Operationalizing Data Quality in Cloud ETL Workflows: Automated Validation and Anomaly Detection

DZone

Data quality has shifted from a checkpoint to being an operational requirement. As more and more data warehouses become cloud-native, and the complexity of running real-time pipelines increases, data engineers face a non-trivial problem: how to operationalize quality checks without slowing down the velocity of the ETL workflows. “Traditional post-load checks or static rules” do not suffice.

Unified observability: Why storing OpenTelemetry signals in one place matters

Dynatrace

In observability’s early days, we often talked about the “three pillars.” That is, traces, logs, and metrics, which gave us the information to make our systems observable. The problem with referring to these three signals as “pillars” is that it implies they’re siloed and therefore independent of each other, when in fact, the exact opposite is true.
