DataHub Cloud
DataHub Cloud automatically captures data lineage and presents downstream impact in real time.
What DataHub Cloud is
DataHub Cloud automatically captures data lineage and presents downstream impact in real time. Its interactive view traces field transformations from a source to a dashboard, with filters for owner or time and drill-down from tables to columns. DataHub says it extracts column-level dependencies from databases, pipelines, data lakes, dbt models, and BI dashboards without manual mapping. Before a change is deployed, it can show dependent dashboards, models, and owners; tags and descriptions added to a source table can propagate to downstream assets. Its connector directory lists more than 150 data and AI integrations, including BigQuery, Databricks, dbt, Snowflake, Tableau, and Airflow. It supports OpenLineage through a native REST endpoint and Spark event listener plugin. The 21-day free trial includes a managed cloud instance, sample data, full platform access, and guided implementation support. The product lists a 99.5% uptime SLA, multi-cloud deployment support, and SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure. Pricing is on request and depends on data volume, users, and capabilities.
