Connect Amazon Athena to Lakehouse
Connect Amazon Athena to Atlan's Lakehouse using AWS Glue Catalog Federation. Setup registers Atlan's Iceberg REST Catalog as a federated data source in Lake Formation, making Lakehouse tables available to Athena and other AWS query engines.
Connect BigQuery to Lakehouse
Connect BigQuery to Atlan's Lakehouse to query catalog metadata from BigQuery SQL. Setup requires a GCP Cloud Resource connection, a service account grant from Atlan Support, and a Python script that creates the external tables.
Connect Databricks to Lakehouse
Connect Databricks to Atlan's Lakehouse using foreign Iceberg tables in Unity Catalog to query metadata. Setup creates storage credentials and an external location pointing to Atlan's Lakehouse data in your cloud storage.
Connect PySpark to Lakehouse
Connect PySpark to Atlan's Lakehouse through the Iceberg REST catalog with Polaris credential vending. Credential vending automatically issues short-lived cloud storage credentials for each request without requiring hardcoded storage access keys.
Connect query engine
Get your Lakehouse connection details and connect your preferred Iceberg REST–compatible client
Connect Snowflake to Lakehouse
Connect Snowflake to Atlan's Lakehouse using Snowflake's catalog-linked database feature to query metadata in standard SQL. Setup creates a catalog integration that links Atlan's Iceberg REST Catalog to Snowflake.
Create your context repository
Describe your domain in the Context Engineering Studio chat window and let the agent search your Atlan data graph, identify relevant assets, and bootstrap a context repository with a semantic model, skills, and verified queries.
Deploy extension to your organization
Learn how to deploy the Atlan browser extension across your organization using managed browsers and MDM software on macOS and Windows.
Deploy to Databricks Genie
Deploy a context repository in Context Engineering Studio to Databricks Genie. CES pushes descriptions into Unity Catalog, creates one Metric View per table, and configures a Genie Space. On Databricks, deploying is part of the build cycle because Chat and build and Simulate run on the live Genie Space.
Deploy to Snowflake Cortex Analyst
Deploy a context repository from Context Engineering Studio to Snowflake Cortex Analyst as a Semantic View. Grant access to your business users, verify the view in Snowflake, and monitor live query traces in the Observe tab.
Enable anomaly detection
Enable ML-based anomaly detection on a Snowflake table to automatically monitor row count and freshness without manual thresholds.
Enable embedded metadata in Tableau
Learn how to enable embedded Atlan metadata in Tableau dashboards for seamless data context and governance.
Enrich metadata on asset collections
Step-by-step guide to triggering AI-powered metadata enrichment using context agents in Context Agents Studio.
Export certified assets via email
Export a filtered set of certified assets from Atlan as a CSV file and deliver it directly to email recipients. The Asset export (advanced) app lets you share governance summaries and asset inventories with stakeholders who don't have direct Atlan access.
Get started
Get your Lakehouse connection details from Atlan and configure any Iceberg REST–compatible client to start querying your metadata. Setup requires credentials from the Lakehouse Marketplace view in Atlan.
Grant Databricks permissions
Grant the Unity Catalog and workspace permissions Context Engineering Studio needs to deploy a context repository to Databricks Genie. Required at deploy time. On Databricks, Simulate also runs on a live Genie Space, so simulating requires a first deploy.
Grant Snowflake permissions
Grant the Snowflake permissions Context Engineering Studio needs to deploy a certified context repository to Snowflake Cortex Analyst. Required only at deploy time. You can connect, build, and simulate without them.

Install and set up browser extension
Learn how to install and configure the Atlan browser extension in Chrome or Edge, connect it to your Atlan workspace, and set up custom domains for your data tools.
Run simulations
Simulations in Context Engineering Studio run autogenerated question sets on your context repository to surface where it answers well, where it misses, and the specific descriptions, joins, filters, or assets to add next.
Set up lineage tables
Create helper lineage tables in your warehouse for advanced lineage queries that include direction (upstream/downstream), hop level, and asset names. These tables work with Lakehouse's native LINEAGE_ADJACENCY_LIST table.
Use Atlan browser extension
Learn how to use the Atlan browser extension to access metadata in-flow inside your data tools, search Atlan from any webpage, and link web pages as resources to assets.
