Kensu launches the Kensu Community Edition, the first free solution for monitoring the health of data pipelines at the source and exploring the potential of this new data solution category.

“Data observability is a game changer for data teams,” stated Andy Petrella, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Kensu. It goes beyond data quality by offering deep visibility into the health of their data in motion to data leaders and practitioners. They will be able to develop trustworthy end-to-end data solutions now that they can gain contextual insights in real time about how and when the applications are producing and consuming data.”

“Data observability is increasingly required to complement and augment existing and modern data management infrastructures.” Data observability is an organization’s ability to have comprehensive visibility of its data environment in order to identify, control, prevent, escalate, and resolve data failures within expected SLAs. Data observability employs continuous multilayer signal gathering, consolidation, and analysis to inform and advocate a better design for greater performance and governance in order to meet corporate objectives.”
