What Atlan Lakehouse is
Atlan Context Lakehouse is a knowledge architecture for storing, managing, and serving the context AI agents need to work at enterprise scale. Its architecture combines a knowledge graph, Iceberg-native file storage, vector-native search, and time travel. Context can be accessed through MCP, A2A, SQL, and APIs. Atlan says its agents can draw on the Enterprise Data Graph to create asset descriptions, connect business terms, and surface business questions. Native connectors cover data platforms, databases, BI tools, ETL pipelines, orchestrators, and data quality tools, including Snowflake, BigQuery, Tableau, dbt, and Airflow. Developers and partners can build additional connectors and apps with the Atlan App Framework. Connectors read metadata such as schemas, lineage, ownership, and timestamps; source data remains in its original systems. Atlan recommends single-tenant SaaS and lists AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform as hosting options. Its self-deployed runtime runs in the customer environment and requires additional enablement and licensing. Pricing is on request, and no free trial is offered.
