To make data an asset, enterprises need data observability.
This emerging discipline includes data quality observability, which studies the accuracy and timeliness of data in flight or at rest, and data pipeline observability, which studies the performance of data pipelines as well as the infrastructure that support them.
Data observability programs and solutions should address these ten use cases across four categories:
- Prepare. Infrastructure design, capacity planning, and pipeline design.
- Operate. Performance tuning, data quality, and data drift.
- Adjust. Resource optimization, storage tiering, and migrations.
- Fund. Financial operations (FinOps).
