Frequently asked questions
How does Sifflet's Data Sharing feature help with enforcing data governance policies?
Great question! Sifflet's Data Sharing provides access to rich metadata about your data assets, including tags, owners, and monitor configurations. By making this available in your own data warehouse, you can set up automated checks to ensure compliance with your governance standards. It's a powerful way to implement scalable data governance and reduce manual audits using our observability platform.
What does it mean to treat data as a product?
Treating data as a product means managing data with the same care and strategy as a traditional product. It involves packaging, maintaining, and delivering high-quality data that serves a specific purpose or audience. This approach improves data reliability and makes it easier to monetize or use for strategic decision-making.
How does the new Custom Metadata feature improve data governance?
With Custom Metadata, you can tag any asset, monitor, or domain in Sifflet using flexible key-value pairs. This makes it easier to organize and route data based on your internal logic, whether it's ownership, SLA compliance, or business unit. It's a big step forward for data governance and helps teams surface high-priority monitors more effectively.
What should I look for in a data quality monitoring solution?
You’ll want a solution that goes beyond basic checks like null values and schema validation. The best data quality monitoring tools use intelligent anomaly detection, dynamic thresholding, and auto-generated rules based on data profiling. They adapt as your data evolves and scale effortlessly across thousands of tables. This way, your team can confidently trust the data without spending hours writing manual validation rules.
Why is data lineage tracking essential for modern data teams?
Data lineage tracking is key to understanding how data flows through your systems. It helps teams trace anomalies back to their source, identify downstream dependencies, and improve collaboration across departments. This visibility is crucial for maintaining data pipeline monitoring and SLA compliance.
What is dbt Impact Analysis and how does it help with data observability?
dbt Impact Analysis is a new feature from Sifflet that automatically comments on GitHub or GitLab pull requests with a list of impacted assets when a dbt model is changed. This helps teams enhance their data observability by understanding downstream effects before changes go live.
How does Shippeo ensure data reliability across its supply chain platform?
Shippeo uses Sifflet’s data observability platform to monitor every stage of their data pipelines. By implementing raw data monitoring, intermediate layer checks, and front-facing metric validation, they catch issues early and maintain trust in their real-time supply chain visibility tools.
Can I use data monitoring and data observability together?
Absolutely! In fact, data monitoring is often a key feature within a broader data observability solution. At Sifflet, we combine traditional monitoring with advanced capabilities like data profiling, pipeline health dashboards, and data drift detection so you get both alerts and insights in one place.
