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
Why is data lineage so critical in a data observability strategy?
Data lineage is the backbone of any strong data observability strategy. It helps teams trace data issues to their source by showing how data flows from ingestion to dashboards and models. With lineage, you can assess the impact of changes, improve collaboration across teams, and resolve anomalies faster. It's especially powerful when combined with anomaly detection and real-time metrics for full visibility across your pipelines.
Is Sifflet Insights easy to set up with my existing tools?
Yes, onboarding is seamless. You can quickly integrate Sifflet Insights with your existing BI tools and start receiving real-time metrics and alerts. It’s designed to enhance efficiency and support incident response automation without disrupting your current workflows.
How does Flow Stopper improve data reliability for engineering teams?
By integrating real-time data quality monitoring directly into your orchestration layer, Flow Stopper gives Data Engineers the ability to stop the flow when something looks off. This means fewer broken pipelines, better SLA compliance, and more time spent on innovation instead of firefighting.
Does Sifflet store any of my company’s data?
No, Sifflet does not store your data. We designed our platform to discard any data previews immediately after display, and we only retain metadata like table and column names. This approach supports GDPR compliance and strengthens your overall data governance strategy.
Why is a user-friendly interface important in an observability tool?
A user-friendly interface boosts adoption across teams and makes it easier to navigate complex datasets. For observability tools, especially those focused on data cataloging and data discovery, a clean UI enables faster insights and more efficient collaboration.
What’s new in Sifflet’s integration with dbt?
We’ve supercharged our dbt integration! Sifflet now offers deeper metadata visibility and powerful dbt impact analysis for both GitHub and GitLab. This helps you assess the downstream effects of model changes before deployment, boosting your confidence and control in data pipeline monitoring.
What’s the best way to manage a data catalog over time?
To manage a data catalog effectively, assign clear ownership through data stewards, enforce consistent naming conventions, and schedule regular metadata reviews. For even more impact, connect it with your observability platform to monitor data quality and lineage in real time, ensuring your catalog stays accurate and actionable.
Why is data freshness so important for data reliability?
Great question! Data freshness is a key part of data reliability because decisions are only as good as the data they're based on. If your data is outdated or delayed, it can lead to flawed insights and missed opportunities. That's why data freshness checks are a foundational element of any strong data observability strategy.
