View data lineage in DataHub Limited availability

Data lineage is a map of how each of your data assets moves across your systems. Lineage can help you:

  • Understand your data flows at a glance, even in complex architectures.
  • See which downstream systems would be affected before you change a dataset.
  • Trace data-quality problems or failures back to their source.
  • Build trust by showing stakeholders and auditors where data came from.

When you connect Aiven services to your Aiven for DataHub service, DataHub automatically builds this map of your data assets. In DataHub, data assets are called datasets.

note

External services that you connect to DataHub are not shown in the data lineage.
