Cloud migration monitoring
Mitigate disruption and risks
Optimize the management of data assets during each stage of a cloud migration.

Before migration
- Go through an inventory of what needs to be migrated using the Data Catalog
- Identify the most critical assets to prioritize migration efforts based on actual asset usage
- Leverage lineage to identify downstream impact of the migration in order to plan accordingly

During migration
- Use the Data Catalog to confirm all the data was backed up appropriately
- Ensure the new environment matches the incumbent via dedicated monitors

After migration
- Swiftly document and classify new pipelines thanks to Sifflet AI Assistant
- Define data ownership to improve accountability and simplify maintenance of new data pipelines
- Monitor new pipelines to ensure the robustness of data foundations over time
- Leverage lineage to better understand newly built data flows


Frequently asked questions
What is data observability and why is it important for modern data teams?
Data observability is the practice of monitoring data as it moves through your pipelines to detect, understand, and resolve issues proactively. It’s crucial because it helps data teams ensure data reliability, improve decision-making, and reduce the time spent firefighting data issues. With the growing complexity of data systems, having a robust observability platform is key to maintaining trust in your data.
What trends are driving the demand for centralized data observability platforms?
The growing complexity of data products, especially with AI and real-time use cases, is driving the need for centralized data observability platforms. These platforms support proactive monitoring, root cause analysis, and incident response automation, making it easier for teams to maintain data reliability and optimize resource utilization.
How does Sifflet’s dbt Impact Analysis improve data pipeline monitoring?
By surfacing impacted tables, dashboards, and other assets directly in GitHub or GitLab, Sifflet’s dbt Impact Analysis gives teams real-time visibility into how changes affect the broader data pipeline. This supports better data pipeline monitoring and helps maintain data reliability.
How does SQL Table Tracer support different SQL dialects for data lineage tracking?
SQL Table Tracer uses Antlr4 and a unified grammar with semantic predicates to support multiple SQL dialects like Snowflake, Redshift, and PostgreSQL. This ensures accurate data lineage tracking across diverse systems without needing separate parsers for each dialect.
What should I look for when choosing a data integration tool?
Look for tools that support your data sources and destinations, offer automation, and ensure compliance. Features like schema registry integration, real-time metrics, and alerting can also make a big difference. A good tool should work seamlessly with your observability tools to maintain data quality and trust.
How does Sifflet help detect and prevent data drift in AI models?
Sifflet is designed to monitor subtle changes in data distributions, which is key for data drift detection. This helps teams catch shifts in data that could negatively impact AI model performance. By continuously analyzing incoming data and comparing it to historical patterns, Sifflet ensures your models stay aligned with the most relevant and reliable inputs.
How does data observability improve the value of a data catalog?
Data observability enhances a data catalog by adding continuous monitoring, data lineage tracking, and real-time alerts. This means organizations can not only find their data but also trust its accuracy, freshness, and consistency. By integrating observability tools, a catalog becomes part of a dynamic system that supports SLA compliance and proactive data governance.
How does Sifflet help with data drift detection in machine learning models?
Great question! Sifflet's distribution deviation monitoring uses advanced statistical models to detect shifts in data at the field level. This helps machine learning engineers stay ahead of data drift, maintain model accuracy, and ensure reliable predictive analytics monitoring over time.
