Overview
DataHub, originally from LinkedIn and now stewarded by Acryl Data, is an open-source metadata platform for data discovery, lineage, and governance. It builds a searchable catalog of your datasets, dashboards, and pipelines with column-level lineage so teams can find data and understand where it came from. Data engineers and platform teams at organizations with sprawling data estates who want a governance and discovery layer are the audience. The open-source core is free but self-hosting takes real effort, which is where the managed Acryl Cloud option comes in. Strong lineage and extensibility are what distinguish it from lighter catalog tools.
