Atlan crawls Snowflake metadata—databases, schemas, tables, views, and procedures—and builds column-level lineage from query history automatically. The crawler also imports Snowflake Horizon object tags and synchronizes them bidirectionally with Atlan.
Catalog Snowflake databases, schemas, tables, views, and more in Atlan. Gain visibility into lineage, usage, and governance for your cloud data warehouse assets.
