**TLDR:** An approach that continuously monitors the health, latency, volume, and failure behavior of data pipelines.

<p>Pipeline observability makes it possible to understand not just whether data flows are running, but how healthy they are. Increases in latency, drops in record volume, unexpected null rates, or job failures are all tracked as part of this discipline. Without it, data issues are often discovered only when they surface in end-user reports. Strong observability helps data teams resolve problems earlier and at lower cost.</p>
