Detect. Alert. Remediate.

Identify and fix data issues before they impact downstream work.

Drastically reduce Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) and Resolution (MTTR) with intelligent alerts and guided root-cause analysis. Free your engineers from firefighting and restore data trust faster.

Integrate automated checks and anomaly detection directly into your CI/CD pipelines, catching and fixing issues at the source—long before they ever impact production or downstream consumers.

Analyze historical drift patterns to determine if an incident is a one-off anomaly or a recurring problem, providing the context needed for a permanent fix, not just a patch.

Automatically detect silent errors and subtle changes in data volume, freshness, and distribution before they cascade into major data incidents.

Get automated alerts on data quality issues and schema drift before they break a dashboard or impact a business decision, ensuring data reliability across every data pipeline.

Bring your SQL-based rules from dbt or stored procedures. Avoid joins and logic rewrites.

FAQ

Data observability is the practice of continuously monitoring the health, freshness, volume, distribution, and schema of data across pipelines and systems. It enables teams to detect data issues early, understand root causes, and prevent broken analytics, dashboards, and AI models.

Within a broader data intelligence approach, data observability works alongside governance, metadata management, and lineage to ensure data can be trusted and used responsibly across the enterprise.

As part of a data intelligence platform, data observability connects real-time quality signals with metadata and lineage, providing the context needed to understand how data behaves and how changes impact downstream analytics and AI. This visibility helps organizations keep data reliable, explainable, and ready for analytics and AI at scale.

Data quality focuses on validating whether data meets defined rules at a point in time, such as accuracy or completeness. Data observability goes further by continuously monitoring data behavior, detecting unexpected changes, and identifying root causes before issues impact the business.

While data quality measures correctness, data observability ensures ongoing reliability—especially critical for analytics and AI systems that depend on fresh, stable data.

Observability refers to the ability to understand the internal state of a system by analyzing its outputs. In data environments, observability focuses on monitoring how data behaves as it moves through pipelines, transformations, and downstream consumption.

Data observability applies observability principles specifically to data, enabling teams to detect anomalies, understand impact, and maintain trust in data-driven systems.

Actian Data Observability is natively integrated with metadata, lineage, and governance within the Actian Data Intelligence Platform. This allows teams to not only detect data issues, but also understand why they occurred and who is impacted.

By connecting observability signals to business context and lineage, Actian enables faster remediation, stronger trust, and AI-ready data at enterprise scale.
