🌊 Introducing Atlan Lakehouse

Atlan captures rich context about assets across your data estate, including definitions, tags, ownership, usage, and lineage, which you can use to answer core governance and adoption questions with confidence. 

Historically, teams have had to wait hours or days to export this metadata from Atlan, load it into their compute platform, and only then start building reports or AI applications to understand how their data estate is being used.

Atlan Lakehouse is a new way to work with Atlan. We now store this rich context about your data estate in an open, interoperable lakehouse that’s instantly accessible from your preferred engines, so you can build dashboards and AI applications on Atlan context immediately, without custom exports or pipelines.

🎉 What's new

You can now enable Lakehouse for your Atlan tenant via Atlan’s App Marketplace and start building dashboards and AI applications on your Atlan context in minutes.

✨ Let’s dig deeper

Atlan Lakehouse is an Apache Iceberg–based data lakehouse that contains everything Atlan knows about your data estate, exposed through an Iceberg REST catalog that your engines can query like any other source.

Just like the rest of Atlan’s platform, Atlan manages the infrastructure behind the scenes so you can focus on connecting your warehouse and building reports, dashboards, and AI applications. Once Lakehouse is enabled, you can instantly power AI and advanced analytics with rich Atlan context:

• Treat metadata like data
  Unify technical, business, governance, and operational signals in a high-performance repository that can feed AI models, contextual search, and agentic workflows across your stack.
• Answer governance and adoption questions easily
  Answer questions like “What percentage of assets are documented or tagged?”, “Which domains have the most stale tables?”, or “Where are critical data quality gaps?” directly from Snowflake or other supported engines – without building export jobs.
• Use your preferred Iceberg REST–compatible engine
  Use any Iceberg REST-compatible engine (for example Snowflake, Spark, Trino) so Atlan context shows up alongside your existing data sources and follows the same analytics patterns you already use.

👏 Give it a shot

If you are an Admin on Atlan, you can enable Atlan Lakehouse for your tenant:

1. In Atlan, go to Workflows > Marketplace.
2. Find the Atlan Lakehouse app tile.
3. Click Enable. We'll notify you when your Lakehouse is ready.

Once your Lakehouse is ready, you can connect any Iceberg REST-compatible engine and start building dashboards and AI applications on your Atlan context.
