What is data observability?

Data observability is your company’s ability to fully understand the health of the data in its systems. Healthy—high-quality, reliable, and trusted—data starts with the ability to monitor and understand the five pillars of data observability at each stage of the pipeline.

  • Freshness
How up-to-date are your data tables, and when was the last time they were updated? Freshness is particularly important when it comes to decision making.
  • Quality
  • Volume
  • Schema
  • Lineage

Is data monitoring enough?

Short answer is, “no.” Data observability doesn’t end with anomaly detection across a few data assets. Data can break for millions of reasons, and the sooner we know—and fix it—the better. A complete data observability platform enables data teams to:

Know when data breaks, as soon as it happens

Data observability platforms connect to your existing data stack quickly and seamlessly to monitor for freshness, distribution, volume, and schema changes continuously, and immediately notifies stakeholders once data incidents are detected.

Find the root cause, fast

Data observability platforms equip data teams with the rich context they need, including end-to-end field-level lineage to enable rapid triage and troubleshooting, drastically reducing time to resolution and building trust with stakeholders.

Eliminate data downtime and maximize investments

With end-to-end visibility, data observability platforms generate insights that help data teams change and modify tables and schema responsibly, manage storage and compute costs, and make smarter data architecture decisions.

What if I already…?

Data catalogs help maintain the availability, usability, provenance, and security of data. But, traditional tools tend to be manual and difficult to maintain given the demands of the modern data stack. Data observability platforms are automated, scale with the growth of your data stack, and federate the meaning of data across domains to enable real-time distributed ownership of data assets. Data observability platforms like Monte Carlo integrate with major data catalog providers, and offer additional layers of visibility, trust, and discoverability.
