We'll cover:

🎉 Secoda Monitoring for all!
Monitor and simplify your entire data stack - Secoda Monitoring is live and in your workspace. Try setting up your first monitor by following these steps.
What can monitoring help you do?
💰 Understand your cost drivers. Identify costly pipelines and data assets, and be alerted immediately if cost thresholds are exceeded.
🔍 Increase data observability. Set monitors to keep track of data freshness, row count, and more.
✅ Ensure data quality. Monitor data cardinality, uniqueness, nullness, and more to make sure your data is accurate.
✨ Track whatever you desire. Set up custom monitors by writing your own SQL query, and keep tabs on what your team needs the most.
Consolidate your tools and understand the health of your data, pipelines, and infrastructure with Secoda Monitoring.
📚 Decoding the world of data catalogs
Companies produce more data than every before, yet ~73% of enterprise data is untapped. How do we make this data usable? Enter: data catalogs.
A data catalog should be 3 things:
1️⃣ A way to discovery and make your data more accessible
2️⃣ An easy to use resource for both data and business stakeholders
3️⃣ Future-proof and built to scale
We just released a new guide to help you understand and choose the right catalog for your organization.
In detail, we walk though:
📓 The function of a data catalog
🤝 Who benefits from implementing a catalog
🏬 How to choose the right option for your org
🔑 The key factors that take a catalog from helpful to invaluable

🥂 The first NYC Data Leaders Forum
This week, some of our Secodians (Secoders? We're still working on it - ) ventured to NYC to meet with customers, and host the first NYC Data Leaders Forum, with Datafold and Brooklyn Data Co. (a Velir company).
We had a great evening at Katana Kitten with plenty of food, drinks, good data conversation, and in-person community building.
👀 Where should we go next?
And that's a wrap! Thanks for tuning into another week at Secoda.
This time next week? 👋
