About

MetaplaneΒ ensures everyone trusts the data that powers your business. Data teams at Bose, Ramp, and Klaviyo use our data observability platform to prevent and detect data issues β€” before the CEO pings them about weird revenue numbers. We do this with ML-based anomaly detection, end-to-end column-level lineage, and tools to help prevent incidents before they occur. You can monitor your entire data stack within 30 minutes. The company is backed by Khosla Ventures, Y Combinator, and the founders of Okta, HubSpot, and Vercel.

Metaplane is a data observability platform that helps modern data teams monitor data quality, lineage, and usage across the data stack. It emphasizes end-to-end visibility from sources to BI tools, automated alerts, and data CI/CD to prevent issues before they impact the business.

Metaplane provides end-to-end data observability with: 1) monitoring and anomaly detection to catch issues, 2) end-to-end column-level lineage from sources to BI tools, 3) data insights to understand who uses data and how often, 4) automated data CI/CD to prevent quality issues in PRs, 5) automated alerts with targeted notifications, 6) integrations with data warehouses (BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, Redshift, Snowflake, AWS S3), ingestion and transformations tools (Airbyte, Fivetran, dbt Cloud/Core, transactional DBs), BI tools, and orchestration tooling (Jira, Airflow), 7) operating inside Snowflake via a native app to execute monitors without data leaving the warehouse.

Who it’s for: Data teams and data platforms seeking unified observability, data quality, lineage, and CI/CD capabilities for modern data stacks in enterprises and growing teams.
