Kensu Overview

What is Kensu?

Our low latency data observability solution alerts about data issues, prevents their propagation, and highlights which applications are impacted. To foster a data-driven culture, automation of data observability at scale is essential. The best way to achieve this is through what is called Data Observability Driven Development [DODD] which implies observable information is produced by the applications. The method is a paradigm shift that allows data teams and data usage to scale efficiently. DODD is done from within the applications to enable data projects with synchronized observability, continuous validation, and contextual observability.
