✨ New & Improved

ML Lookback period for data querying optimization: We have added more flexibility to how users can optimize the data querying for ML models. For reference, when activated, the ML models build the training dataset incrementally based on recent data points instead of scanning the whole history each time the model retrains. With this release, users can customize the width of the lookback period in time units (weeks, days, hours).

✨ New & Improved

  • Domains: This feature will allow organizations to enable reliable data democratization by creating and managing business domains on the platform. A business domain represents a group of data assets belonging to a business area, such as finance, sales, or operations. It allows the users within these business domains to have the right visibility on their data assets and efficiently collaborate with other team members. You can find more information here.
  • New monitoring capability, introducing conditional rules: Business users can now monitor their data based on their specific business context without having to write complex SQL queries. Sifflet currently supports BigQuery data assets; other data sources will be progressively rolled out.
  • Monitoring Rule Distribution Change improvement. Users can now choose between the static or dynamic type of monitoring (you can find more information here)
    • Dynamic: the rule fails if the statistical test finds any anomaly based on the previous trends, there is no need to define any threshold.
    • Static: the rule fails if one category's distribution changes more than a given threshold.
  • Snowflake integration improvement, supporting Snowflake streams: Users can view streams on the Sifflet catalog.
  • BigQuery integration improvement, supporting nested fields: Users can now view their nested fields on the Sifflet catalog and implement monitoring rules on them.
  • BigQuery integration improvement, supporting Billing Project id: Users can now specify the Billing Project Id (optional) of their choice for BigQuery connections.

🛠 Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the scope of Incidents would sometimes not display properly.
