Frequently asked questions

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.

Why is data observability becoming so important for businesses in 2025?

Great question! As Salma Bakouk shared in our recent webinar, data observability is critical because it builds trust and reliability across your data ecosystem. With poor data quality costing companies an average of $13 million annually, having a strong observability platform helps teams proactively detect issues, ensure data freshness, and align analytics efforts with business goals.

How does Sifflet enhance data lineage tracking for dbt projects?

Sifflet enriches your data lineage tracking by visually mapping out your dbt models and how they connect across different projects. This is especially useful for teams managing multiple dbt repositories, as Sifflet brings everything together into a clear, centralized lineage view that supports root cause analysis and proactive monitoring.

How does data lineage enhance data observability?

Data lineage adds context to data observability by linking alerts to their root cause. For example, if a metric suddenly drops, lineage helps trace it back to a delayed ingestion or schema change. This speeds up incident resolution and strengthens anomaly detection. Platforms like Sifflet combine lineage with real-time metrics and data freshness checks to provide a complete view of pipeline health.

How does Sifflet's Data Sharing feature help with enforcing data governance policies?

Great question! Sifflet's Data Sharing provides access to rich metadata about your data assets, including tags, owners, and monitor configurations. By making this available in your own data warehouse, you can set up automated checks to ensure compliance with your governance standards. It's a powerful way to implement scalable data governance and reduce manual audits using our observability platform.

How does Sifflet support diversity and innovation in the data observability space?

Diversity and innovation are core values at Sifflet. We believe that a diverse team brings a wider range of perspectives, which leads to more creative solutions in areas like cloud data observability and predictive analytics monitoring. Our culture encourages experimentation and continuous learning, making it a great place to grow.

Can Sifflet help with data quality monitoring directly from the Data Catalog?

Absolutely! Sifflet integrates data quality monitoring into its Data Catalog, allowing users to define and view data quality checks right alongside asset metadata. This gives teams real-time insights into data reliability and helps build trust in the assets they’re using for decision-making.

Why is embedding observability tools at the orchestration level important?

Embedding observability tools like Flow Stopper at the orchestration level gives teams visibility into pipeline health before data hits production. This kind of proactive monitoring is key for maintaining data reliability and reducing downtime due to broken pipelines.
