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.

Sifflet’s AI Helps Us Focus on What Moves the Business

What impressed us most about Sifflet’s AI-native approach is how seamlessly it adapts to our data landscape — without needing constant tuning. The system learns patterns across our workflows and flags what matters, not just what’s noisy. It’s made our team faster and more focused, especially as we scale analytics across the business.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Universal Connector and how does it support data pipeline monitoring?

The Universal Connector lets you integrate Sifflet with any tool in your stack using YAML and API endpoints. It enables full-stack data pipeline monitoring and data lineage tracking, even for tools Sifflet doesn’t natively support, offering a more complete view of your observability workflows.

Why is data lineage so critical in a data observability strategy?

Data lineage is the backbone of any strong data observability strategy. It helps teams trace data issues to their source by showing how data flows from ingestion to dashboards and models. With lineage, you can assess the impact of changes, improve collaboration across teams, and resolve anomalies faster. It's especially powerful when combined with anomaly detection and real-time metrics for full visibility across your pipelines.

Is this feature part of Sifflet’s larger observability platform?

Yes, dbt Impact Analysis is a key addition to Sifflet’s observability platform. It integrates seamlessly into your GitHub or GitLab workflows and complements other features like data lineage tracking and data quality monitoring to provide holistic data observability.

What are some key features to look for in an observability platform for data?

A strong observability platform should offer data lineage tracking, real-time metrics, anomaly detection, and data freshness checks. It should also integrate with your existing tools like Airflow or Snowflake, and support alerting through Slack or webhook integrations. These capabilities help teams monitor data pipelines effectively and respond quickly to issues.

What new investments is Sifflet making after the latest funding round?

We're excited to be investing in four key areas: enhancing our product roadmap, expanding our AI-powered capabilities, growing our North American presence, and accelerating hiring across teams. These efforts will help us continue leading in cloud data observability and better serve our growing customer base.

What makes Sifflet’s Data Catalog different from built-in catalogs like Snowsight or Unity Catalog?

Unlike tool-specific catalogs, Sifflet serves as a 'Catalog of Catalogs.' It brings together metadata from across your entire data ecosystem, providing a single source of truth for data lineage tracking, asset discovery, and SLA compliance.

How does Etam ensure pipeline health while scaling its data operations?

Etam uses observability tools like Sifflet to maintain a healthy data pipeline. By continuously monitoring real-time metrics and setting up proactive alerts, they can catch issues early and ensure their data remains trustworthy as they scale operations.

Why is data observability becoming so important for businesses in 2025?

Great question! As Salma Bakouk shared in our recent webinar, data observability is critical because it builds trust and reliability across your data ecosystem. With poor data quality costing companies an average of $13 million annually, having a strong observability platform helps teams proactively detect issues, ensure data freshness, and align analytics efforts with business goals.
