Challenge

The situation

Pipeline failures surfaced days later — from downstream complaints, not proactive detection. Analysts lost trust.

Approach

How we delivered

  1. 01 Deployed Bigeye across the lakehouse with auto-generated monitors.
  2. 02 Routed alerts to on-call via PagerDuty with severity tiers.
  3. 03 Published a data-SLA covenant with downstream consumers.

Architecture

Bigeye monitors 6,000 tables in Databricks. Auto-generated freshness, volume, and schema monitors plus custom business-rule SLAs. Alerting through PagerDuty + Slack.
