Getting Started with Data Observability
In the past years, organizations have been investing heavily to convert themselves into data-driven organizations with the objective to personalize customer experiences, optimize business processes, drive strategic business decisions, etc. As a result, modern data environments are constantly evolving and becoming more and more complex. In general, more data means more business insights that can lead to better decision-making. However, more data also means more complex data infrastructure, which can cause decreased data quality, a higher chance of data breaking, and consequently erosion of data trust within organizations and risk of not being compliant with regulations. The data observability category — which has quickly been developing during the past couple of years — aims to solve these challenges by enabling organizations to trust their data at all times. Although the category is relatively young, there are already a wide variety of players with different offerings and applying various technologies to solve data quality problems.
