How to Achieve Complete Data Observability–Without Breaking the Bank

By Ole Olesen-Bagneux – Chief Evangelist, PhD 

Download this Whitepaper to discover a modern, cost-effective, and complete approach to monitoring pipelines, scaling data products, and enforcing data governance—without stressing your systems or your team. 

What you’ll learn:

  • Why data observability has become essential in modern, multi-cloud data infrastructures.
  • How metadata and data observability work together to improve trust, quality, and governance.
  • The limitations of legacy and traditional observability approaches—and how they fail to scale.
  • How Actian’s decoupled, in-memory data quality engine enables complete and cost-efficient observability.
  • Why combining observability with automated data lineage is critical to tracking and maintaining data quality across pipelines.

This Whitepaper is designed for data engineering and architecture leaders, CDOs and governance professionals, analytics and AI program owners—anyone responsible for delivering trusted, scalable data across the enterprise.
