Frequently asked questions

What are the five technical pillars of data observability?

The five technical pillars are freshness, volume, schema, distribution, and lineage. These cover everything from whether your data is arriving on time to whether it still follows expected patterns. A strong observability tool like Sifflet monitors all five, providing real-time metrics and context so you can quickly detect and resolve issues before they cause downstream chaos.

How does data lineage tracking help with root cause analysis in data integration?

Data lineage tracking gives visibility into how data flows from source to destination, making it easier to pinpoint where issues originate. This is essential for root cause analysis, especially when dealing with complex integrations across multiple systems. At Sifflet, we see data lineage as a cornerstone of any observability platform.

How does Sifflet support both technical and business teams?

Sifflet is designed to bridge the gap between data engineers and business users. It combines powerful features like automated anomaly detection, data lineage, and context-rich alerting with a no-code interface that’s accessible to non-technical teams. This means everyone—from analysts to execs—can get real-time metrics and insights about data reliability without needing to dig through logs or write SQL. It’s observability that works across the org, not just for the data team.

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.

What kinds of alerts can trigger incidents in ServiceNow through Sifflet?

You can trigger incidents from any Sifflet alert, including data freshness checks, schema changes, and pipeline failures. This makes it easier to maintain SLA compliance and improve overall data reliability across your observability platform.

Why is data observability essential for building trusted data products?

Great question! Data observability is key because it helps ensure your data is reliable, transparent, and consistent. When you proactively monitor your data with an observability platform like Sifflet, you can catch issues early, maintain trust with your data consumers, and keep your data products running smoothly.

What are the main differences between ETL and ELT for data integration?

ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before storing it, while ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads raw data first, then transforms it. With modern cloud storage, ELT is often preferred for its flexibility and scalability. Whichever method you choose, pairing it with strong data pipeline monitoring ensures smooth operations.

What should I look for in a data quality monitoring solution?

You’ll want a solution that goes beyond basic checks like null values and schema validation. The best data quality monitoring tools use intelligent anomaly detection, dynamic thresholding, and auto-generated rules based on data profiling. They adapt as your data evolves and scale effortlessly across thousands of tables. This way, your team can confidently trust the data without spending hours writing manual validation rules.
