Snowflake is a cloud-built data warehouse that delivers elasticity and data sharing across multiple clouds.
Why CastorDoc x Snowflake makes sense?
Snowflake is a cloud-based data platform that provides a data warehouse-as-a-service designed for high-performance analytics and large-scale data workloads. Similar to Vertica, finding the most relevant data assets in Snowflake quickly and efficiently can be a challenge, and understanding the lineage between data warehouse tables and other assets like reports or dashboards is not straightforward. CastorDoc, designed to optimize the search for relevant data assets thanks to popularity and advanced filtering options, and providing lineage between data warehouse tables and other assets, can address these challenges. Therefore, integrating CastorDoc with Snowflake makes sense as it will enhance the user experience by making it easier to find relevant data assets quickly, understand their lineage, and ultimately trust and have visibility in the data. This will enable businesses to make better decisions faster, which is critical in today's fast-paced world.
How does CastorDoc x Snowflake integration work?
Similar to the Vertica integration, CastorDoc ingests metadata from Snowflake. This metadata includes table & column names and descriptions, frequently run queries, frequent users of data assets, data lineage links, data quality tests, last data table update, technical and business tags, and more. CastorDoc organises this metadata in an intuitive to use interface for both technical and business users. The ingestion process takes about 30 minutes to set up, and the metadata is available in CastorDoc the next day. It is important to note that CastorDoc does not access the data itself, only metadata. This ensures that your data stays safe and secure while CastorDoc delivers as much value as possible.
API Access: if any metadata element is not available in CastorDoc's native integration, you can ingest it with our comprehensive API.
