Frequently asked questions

Why is stakeholder trust in data so important, and how can we protect it?
Stakeholder trust is crucial because inconsistent or unreliable data can lead to poor decisions and reduced adoption of data-driven practices. You can protect this trust with strong data quality monitoring, real-time metrics, and consistent reporting. Data observability tools help by alerting teams to issues before they impact dashboards or reports, ensuring transparency and reliability.
Why is combining dbt Core with a data observability platform like Sifflet a smart move?
Combining dbt Core with a data observability platform like Sifflet helps data teams go beyond transformation and into full-stack monitoring. It enables better root cause analysis, reduces time to resolution, and ensures your data products are trustworthy and resilient.
How does Sifflet enhance Apache Airflow for data teams?
Sifflet's integration with Apache Airflow brings powerful data observability features directly into your orchestration workflows. It helps data teams monitor DAG run statuses, understand downstream dependencies, and apply data quality monitoring to catch issues early, ensuring data reliability across the stack.
How can tools like Sifflet help with data quality monitoring?
Sifflet is designed to make data quality monitoring scalable and business-aware. It offers automated anomaly detection, real-time alerts, and impact analysis so you can focus on the issues that matter most. With features like data profiling, dynamic thresholding, and low-code setup, Sifflet empowers both technical and non-technical users to maintain high data reliability across complex pipelines. It's a great fit for modern data teams looking to reduce manual effort and improve trust in their data.
What should I look for when choosing a data observability platform?
Great question! When evaluating a data observability platform, it’s important to focus on real capabilities like root cause analysis, data lineage tracking, and SLA compliance rather than flashy features. Our checklist helps you cut through the noise so you can find a solution that builds trust and scales with your data needs.
Can Sifflet help with data quality monitoring directly from the Data Catalog?
Absolutely! Sifflet integrates data quality monitoring into its Data Catalog, allowing users to define and view data quality checks right alongside asset metadata. This gives teams real-time insights into data reliability and helps build trust in the assets they’re using for decision-making.
Can I monitor my BigQuery data with Sifflet?
Absolutely! Sifflet’s observability tools are fully compatible with Google BigQuery, so you can perform data quality monitoring, data lineage tracking, and anomaly detection right where your data lives.
How does the shift to poly cloud impact observability platforms?
The move toward poly cloud environments increases the complexity of monitoring, but observability platforms are evolving to unify insights across multiple cloud providers. This helps teams maintain SLA compliance, monitor ingestion latency, and ensure data reliability regardless of where workloads are running.
