Hi all,
We’ve been improving our data quality monitoring for several pipelines, but we keep running into the same problem — too many alerts, most of which aren’t actionable. Over time, it becomes harder to trust them.
Right now, we’re doing:
Freshness checks
Volume anomaly detection
Schema change alerts
Some data lineage tracking
Recently, we started using Sifflet to automate checks and add context, which has already reduced alert fatigue quite a bit. But I’d love to hear what others are doing to strike the right balance between coverage and noise.
How do you configure your checks so alerts are both accurate and actionable?
