Why Data Engineers Must Manage Data Pipelines, Not Data Warehouses

Many system and data engineers focus solely on granular performance metrics, such as query speeds, accuracy, and storage costs, which only provide limited visibility into the overall health of their data infrastructure and pipelines. The two primary reasons for this are technical limitations and a mindset focused on individual metrics rather than system-wide health. Today's sprawling and mission-critical data infrastructures require a new generation of data management tools, such as data observability platforms, to provide the necessary visibility, control, and predictive insight to quickly troubleshoot current problems and prevent potential issues. Acceldata is an example of a modern data observability platform designed to solve the challenges faced by today's complex data pipelines.
