AgileData Feature #03 – Catalog Browse and Search

Data Persona’s can use the Catalog to quickly search, find and access the Data Assets (Tiles) they need to complete a data task, such as supporting the development of Information Products or using the data for analysis.

Topic Tags and Dynamic Filtering allows Data Assets to be easily found using the Organisations business terminology.

With the Menu Anywhere capability they can drill out to any other screen in the AgileData App, retaining the context of the Tile, removing the need to go to the screen and manually searching for that Data Asset again.

Any time a data user performs a data task in the AgileData App, or an automated data task is executed on the AgileData Platform, the Catalog is automagically updated. The Catalog data is treated as a first class citizen, not as data exhaust.

The Catalog is part of a wider ensemble of features that let them search or browse to locate essential Data Assets quickly, view comprehensive details for each set of data, and track the flow of data similarly to parcel tracking.

ELT without persisted watermarks ? not a problem
ELT without persisted watermarks ? not a problem

We no longer need to manually track the state of a table, when it was created, when it was updated, which data pipeline last touched it …. all these data points are available by doing a simple call to the logging and bigquery api. Under the covers the google cloud platform is already tracking everything we need … every insert, update, delete, create, load, drop, alter is being captured
