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

How does the updated lineage graph help with root cause analysis?

By merging dbt model nodes with dataset nodes, our streamlined lineage graph removes clutter and highlights what really matters. This cleaner view enhances root cause analysis by letting you quickly trace issues back to their source with fewer distractions and more context.

Why is data quality monitoring so important for data-driven decision-making, especially in uncertain times?

Great question! Data quality monitoring helps ensure that the data you're relying on is accurate, timely and complete. In high-stress or uncertain situations, poor data can lead to poor decisions. By implementing scalable data quality monitoring, including anomaly detection and data freshness checks, you can avoid the 'garbage in, garbage out' problem and make confident, informed decisions.

What is the difference between data monitoring and data observability?

Great question! Data monitoring is like your car's dashboard—it alerts you when something goes wrong, like a failed pipeline or a missing dataset. Data observability, on the other hand, is like being the driver. It gives you a full understanding of how your data behaves, where it comes from, and how issues impact downstream systems. At Sifflet, we believe in going beyond alerts to deliver true data observability across your entire stack.

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 lineage tracking play in data discovery?

Data lineage tracking is essential for understanding how data flows through your systems. It shows you where data comes from, how it’s transformed, and where it ends up. This is super helpful for root cause analysis and makes data discovery more efficient by giving you context and confidence in the data you're using.

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.

What is data lineage and why is it important for data teams?

Data lineage is a visual map that shows how data flows from its source through transformations to its final destination, like dashboards or ML models. It's essential for data teams because it enables faster root cause analysis, improves data trust, and supports smarter change management. When paired with a data observability platform like Sifflet, lineage becomes a powerful tool for tracking data quality and ensuring SLA compliance.

How does Sifflet support collaboration across data teams?

Sifflet promotes un-siloed data quality by offering a unified platform where data engineers, analysts, and business users can collaborate. Features like pipeline health dashboards, data lineage tracking, and automated incident reports help teams stay aligned and respond quickly to issues.
