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

Can I customize how sensitive the alerts are in Sifflet’s Freshness Monitor?

Absolutely! Sifflet lets you adjust the sensitivity of your freshness alerts based on your specific needs. Whether you're monitoring ML pipelines or business-critical dashboards, you can fine-tune how strict the system is about detecting anomalies to ensure you're only alerted when it really matters. This is a great way to optimize your incident response automation.

What is SQL Table Tracer and how does it help with data lineage tracking?

SQL Table Tracer (STT) is a lightweight library that automatically extracts table-level lineage from SQL queries. It identifies both destination and upstream tables, making it easier to understand data dependencies and build reliable data lineage workflows. This is a key component of any effective data observability strategy.

Is there a way to use Sifflet with Terraform for better data governance?

Yes! Sifflet now offers an officially-supported Terraform provider that allows you to manage your observability setup as code. This includes configuring monitors and other Sifflet objects, which helps enforce data contracts, improve reproducibility, and strengthen data governance.

How can I monitor transformation errors and reduce their impact on downstream systems?

Monitoring transformation errors is key to maintaining healthy pipelines. Using a data observability platform allows you to implement real-time alerts, root cause analysis, and data validation rules. These features help catch issues early, reduce error propagation, and ensure that your analytics and business decisions are based on trustworthy data.

How did Sifflet support Meero’s incident management and root cause analysis efforts?

Sifflet provided Meero with powerful tools for root cause analysis and incident management. With features like data lineage tracking and automated alerts, the team could quickly trace issues back to their source and take action before they impacted business users.

How does Sifflet handle root cause analysis differently from Monte Carlo?

Sifflet’s AI agent, Sage, performs root cause analysis by combining metadata, query logs, code changes, and historical incidents to build a full narrative of the issue. This speeds up resolution and provides context-rich insights, making it easier to pinpoint and fix data pipeline issues efficiently.

What kind of alerts can I expect from Sifflet when using it with Firebolt?

With Sifflet, you’ll receive real-time alerts for any data quality issues detected in your Firebolt warehouse. These alerts are powered by advanced anomaly detection and data freshness checks, helping you stay ahead of potential problems.

How does Sifflet help with root cause analysis and incident resolution?

Sifflet provides advanced root cause analysis through complete data lineage and AI-powered anomaly detection. This means teams can quickly trace issues across pipelines and transformations, assess business impact, and resolve incidents faster with smart, context-aware alerts.
