issues before they impact your business.
