OpenMetadata

Use it when

• self host a data catalog with lineage governance quality tests and discovery
• give engineers and analysts one evidence-backed view of databases dashboards pipelines and owners

What it solves

Not the fit when

• production deployment and connector credentials require additional hardening beyond the local Compose quickstart

Install

wget https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml && docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up --detach

Invoke

Open the local UI, add database, dashboard, messaging, and pipeline services, run ingestion, then search assets and inspect lineage, owners, glossary terms, tests, and usage.
