Astro Observe
Deliver trusted data with orchestration-native observability.
Detect issues earlier, resolve them faster, and ensure reliable data delivery with pipeline observability built directly into Astro.
With Astro Observe, data engineering teams gain the visibility to deliver data products with confidence.
"Astro Observe is filling a void that we would otherwise have to build ourselves. Adding data observability alongside orchestration allows us to get ahead of issues before they impact users and downstream systems"
Brendan Frick
Senior Engineering Manager, Data
"Defining data products with SLAs and actually being able to track them is a big improvement over what we had before."

why astro observe
The easiest way to monitor Airflow pipelines.
Astro Observe delivers real-time pipeline lineage, data quality, and cost visibility purpose-built for Airflow and fully integrated into Astro, so your team gets the visibility they need without adding another tool to the stack.
Lineage-Powered RCA
Resolve issues faster with real-time pipeline context.
Automatically visualize pipeline lineage, accelerate debugging with AI-generated log summaries, and quickly understand the downstream impact of failures.
Proactive SLA Monitoring
Prevent data disruptions before they happen.
Track SLAs for your most important data products, monitor performance in real time, and receive early alerts before delays cause downstream disruption.
Private preview Integrated Data Quality
Make data quality actionable with pipeline context.
Monitor data quality in your warehouse with built-in checks that connect warehouse tables to upstream pipelines for faster resolution.
Private preview Pipeline Cost Visibility
Control warehouse spend at the pipeline level.
Connect warehouse spend to Airflow pipelines, uncover inefficiencies and performance trends, and focus investments on the pipelines that deliver the most ROI.
observe capabilities
Built for complete pipeline visibility.
Traditional observability tools stop at the warehouse. Astro Observe fills the gap, giving you visibility to understand every workflow in real-time.
Real-Time Lineage
Instantly trace upstream and downstream dependencies across DAGs, tables, teams, & tools to understand how issues impact delivery & outcomes.
Data Product SLAs
Set and track expectations for freshness and timeliness, assign ownership, and get notified before critical SLAs are missed.
Predictive Alerting
Proactively detect SLA risks with alerts that surface root causes and show downstream impact — so teams can respond before failures disrupt delivery.
Preview Data Quality
Track data volume, schema consistency, and completeness across warehouse tables with configurable monitors — all linked to pipeline execution for faster resolution.
AI Log Summaries
Accelerate root cause analysis with AI-generated summaries of task failures that highlight what broke, why, and how to fix it — without sifting through logs.
Data Health Dashboard
Monitor data health across all deployments to understand the status of data products and where attention is needed.
Asset Catalog
Automatically capture all pipeline assets, datasets, and tables for complete visibility and easier ownership tracking.
Preview Cost Visibility
Attribute data warehouse spend to the pipelines, tasks, and products that drive it, giving you clear visibility into cost drivers and ways to optimize.
The knowledge layer of your data platform.
Astro's Build, Run, and Observe layers continuously strengthen each other, creating a self-improving foundation. This shared context is captured in Astro AI, grounding every suggestion and action in the reality of your data platform.

Start LearningFrequently Asked Questions
How is Astro Observe different from other data observability tools?
Most observability tools bolt on after the fact, disconnected from where pipelines actually run. Astro Observe is built directly into the Airflow orchestration layer, so you get real-time lineage, task-level insights, SLA tracking, and data quality monitoring tied to pipeline execution. That means fewer blind spots, faster root cause analysis, and no extra integration work.
How can I get access to Astro Observe?
Astro Observe is available directly in Astro. If you're already using Astro to run Airflow, you can enable Observe with minimal setup, just reach out to your Astronomer team or book a custom demo to start the conversation.
Does Astro Observe provide visibility across my entire data stack?
Astro Observe is purpose-built to provide visibility into Airflow pipelines (anything orchestrated by Airflow). It does also connect with Snowflake and Databricks to provide table-level visibility.
