Frequently asked questions

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 did Dailymotion use data observability to support their shift to a product-oriented data platform?
Dailymotion embedded data observability into their data ecosystem to ensure trust, reliability, and discoverability across teams. This shift allowed them to move from ad hoc data requests to delivering scalable, analytics-driven data products that empower both engineers and business users.
When should companies start implementing data quality monitoring tools?
Ideally, data quality monitoring should begin as early as possible in your data journey. As Dan Power shared during Entropy, fixing issues at the source is far more efficient than tracking down errors later. Early adoption of observability tools helps you proactively catch problems, reduce manual fixes, and improve overall data reliability from day one.
Why is data observability so important for AI and analytics initiatives?
Great question! Data observability ensures that the data fueling AI and analytics is reliable, accurate, and fresh. At Sifflet, we see data observability as both a technical and business challenge, which is why our platform focuses on data quality monitoring, anomaly detection, and real-time metrics to help enterprises make confident, data-driven decisions.
What role do Common Table Expressions (CTEs) play in query optimization?
CTEs help simplify complex queries by breaking them into manageable parts. This boosts readability and performance, making it easier to identify issues during root cause analysis and enhancing your data quality monitoring efforts.
What should I look for in terms of integrations when choosing a data observability platform?
Great question! When evaluating a data observability platform, it's important to check how well it integrates with your existing data stack. The more integrations it supports, the more visibility you’ll have across your pipelines. This is key to achieving comprehensive data pipeline monitoring and ensuring smooth observability across your entire data ecosystem.
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 are the key components of an end-to-end data platform?
An end-to-end data platform includes layers for ingestion, storage, transformation, orchestration, governance, observability, and analytics. Each part plays a role in making data reliable and actionable. For example, data lineage tracking and real-time metrics collection help ensure transparency and performance across the pipeline.
