Metaplane

Metaplane is an end-to-end data observability platform, now part of Datadog, that catches silent data quality issues before they affect the business. It offers monitoring and anomaly detection that uses machine learning to account for seasonality and trends, suggested monitors for important tables, schema change alerts, end-to-end column-level lineage from sources to BI tools, data insights into how data is used, and Data CI/CD that runs automated regression and impact tests on pull requests with GitHub, GitLab, dbt Core, and dbt Cloud. Metaplane states it only accesses metadata, does not store data or access PII, and is SOC 2 Type II compliant. The page lists integrations with data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and ClickHouse, transformation and ingestion tools, BI tools, and alerting tools such as Slack, MS Teams, and Jira. It also offers free dbt and Snowflake tools and a Snowflake native app.
