Lineage you can actually read

The new graph view collapses 200-node pipelines into the five hops that matter.

Lineage you can actually read

Lineage graphs are usually accurate and unreadable. A real workspace has 200 views and the graph looks like a bowl of noodles.

Start from the number

The new view starts from a single value on a dashboard and walks back to the raw events that produced it. Everything that did not contribute is folded away.

  • Hops are grouped by stage: ingest, transform, serve.

  • Each hop shows its freshness and last change.

  • One click opens the SQL that produced it.

In testing, engineers found the source of a wrong number in a median of 48 seconds, down from 11 minutes with the full graph.
