Transactional Databases

What's a transactional database?

Transactional databases are row-stores (data is stored on disk as rows rather than columns) commonly used in production systems. They are used for OLTP use cases and are usually where your product's data is first stored before it's moved to your data platform. In some cases, such databases can also be used for analytics.

Why connect Sifflet to your transactional database(s)?

By integrating Sifflet with your transactional databases, you'll be able to leverage Sifflet's three core capabilities:

  • Catalog all your data assets (with valuable metadata retrieved from the database and enriched directly in Sifflet).
  • Run monitors on your data assets to detect issues as soon as they arise and allow data consumers to trust the data.
  • Benefit from Sifflet's end-to-end lineage that showcases your data pipelines and the assets upstream and downstream of your transactional database.

Transactional databases default refresh frequency
