Data Positioning System - The GPS for Your Data Lake

This presentation is about our internal Data 360 product called DPS. We do not call it a data catalog intentionally because it's much more than a data catalog. It gives users and platform owners a 360-degree view of the data in their Data Platform all in one place via a simple search-driven UI.

We brought together Data Assets, Columns, Data Movement Jobs, Users, Infrastructure, operational data, and even documentation and help about the Data Platform into one pane of glass. All of this is presented via a very simplified, interactive, and easy-to-understand interface. A lot of information about Data Assets like lineage, impact analysis, operational metrics, quality metrics, and regulatory metrics all come together in one place.

With this presentation, we also want to share how we overcame the Metadata culture hurdle, how we built this ourselves, and how we innovated using graph type data model without a graph database, etc.
