Cloud migration monitoring

Mitigate disruption and risks

Customers choose Sifflet for migrations because it unifies lineage, monitoring, and triage in one place, giving teams clear, business-relevant insights without tool-switching. Its AI speeds up root cause analysis, learns your environment, and cuts manual effort, typically going live in under an hour and scaling fully in six weeks.

Pre-Migration: Baseline and Prepare

Create a complete inventory and establish trust baselines before any data is moved.

‍What Sifflet enables

• End-to-end lineage mapping across your on-prem estate, so you know exactly which tables, dashboards, and KPIs depend on each other before changing pipelines.

• Automated data profiling and health scoring to establish quality baselines (volumes, distributions, freshness, schema shape) for every critical asset.

• Domain-level ownership so each business area knows its scope and responsibilities ahead of the migration.

• Monitors as Code to version and package all checks that will run pre- and post-migration.

‍

‍Outcome: A clear, auditable understanding of what “good” looks like before the first batch of data is moved.

During Migration: Parallel Validation and Controlled Cutover

Continuously validate data between your on-prem and Snowflake environments.

‍What Sifflet enables

• Automated cross-environment comparison checks using custom SQL monitors, dynamic tests, and Sifflet’s failing-rows view.

• Adaptive anomaly detection with seasonal awareness to catch regressions introduced by new pipelines or refactored logic.

• Incident-centric workflow to consolidate related alerts, generate AI-driven root cause analysis, and route to the right domain team.

• Field-level lineage to understand the blast radius of every upstream change as migration waves progress.

‍

‍Outcome: Fast detection of mismatches, broken joins, missing data, or schema drift without manual spot-checking.

Post-Migration: Stabilise and Scale

Ensure production-grade reliability in Snowflake after cutover.

‍What Sifflet enables

• Auto-coverage and Monitor Recommendations (Sentinel) to close blind spots and automatically instrument new Snowflake tables.

• BI-embedded notifications (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) to alert business teams when downstream metrics change.

• Data Product views and SLAs to formalise trust in the new ecosystem and expose quality metrics to stakeholders.

• Cost-efficient observability with workload tagging and percent compute overhead to keep Snowflake spend predictable.

‍Outcome: A stable, trusted Snowflake environment with observability built in, not bolted on.

Frequently asked questions

What non-quantifiable benefits can data observability bring to my organization?

Besides measurable improvements, data observability also boosts trust in data, enhances decision-making, and improves the overall satisfaction of your data team. When your team spends less time debugging and more time driving value, it fosters a healthier data culture and supports long-term business growth.

Why is it important to align KPIs with data team objectives?

Aligning KPIs with your data team’s goals is essential for clarity and motivation. When everyone knows what success looks like and how it’s measured, it creates a sense of purpose. Tools that support data quality monitoring and metrics collection can help track those KPIs effectively and ensure your team is on the right path.

What role does data lineage play in incident management and alerting?

Data lineage provides visibility into data dependencies, which helps teams assign, prioritize, and resolve alerts more effectively. In an observability platform like Sifflet, this means faster incident response, better alert correlation, and improved on-call management workflows.

What role does data ownership play in data quality monitoring?

Clear data ownership is a game changer for data quality monitoring. When each data product has a defined owner, it’s easier to resolve issues quickly, collaborate across teams, and build a strong data culture that values accountability and trust.

How does the Sifflet and Firebolt integration improve data observability?

Great question! By integrating with Firebolt, Sifflet enhances your data observability by offering real-time metrics, end-to-end lineage, and automated anomaly detection. This means you can monitor your Firebolt data warehouse with precision and catch data quality issues before they impact the business.

How does Sifflet support data quality monitoring at scale?

Sifflet makes data quality monitoring scalable with features like auto-coverage, which automatically generates monitors across your datasets. Whether you're working with Snowflake, BigQuery, or other platforms, you can quickly reach high monitoring coverage and get real-time alerts via Slack, email, or MS Teams to ensure data reliability.

Can MCP help with data pipeline monitoring and incident response?

Absolutely! MCP allows LLMs to remember past interactions and call diagnostic tools, which is a game-changer for data pipeline monitoring. It supports multi-turn conversations and structured tool use, making incident response faster and more contextual. This means less time spent digging through logs and more time resolving issues efficiently.

Can I use custom dbt metadata for data governance in Sifflet?

Absolutely! Our new dbt tab surfaces custom metadata defined in your dbt models, which you can leverage for better data governance and data profiling. It’s all about giving you the flexibility to manage your data assets exactly the way you need.
