Hey everyone, I've been digging into ways to better track data lineage and manage governance in our systems. There's a bunch of tools out there, but not all seem to fit well or are easy to use. Would love to hear what y'all are using or recommend! Also, if anyone has tips on making governance smoother, please share!

I've tried a few platforms but honestly, it's tough finding one that integrates well with everything. Some are just too complicated.
Data lineage tracking is a lifesaver when you gotta audit data or troubleshoot issues. Can't imagine working without it now.
Does anyone integrate data lineage tools with CI/CD pipelines?
Any recommendations for training folks on using these governance and lineage tools?
How do you handle data lineage for multi-cloud environments? Seems tricky.
Has anyone checked out Collibra? Heard it's quite popular for data governance with lineage features.
I recommend looking into some AI-enhanced tools recently. They help automate a lot of the lineage detection and governance.
For those who switched tools, how was the migration process? Painful or smooth?
Any advice on getting started for small teams with limited budget?
What about cloud providers? Anyone using AWS or Azure tools for this? Wondering how they stack up.
For governance, it's not just tools but also policies and culture. Tools help but you gotta have buy-in from the top.
We struggled with messy data catalogs before but after implementing automated lineage tracking, it's way easier to trust the data.
For real-time lineage, anyone found a tool that handles streaming data well?
Anyone here used open source options? Would love to avoid pricey licenses but still need solid lineage tracking.
Is metadata management part of lineage tracking or separate?
Just curious, how do you guys visualize your data lineage? Any tools that do it nicely?
