Monte Carlo announced a new integration with the automated data movement platform Fivetran, giving users the ability to accelerate data incident detection and resolution by adding monitoring to data pipelines at the point of creation.
With this announcement, Monte Carlo becomes the first data company to bring data observability to the entire orchestration layer, after integrations with Airflow, dbt Core and dbt Cloud were announced in 2022.
The integration with Fivetran is the latest step in Monte Carlo’s mission to bring end-to-end data observability to customers’ data stack. Monte Carlo, which maintains rich integrations with data warehouses and lakes like Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift, business intelligence tools like Looker, Tableau, and Mode, and ETL tools like Airflow and dbt, extends data quality coverage at ingestion with our native Fivetran integration. Now, data teams that rely on Fivetran to seamlessly ingest data into their warehouses and lakes can unlock the power of automated, end-to-end data observability to prevent bad data from affecting downstream consumers.
“Customers are at the core of everything we do at Monte Carlo, including driving what decisions we make with the evolution of our product,” said Lior Gavish, co-founder and CTO of Monte Carlo. “We’ve seen incredible adoption of our dbt integration, which has demonstrated to us that customers require more and more visibility into the orchestration layer. And with Fivetran being one of our customers’ favorite ELT tools, this new integration with Fivetran will be transformative and give them the ability to detect and troubleshoot issues faster so they can reduce data downtime and tackle initiatives that drive the needle for their business.”
As part of this news, Monte Carlo announced an official partnership with Fivetran to help joint customers improve data reliability at scale across the modern data stack.
“Our customers understand how easy it is to build pipelines, automate the ingestion process, and scale easier with Fivetran,” said Logan Welley, vice president of Alliances at Fivetran. “Joint customers of Monte Carlo and Fivetran now have the added benefit of having data observability built into those pipelines the moment they are built - allowing data teams to have full visibility of any upstream problems before they impact downstream users and products.”
With this integration, mutual customers can now:
- Achieve end-to-end data observability across ELT: Get end-to-end data observability for Fivetran data pipelines with a quick, no-code implementation process. Access out-of-the-box visibility into data freshness, volume, distribution, schema, and lineage just by plugging Monte Carlo into Fivetran.
- Know when data breaks, as soon as it happens: Monte Carlo continuously monitors your data assets and proactively alerts stakeholders to data issues. Monte Carlo’s machine learning-first approach gives data teams broad coverage for common data issues with minimal configuration, and business-context-specific checks layered on top ensure coverage at each stage of ELT - and beyond.
- Find the root cause of data quality issues, fast: Monte Carlo gives teams a single pane of glass to investigate data issues, drastically reducing time to resolution. By bringing all information and context for pipelines into one place, including Fivetran logs, teams spend less time firefighting data issues and more time building.
With the Monte Carlo - Fivetran integration, monitoring coverage is automatically integrated the moment the pipeline is built. When an issue occurs, notifications are surfaced within the Monte Carlo UI and sent as alerts in Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and anywhere else you manage incident workflows.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
