Data Ingestion Monitoring and Alerts

Complex data ingestion pipelines put a lot of pressure on platform support teams to monitor the status of data processing and underlying infrastructure. Support and DevOps engineers need accurate information about the status of each data pipeline and, in case of failures, quick and efficient tools to troubleshoot the problem. At C&F, we take a holistic approach to deliver efficient data ingestion processing and a single point of monitoring for data and infrastructure problems. Our ingestion platforms provide UI views where it is possible to check each data flow status and drill down to specific service logs in case of failures. Since we support our clients, we ensure that our platform teams have access to dashboards that provide transparent information about data pipeline execution status and infrastructure health. This enables them to quickly react to data problems and inform end-users about potential data issues. DevOps engineers also have access to this monitoring, which allows them to proactively check the state of services running in the cloud and resource consumption. Thanks to the effort we put into setting up these monitoring and alert systems, we can minimize the problems related to infrastructure availability and ensure that end users get fast and accurate information through notifications about possible data ingestion problems. All these activities have contributed so far to high level of confidence among data lake stakeholders and new data being onboarded.

Data pipelines, often complex with multiple data sources and layers, can be susceptible to even minor issues impacting downstream systems and users. Our solutions prioritize efficient monitoring for rapid issue detection and impact assessment to address this. Integrated alerting informs all stakeholders, facilitates inter-team communication, and accelerates resolution.
