At Sifflet, data security is built into the foundation of our data observability platform. We follow three core principles: least privilege, no storage, and single tenancy. This means we only use read-only access, never store your data, and isolate each customer’s environment to prevent cross-tenant access.

Data observability was key to Meero's success in maintaining reliable data pipelines. By using Sifflet’s observability platform, they could monitor data freshness, schema changes, and volume anomalies, ensuring their data remained trustworthy and accurate for business decision-making.

Clear data ownership is a game changer for data quality monitoring. When each data product has a defined owner, it’s easier to resolve issues quickly, collaborate across teams, and build a strong data culture that values accountability and trust.

Data lineage plays a key role in compliance monitoring by providing transparency into where data comes from, how it's processed, and where it ends up. This is crucial for meeting regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, and for maintaining strong data governance practices across the organization.

We’re just getting started! Soon, you’ll be able to monitor dbt run performance and resource utilization, define monitors in your dbt YAML files, and use custom metadata even more dynamically. These updates will further enhance your cloud data observability and make your workflows even more efficient.

Great question! As AI and real-time data products become more widespread, data observability is crucial for ensuring data reliability, privacy, and performance. A strong observability platform helps reduce data chaos by monitoring pipeline health, identifying anomalies, and maintaining SLA compliance across increasingly complex data ecosystems.

Sifflet supports data governance by allowing you to classify assets with tags and labels, define business terms in a shared glossary, and track data lineage. These features help ensure consistent definitions and safe handling of sensitive data across your stack.
