Redshift
Integrate Sifflet with Redshift to access end-to-end lineage, monitor assets like Spectrum tables, enrich metadata, and gain insights for optimized data observability.
Used by
Exhaustive metadata
Sifflet leverages Redshift's internal metadata tables to retrieve information about your assets and enhance it with Sifflet-generated insights.


End-to-end lineage
Have a complete understanding of how data flows through your platform via end-to-end lineage for Redshift.
Redshift Spectrum support
Sifflet can monitor external tables via Redshift Spectrum, allowing you to ensure the quality of data stored in other systems like S3.


Frequently asked questions
How does MCP support data quality monitoring in modern observability platforms?
MCP helps LLMs become active participants in data quality monitoring by giving them access to structured resources like schema definitions, data validation rules, and profiling metrics. At Sifflet, we use this to detect anomalies, enforce data contracts, and ensure SLA compliance more effectively.
Can container-based environments improve incident response for data teams?
Absolutely. Containerized environments paired with observability tools like Kubernetes and Prometheus for data enable faster incident detection and response. Features like real-time alerts, dynamic thresholding, and on-call management workflows make it easier to maintain healthy pipelines and reduce downtime.
Why is combining data catalogs with data observability tools the future of data management?
Combining data catalogs with data observability tools creates a holistic approach to managing data assets. While catalogs help users discover and understand data, observability tools ensure that data is accurate, timely, and reliable. This integration supports better decision-making, improves data reliability, and strengthens overall data governance.
What role does Sifflet’s Data Catalog play in data governance?
Sifflet’s Data Catalog supports data governance by surfacing labels and tags, enabling classification of data assets, and linking business glossary terms for standardized definitions. This structured approach helps maintain compliance, manage costs, and ensure sensitive data is handled responsibly.
When should companies start implementing data quality monitoring tools?
Ideally, data quality monitoring should begin as early as possible in your data journey. As Dan Power shared during Entropy, fixing issues at the source is far more efficient than tracking down errors later. Early adoption of observability tools helps you proactively catch problems, reduce manual fixes, and improve overall data reliability from day one.
Can Sifflet help with data quality monitoring directly from the Data Catalog?
Absolutely! Sifflet integrates data quality monitoring into its Data Catalog, allowing users to define and view data quality checks right alongside asset metadata. This gives teams real-time insights into data reliability and helps build trust in the assets they’re using for decision-making.
What kind of metadata can I see for a Fivetran connector in Sifflet?
When you click on a Fivetran connector node in the lineage, you’ll see key metadata like source and destination, sync frequency, current status, and the timestamp of the latest sync. This complements Sifflet’s existing metadata like owner and last refresh for complete context.
Why is full-stack visibility important in data pipelines?
Full-stack visibility is key to understanding how data moves across your systems. With a data observability tool, you get data lineage tracking and metadata insights, which help you pinpoint bottlenecks, track dependencies, and ensure your data is accurate from source to destination.
