Enable Lakehouse
The Lakehouse enables you to instantly run SQL queries, build dashboards, and power AI applications directly on Atlan metadata without creating pipelines or data extracts.
This tutorial walks you through how to enable Lakehouse for your Atlan workspace so you can start running queries on your Atlan metadata.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure:
- You have the Admin or Workflow Admin role in your Atlan workspace.
Enable lakehouse
To start using the Lakehouse, you first need to enable it through the Atlan Marketplace.
-
In your Atlan workspace, click New in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.
-
From the dropdown, select Workflow.
-
In the Workflow page, open the Marketplace tab.
-
In the search bar, type Lakehouse and select it from the list.
-
Click Enable. When prompted, enter your tenant name in the format
company.atlan.com, and then click Confirm.
After you click Confirm, setup may take a few hours to complete, depending on your data volume. You’ll receive a notification in Atlan once the Lakehouse has been successfully enabled.
Next steps
After the Lakehouse is enabled for your workspace, you can use any Iceberg REST-compatible client to start querying your metadata. Lakehouse uses Apache Polaris (incubating) as its Iceberg REST catalog, so you can connect using:
- Snowflake: Connect Snowflake to Lakehouse
- Spark: Configure Spark with an Iceberg REST catalog
- Trino: Use the Trino Iceberg connector with an Iceberg REST catalog
If you use an engine that currently doesn't support querying external Iceberg REST catalogs (such as Databricks or Google BigQuery), please reach out to your Atlan Customer Success team.
