What We Do
Built by a data team for data teams, Atlan is the active metadata platform for the modern data stack. It stitches together metadata from various sources (Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Looker, Tableau, Postgres, etc.) to create a unified data discovery, cataloging, lineage, and governance experience across all your data assets, from columns and queries to metrics and dashboards. Atlan facilitates a two-way movement of metadata, bringing context back into the tools and workflows that your data team uses every day — for example, in your BI tool when you wonder what a metric on the dashboard means.
A pioneer in the space, Atlan was named a Leader in Forrester Wave™️: Enterprise Data Catalogs for DataOps in 2022 and was recognized by Gartner seven times in 2021, including as a Cool Vendor in DataOps and in the inaugural Market Guide for Active Metadata Management. Today, we power pioneering data teams like WeWork, Plaid, Postman, Unilever, and Ralph Lauren. We recently raised a Series B, backed by top investors (including Insight Partners, Sequoia, and Salesforce Ventures) and founders & CEOs from the modern data stack (including Snowflake, Looker, and Stitch).
