DataHub is an open source metadata platform that helps organizations discover, understand, and trust their data assets at scale. It models data as a richly connected graph spanning datasets, dashboards, pipelines, ML features, and services, so users can explore relationships like lineage and ownership across tools and domains. The platform focuses on continuous metadata ingestion from many sources, treating metadata as a stream that stays fresh as systems change. A modern web UI and search layer make it easy for analysts, engineers, and stewards to find assets, read documentation, and see context such as usage, schema history, and downstream impacts. Governance features such as glossaries, tags, ownership, and policies bring order and accountability without blocking day-to-day work. APIs and SDKs enable teams to integrate DataHub into catalogs, CI pipelines, and automation so metadata becomes part of the development lifecycle rather than an afterthought.
