Frequently asked questions

How does Sifflet help teams improve data accessibility across the organization?
Great question! Sifflet makes data accessibility a breeze by offering intuitive search features and AI-generated metadata, so both technical and non-technical users can easily find and understand the data they need. This helps break down silos and supports better collaboration, which is a key component of effective data observability.
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 practical steps can companies take to build a data-driven culture?
To build a data-driven culture, start by investing in data literacy, aligning goals across teams, and adopting observability tools that support proactive monitoring. Platforms with features like metrics collection, telemetry instrumentation, and real-time alerts can help ensure data reliability and build trust in your analytics.
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.
How does Sifflet support root cause analysis when a deviation is detected?
Sifflet combines distribution deviation monitoring with field-level data lineage tracking. This means when an anomaly is detected, you can quickly trace it back to the source and resolve it efficiently. It’s a huge time-saver for teams managing complex data pipeline monitoring.
Why is data observability becoming essential for modern data teams?
As data pipelines grow more complex, data observability provides the visibility needed to monitor and troubleshoot issues across the full stack. By adopting a robust observability platform, teams can detect anomalies, ensure SLA compliance, and maintain data reliability without relying on manual checks or reactive fixes.
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

What exactly is data observability, and how is it different from traditional data monitoring?
Great question! Data observability goes beyond traditional data monitoring by not only detecting when something breaks in your data pipelines, but also understanding why it matters. While monitoring might tell you a pipeline failed, data observability connects that failure to business impact—like whether your CFO’s dashboard is now showing outdated numbers. It's about trust, context, and actionability.
