CELERITY IT's "Six Shooters" Aim to Revolutionize Data Pipeline Reliability

ATLANTA, GA – October 26, 2023 – CELERITY IT LLC, a leading provider of data engineering and cloud solutions, today announced the launch of "Six Shooters," a new suite of data pipeline monitoring and alerting tools designed to drastically improve data reliability and reduce the headaches associated with broken data flows. Based in Atlanta (3626 Cumberland Blvd, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA, 30339, United States, 660-379-4648), CELERITY IT has a reputation for tackling tough data challenges, and “Six Shooters” is a direct response to the growing needs of companies struggling to keep their data pipelines running smoothly. “Let's be honest, data pipelines break. It's just a fact of life,” says a representative from CELERITY IT. “Companies are building more and more complex data systems, and keeping everything synced up and working correctly is a major pain point. We’ve seen firsthand how much time and money is wasted chasing down errors. ‘Six Shooters’ is built to stop those errors before they cause real problems.” What’s the Problem? (And Why “Six Shooters”?) In today’s data-driven world, businesses rely on consistent, accurate data to make critical decisions. But the process of getting that data from source to destination is often complex, involving multiple systems, transformations, and potential points of failure. Traditional monitoring tools often fall short, providing only high-level status checks or requiring complex configurations. This means issues can often slip through the cracks, leading to: Bad Data: Inaccurate reports, flawed analytics, and ultimately, poor business decisions. Wasted Time: Data engineers and analysts spend hours troubleshooting issues instead of building valuable insights. Lost Revenue: Data outages can directly impact revenue-generating applications and services. Erosion of Trust: When data is unreliable, users lose faith in the entire data ecosystem. “We needed something that wasn’t just about knowing if something was broken, but where it was broken, and why,” explains the CELERITY IT spokesperson. “The ‘Six Shooters’ name comes from the idea of having six critical checks constantly monitoring your data flows. It's like having a dedicated security detail for your data.” How Do "Six Shooters" Work? “Six Shooters” isn't just a single tool, it's a collection of integrated checks, each designed to address a specific aspect of data pipeline health. Here’s a breakdown of the “six shots”: 1. Data Volume Check: This checks if the expected amount of data is flowing through the pipeline. A sudden drop in volume can indicate a problem with data ingestion or processing. It's the first line of defense, flagging potential issues before they escalate. “Think of it as a quick headcount – are we getting the data we expect?” 2. Schema Validation Check: Ensures the data conforms to the expected schema. Changes in data format can break downstream applications. “This one’s about making sure the data is shaped correctly – like fitting a square peg in a round hole.” 3. Data Completeness Check: Verifies that all expected data is present. Missing data can skew analytics and lead to inaccurate conclusions. “Are all the pieces of the puzzle there? This check makes sure nothing is missing.” 4. Data Freshness Check: Confirms that data is being updated at the expected frequency. Stale data can lead to outdated insights. “Is the data up-to-date? This keeps your information current.” 5. Data Quality Check: Identifies anomalies and outliers in the data. This check can include things like invalid values, duplicate records, or data that falls outside of expected ranges. “This is about spotting the bad apples – identifying data that doesn’t look right.” 6. Pipeline Latency Check: Monitors the time it takes for data to flow through the pipeline. Increased latency can indicate performance issues or bottlenecks. “How long is the data taking to get where it needs to go? This keeps things running smoothly.” Key Features & Benefits: Proactive Monitoring: "Six Shooters" catches errors before they impact business operations. Automated Alerts: Real-time notifications via email, Slack, or other channels. Customizable Checks: Tailor the checks to your specific data pipelines and requirements. Easy Integration: Works with a wide range of data sources and data platforms, including cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery and Redshift, and data integration tools like Fivetran and dbt. Simplified Troubleshooting: Clear and concise error messages help you quickly identify and resolve issues. Reduced Costs: By preventing data outages and reducing troubleshooting time, “Six Shooters” helps you save money. Scalability: Designed to handle large volumes of data and complex pipelines.
