Frequently Asked Questions
What is a data catalog?
A data catalog is a searchable inventory of your organization's data assets. It includes metadata like descriptions, ownership, data quality scores, and lineage information—making it easy for anyone to find and understand your data.
Why is data lineage important?
Data lineage shows where data comes from and how it transforms as it flows through your systems. This is critical for debugging issues, understanding impact of changes, compliance audits, and building trust in your data.
What tools do you use for metadata management?
We work with tools like dbt (for transformation lineage), DataHub, Atlan, Alation, and custom solutions. The right choice depends on your stack, budget, and how much automation you need.
How do you keep documentation up to date?
We build documentation systems that auto-generate from your actual data structures and code—not manually maintained documents that go stale. This includes automated schema docs, dbt docs, and lineage extraction.
Can you document existing systems we didn't build?
Yes, we regularly document and reverse-engineer existing systems. We interview stakeholders, analyze code and queries, and create comprehensive documentation from scratch.
