🎉 What’s new

As a data engineer or analytics developer, you’ll want this update because it helps you track and understand how dbt seed files flow into your data pipeline — with automatic context and lineage. Previously, dbt seeds were invisible in Atlan even though they acted like models — creating tables and feeding downstream logic — they didn’t show up in lineage, metadata, or descriptions. That left key logic disconnected from the rest of your dbt project. Now, Atlan treats seeds as first-class citizens in your dbt integration. With this enhancement, seed files are no longer hidden helpers — they’re fully visible, documented, and connected across your data stack.

✨ Let’s dig deeper

This update makes seeds behave just like models and sources inside Atlan — so the people who rely on your data get the full story.  Atlan treats seeds as first-class citizens in your dbt integration. That means:

• Seed files are catalogued & searchable.
• Seed files enrich your materialized assets metadata.
• Seed files are now visible in synthetic lineage as well as what they materialized in technical lineage.
