Lineage Lenses

Teams Feature

What is it?

Lenses make it easier to understand your project’s contextual metadata at scale, especially to distinguish a particular model or a subset of models

Simple Explainer

It's like layers on Google Maps. Do you want the satellite view, the street view, the biking view? View your project's lineage in different ways (eg models that failed their most recent build, heat map of what is used most, etc)

What Functional Requirement Does it Satisfy?

Data Pipeline Visibility / Dependency Management (Model-Level)

How it Reduces Cost

The Model Query History lens can show you where you are building tables that aren't used so you can reduce refresh frequency or remove from your project

How it Helps Data Teams Ship Faster

They can inspect the materialization type and model layer to more quickly know what part of the lineage to build off of

How it Helps Orgs Build Trust in Data and Teams

You can see test and model status across all your jobs in 1 view. The lense view will show the latest status across all jobs within a project
