Strengthening Data Serenity for Organizations Everywhere with Sifflet x BigQuery

We're thrilled to announce that Sifflet has successfully achieved the Google Cloud Ready - BigQuery Designation. This milestone marks a significant step in our mission to empower organizations with holistic data observability, ensuring they can catalog, trace and monitor all their data assets in one place.

Sifflet benefits include:

  • Proactive Data Quality Oversight: Sifflet's integration with BigQuery establishes an additional layer of observability and allows you to maintain the quality of your data, detecting hidden issues and addressing them proactively before they impact your business operations.
  • Enhanced Data Accessibility: With Sifflet, your teams can easily find and utilize your BigQuery data, reducing barriers between data producers and data consumers. This enables seamless collaboration and data-driven decision-making across your organization.
  • In-depth Insights into Data Lifecycle: Connecting your BigQuery environment to Sifflet provides additional valuable insights into the creation, transformation, and consumption of your data. This holistic view enhances your ability to manage and optimize your data initiatives.

This integration has been enabled through a few key features that makes the data observability experience more effective:

  • BigQuery Metadata Enrichment: Sifflet further enhances BigQuery metadata with automated tagging, descriptions, field-level lineage computation with upstream and downstream systems, and actionable data asset monitoring.
  • External Table Support: Sifflet allows you to monitor external BigQuery tables based on Bigtable or Cloud Storage data. This enables end-to-end lineage on Sifflet no matter where your data is located.
  • Optimized monitoring queries: Sifflet leverages multiple BigQuery capabilities, such as partitioning and metadata APIs, to run highly optimized queries when monitoring BigQuery assets (even when querying complex types like nested and repeated fields).

Achieving the Google Cloud Ready - BigQuery Designation means that Sifflet has met essential functional and interoperability requirements for integrating with BigQuery. This designation not only validates our integration but also assures our customers that Sifflet’s products work seamlessly with BigQuery. 

Throughout this program, we have collaborated closely with Google Cloud’s partner engineering and BigQuery teams, refining our integration and developing joint roadmaps for future advancements such as expanding our partitioned tables support and adding support for share tables, ML models, and OAuth connectivity.

Looking Ahead:

As we look to the future, this collaboration opens up new avenues for innovation and growth. We are committed to further enhancing our capabilities and delivering even more value to our customers through continued collaboration with Google Cloud. Our goal remains steadfast: to support organizations everywhere with data they can rely upon.
