🎉 What’s new

The Atlan Lakehouse makes all of your Atlan context available through an open, Iceberg REST–compatible catalog so you can easily build AI applications and drive analytical reports on your data estate. Today, it stores detailed metadata about all assets across your data estate, as well as usage analytics data on how users interact with Atlan.

We're excited to announce a new gold namespace in the Atlan Lakehouse – a curated namespace in the Lakehouse catalog that consists of standardized, refined tables that make it easier than ever to build AI apps and reports on asset metadata.

✨ Let’s dig deeper

• The Lakehouse namespace that contains asset metadata today (entity_metadata) is effectively a bronze layer for Atlan metadata: comprehensive and highly detailed, but harder to work with when you just want to analyze asset metadata.
• The new catalog-native gold namespace gives you a small set of refined, analytics-ready tables with just the fields you need, making it much easier to build AI apps and reports on asset metadata.
• The entity_metadata namespace remains the raw, bronze source of truth for catalog metadata, while the gold namespace is the curated consumption tier you use for reporting, dashboards, and AI.
• The gold namespace follows a star schema design, with:
  • A core assets table (fact table) that lists every asset in the data estate along with common attributes like name, type, status, owners, and certification, and
  • Complementary domain-specific tables (dimension tables) that contain detailed columns for specific areas such as data quality, data products, and glossary analytics.

👏 Give it a shot

Make sure the Atlan Lakehouse is enabled in your workspace, and then connect to it from your preferred Iceberg REST–compatible client. You'll be able to see a new gold namespace alongside the existing namespaces in the catalog!

Note: Ensure your users can view and select from the tables in the gold namespace by granting them the correct platform-native RBAC permissions.
