Introducing Data Observability in Starburst Galaxy – Now in Public Preview

Starburst has introduced data observability features in its Gravity platform, now in public preview, to enhance data management within its Starburst Galaxy ecosystem. These features aim to address common challenges faced by businesses, such as poor data quality and slow issue resolution, which can hinder decision-making and strategic data programs. By integrating data profiling, data quality, and data lineage capabilities, organizations can gain better visibility into their data systems, quickly identify and resolve issues, and understand the origins and downstream impacts of data problems. Data profiling generates statistics on tables, while data quality rules allow teams to set parameters for data consumption. Data lineage provides a map of data flow and transformations to help trace and rectify issues at their source. These features aim to reduce guesswork and streamline processes for resolving data quality issues, offering organizations flexibility in managing their data across various sources. Starburst plans to further enhance these capabilities in the future, promising more robust solutions to support data-driven organizations.
