In May, we launched Scout, our always-on data SRE.
Scout acts like a seasoned data engineer. It remembers every past issue, understands the structure of your 2,000-model dbt project, and can connect code, business logic, and git commits in seconds.
It’s already running in production with some of the top data teams, helping them identify smarter tests, automatically triage issues, and suggest precise fixes directly in code.
You can learn more at synq.io/scout or book a demo at synq.io/book-a-demo.
What's new in SYNQ this month
Scout is available in beta
Our always-on data SRE agent is live with top data teams such as Aiven and has already triaged and debugged hundreds of issues. This helps teams save time and significantly reduce their backlog of issues.
We’re pretty excited about the results already. In one case, an anomaly monitor flagged a sharp drop in row count. Within seconds, Scout figured out it was caused by a deliberate code change, pinpointed the matching git commit, and recommended marking the issue as expected. It was so accurate that we had to double-check no one had stepped in manually.

Trino integration
Integrating SYNQ with Trino lets you monitor and manage data reliability and quality directly within your Trino environment.
Once connected, SYNQ automatically maps your datasets, tracks key metaata like row counts and timestamps, and detects anomalies as they happen.
Iceberg integration
Integrating SYNQ with Apache Iceberg enables you to monitor and manage data reliability and quality directly within your Iceberg-powered data lakehouse.
Once connected, SYNQ automatically maps your tables, tracks key metadata like row counts and timestamps, and flags anomalies as they happen.
