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 a centralized Data Catalog important for data reliability and SLA compliance?
A centralized Data Catalog like Sifflet’s plays a key role in ensuring data reliability and SLA compliance by offering visibility into asset health, surfacing incident alerts, and providing real-time metrics. This empowers teams to monitor data pipelines proactively and meet service level expectations more consistently.
How does Sifflet maintain visual and interaction consistency across its observability platform?
We use a reusable component library based on atomic design principles, along with UX writing guidelines to ensure consistent terminology. This helps users quickly understand telemetry instrumentation, metrics collection, and incident response workflows without needing to relearn interactions across different parts of the platform.
Can I use Sifflet to detect issues in my dbt models before they impact downstream dashboards?
Absolutely! Sifflet's real-time anomaly detection and full data lineage tracking make it easy to catch issues in your dbt models early. This proactive approach helps prevent broken dashboards and ensures data reliability across your analytics pipeline.
Why is technology critical to scaling data governance across teams?
Technology automates key governance tasks such as data classification, access control, and telemetry instrumentation. With the right tools, like a data observability platform, organizations can enforce policies at scale, detect anomalies automatically, and integrate governance into daily workflows. This reduces manual effort and ensures governance grows with the business.
What role does data quality monitoring play in a successful data management strategy?
Data quality monitoring is essential for maintaining the integrity of your data assets. It helps catch issues like missing values, inconsistencies, and outdated information before they impact business decisions. Combined with data observability, it ensures that your data catalog reflects trustworthy, high-quality data across the pipeline.
Can I define data quality monitors as code using Sifflet?
Absolutely! With Sifflet's Data-Quality-as-Code (DQaC) v2 framework, you can define and manage thousands of monitors in YAML right from your IDE. This Everything-as-Code approach boosts automation and makes data quality monitoring scalable and developer-friendly.
What role does Sifflet play in Etam’s data governance efforts?
Sifflet supports Etam by embedding data governance into their workflows through automated monitoring, anomaly detection, and data lineage tracking. This gives the team better visibility into their data pipelines and helps them troubleshoot issues quickly without slowing down innovation.
How do Service Level Indicators (SLIs) help improve data product reliability?
SLIs are a fantastic way to measure the health and performance of your data products. By tracking metrics like data freshness, anomaly detection, and real-time alerts, you can ensure your data meets expectations and stays aligned with your team’s SLA compliance goals.
