Frequently asked questions

How is Sifflet rethinking root cause analysis in data observability?
Root cause analysis is a critical part of data reliability, and we’re making it smarter. Instead of manually sifting through logs or lineage graphs, Sifflet uses AI and metadata to automate root cause detection and suggest next steps. Our observability tools analyze query logs, pipeline dependencies, and usage patterns to surface the 'why' behind incidents — not just the 'what.' That means faster triage, quicker resolution, and fewer surprises downstream.
Why is data storage so important for data observability?
Great question! Data storage is the foundation of any data observability strategy. Without reliable storage, you can't trust the data you're monitoring or trace issues back to their source. At Sifflet, we believe observability starts with making sure your data is stored correctly, consistently, and accessibly. That way, your alerts, dashboards, and root cause analysis are built on solid ground.
How does Sifflet support SLA compliance and proactive monitoring?
With real-time metrics and intelligent alerting, Sifflet helps ensure SLA compliance by detecting issues early and offering root cause analysis. Its proactive monitoring features, like dynamic thresholding and auto-remediation suggestions, keep your data pipelines healthy and responsive.
How can I avoid breaking reports and dashboards during migration?
To prevent disruptions, it's essential to use data lineage tracking. This gives you visibility into how data flows through your systems, so you can assess downstream impacts before making changes. It’s a key part of data pipeline monitoring and helps maintain trust in your analytics.
What is data observability and why is it important for modern data teams?
Data observability is the ability to monitor, understand, and troubleshoot data health across the entire data stack. It's essential for modern data teams because it helps ensure data reliability, improves trust in analytics, and prevents costly issues caused by broken data pipelines or inaccurate dashboards. With the rise of complex infrastructures and real-time data usage, having a strong observability platform in place is no longer optional.
What is “data-quality-as-code”?

Data-quality-as-code (DQaC) allows you to programmatically define and enforce data quality rules using code. This ensures consistency, scalability, and better integration with CI/CD pipelines. Read more here to find out how to leverage it within Sifflet

How does Sifflet support reverse ETL and operational analytics?
Sifflet enhances reverse ETL workflows by providing data observability dashboards and real-time monitoring. Our platform ensures your data stays fresh, accurate, and actionable by enabling root cause analysis, data lineage tracking, and proactive anomaly detection across your entire pipeline.
Is data governance more about culture or tools?
It's a mix of both, but culture plays a big role. As Dan Power puts it, 'culture eats strategy for breakfast.' Even the best observability tools won't succeed without enterprise-wide data literacy and buy-in. That’s why training, user-friendly platforms, and fostering collaboration are just as important as the technology stack you choose.
