Frequently asked questions

Can observability tools help with GDPR-related incident response?

Absolutely! Observability tools can support GDPR compliance by enabling faster incident response automation. If there's a data breach, you need to notify users and authorities within 72 hours. Real-time alerts, telemetry instrumentation, and logs management help your team detect issues quickly, understand the impact, and take action to stay compliant.

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 does it mean to treat data as a product?

Treating data as a product means prioritizing its reliability, usability, and trustworthiness—just like you would with any customer-facing product. This mindset shift is driving the need for observability platforms that support data governance, real-time metrics, and proactive monitoring across the entire data lifecycle.

Can non-technical users benefit from Sifflet’s data observability platform?

Absolutely. Sifflet is designed to be accessible to everyone. With an intuitive UI and our AI Assistant, even non-technical users can set up data quality monitors, track real-time metrics, and contribute to data governance without writing a line of code.

Can I use custom dbt metadata for data governance in Sifflet?

Absolutely! Our new dbt tab surfaces custom metadata defined in your dbt models, which you can leverage for better data governance and data profiling. It’s all about giving you the flexibility to manage your data assets exactly the way you need.

How can observability platforms help with compliance and audit logging?

Observability platforms like Sifflet support compliance monitoring by tracking who accessed what data, when, and how. We help teams meet GDPR, NERC CIP, and other regulatory requirements through audit logging, data governance tools, and lineage visibility. It’s all about making sure your data is not just stored safely but also traceable and verifiable.

What makes Sifflet's approach to data observability different from other tools?

Sifflet focuses on business-context aware observability. Instead of just tracking technical metrics like schema changes or row counts, it connects data health to business impact. This helps teams understand not only what broke, but why it matters and who needs to be informed, making observability tools more actionable and aligned with business goals.

Is Datadog a good fit for teams focused on data reliability and governance?

Datadog is a strong choice for infrastructure and system observability, but it may not be the best fit for teams focused on data reliability and data governance. While it offers some data quality monitoring through Metaplane, it lacks the business context and advanced data lineage tracking needed to ensure trust in your analytics. For those priorities, a dedicated data observability platform like Sifflet is better equipped.
