Introduction

AnomalyArmor - Data observability for modern data teams

AnomalyArmor is a data observability platform that helps data teams detect issues before they become incidents. Know when schemas change, data goes stale, or pipelines break, before your stakeholders do.

The Problem We Solve

Data teams face a common challenge: you don’t know what you don’t know.

• A column gets dropped upstream → your dbt models fail at 3am
• An ETL job silently stops → dashboards show stale data for hours
• A data type changes → aggregations return wrong results for days
• A new table appears → you find out when someone asks about it

These aren’t edge cases. They’re Tuesday.

AnomalyArmor gives you visibility so you can catch issues when they happen, not when your CFO asks why the numbers are wrong.

What is Data Observability?

Data observability brings the principles of application monitoring to your data infrastructure. Just as you wouldn’t run a production application without alerts for errors and latency, you shouldn’t run data pipelines without visibility into data health.

Key Features

Schema Monitoring

Automatically discover tables and detect schema changes before they break downstream systems. Know immediately when columns are added, removed, or modified.

Freshness Monitoring

Set SLAs on data freshness and get alerted when data is stale or delayed. Never show yesterday’s data on today’s dashboard.

Data Quality Metrics

Track row counts, null percentages, distinct values, and more. Detect anomalies automatically using statistical analysis.

Intelligent Alerts

Route alerts to Slack, email, PagerDuty, or webhooks. Configure rules to filter noise and escalate what matters.

AI-Powered Insights

Get AI-generated documentation for your tables and columns. Ask natural language questions about your data catalog.

Report Badges

Embed data quality status in Databricks, Looker, Notion, and other tools. See pass/fail at a glance.

Who Uses AnomalyArmor?

Data Engineers

Your challenge: Pipelines break when upstream schemas change. You’re the first call when data is wrong.

How AnomalyArmor helps:

• Get alerted to schema changes before your pipelines run
• Understand what changed and when
• Reduce time-to-resolution for data incidents

Analytics Engineers

Your challenge: dbt models fail mysteriously. You spend hours debugging “column not found” errors.

How AnomalyArmor helps:

• Know when source tables change
• Track which models depend on changed assets
• Document your data models with AI assistance

Platform Teams

Your challenge: Multiple teams, multiple databases, no central visibility.

How AnomalyArmor helps:

• Single pane of glass across all data sources
• Centralized alerting with team-based routing
• Audit trail for compliance requirements

Data Leaders

Your challenge: Stakeholders don’t trust the data. You need to reduce data incidents.

How AnomalyArmor helps:

• Proactive monitoring reduces incidents by catching issues early
• SLA tracking demonstrates data reliability
• Centralized catalog improves data discovery

How It Works

AnomalyArmor follows a simple, secure model:

1. Connect: Add your database with read-only credentials
2. Discover: We scan your metadata (never your actual data)
3. Monitor: Scheduled scans detect changes automatically
4. Alert: Get notified through your preferred channels

Security First

AnomalyArmor is built with security as a foundation:

• Metadata only: We never access your actual data
• Encrypted everywhere: TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest
• Minimal access: Read-only, dedicated database users recommended
