________ is a common technique used in monitoring data pipelines to identify patterns indicative of potential failures.

Anomaly detection is a prevalent technique used in monitoring data pipelines to identify unusual patterns or deviations from expected behavior. By analyzing metrics such as throughput, latency, error rates, and data quality, anomaly detection algorithms can flag potential issues such as system failures, data corruption, or performance degradation, allowing data engineers to take proactive measures to mitigate them.
