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 can data observability support a strong data governance strategy?
Data observability complements data governance by continuously monitoring data pipelines for issues like data drift, freshness problems, or anomalies. With an observability platform like Sifflet, teams can proactively detect and resolve data quality issues, enforce data validation rules, and gain visibility into pipeline health. This real-time insight helps governance policies work in practice, not just on paper.
How does Sifflet support data pipeline monitoring at Carrefour?
Sifflet enables comprehensive data pipeline monitoring through features like monitoring-as-code and seamless integration with data lineage tracking and governance tools. This gives Carrefour full visibility into their pipeline health and helps ensure SLA compliance.
What is data lineage and why is it important for data observability?
Data lineage is the process of tracing data as it moves from source to destination, including all transformations along the way. It's a critical component of data observability because it helps teams understand dependencies, troubleshoot issues faster, and maintain data reliability across the entire pipeline.
How does data observability improve the value of a data catalog?
Data observability enhances a data catalog by adding continuous monitoring, data lineage tracking, and real-time alerts. This means organizations can not only find their data but also trust its accuracy, freshness, and consistency. By integrating observability tools, a catalog becomes part of a dynamic system that supports SLA compliance and proactive data governance.
How does Sifflet help with data discovery across different tools like Snowflake and BigQuery?
Great question! Sifflet acts as a unified observability platform that consolidates metadata from tools like Snowflake and BigQuery into one centralized Data Catalog. By surfacing tags, labels, and schema details, it makes data discovery and governance much easier for all stakeholders.
How does Sifflet help with data observability during the CI process?
Sifflet integrates directly with your CI pipelines on platforms like GitHub and GitLab to proactively surface issues before code is merged. By analyzing the impact of dbt model changes and running data quality monitors in testing environments, Sifflet ensures data reliability and minimizes production disruptions.
Who benefits from implementing a data observability platform like Sifflet?
Honestly, anyone who relies on data to make decisions—so pretty much everyone. Data engineers, BI teams, data scientists, RevOps, finance, and even executives all benefit. With Sifflet, teams get proactive alerts, root cause analysis, and cross-functional visibility. That means fewer surprises, faster resolutions, and more trust in the data that powers your business.
How does data quality monitoring help improve data reliability?
Data quality monitoring is essential for maintaining trust in your data. A strong observability platform should offer features like anomaly detection, data profiling, and data validation rules. These tools help identify issues early, so you can fix them before they impact downstream analytics. It’s all about making sure your data is accurate, timely, and reliable.
