Build with Atlan
The Atlan App Framework enables developers to create custom solutions, automations, and integrations that extend Atlan's functionality. Using metadata APIs, the Application SDK, and a managed runtime environment, you can build AI assistants, compliance workflows, custom connectors, and applications that operate on your metadata lakehouse. Applications deploy and run directly within Atlan's infrastructure, allowing you to use custom solutions alongside existing capabilities. The framework supports both organization-specific customization and developing reusable solutions for broader distribution.
