Governing data movement with the Fivetran Metadata API

What's this blog post about?

The Fivetran Metadata API enables governed data movement by providing enhanced visibility into where the data came from, who accessed it and what changes have occurred in the pipeline. This allows customers to integrate Fivetran into their existing governance tools and processes, retrieve Fivetran’s metadata about data moving through the pipeline, visualize where the data comes from in lineage graphs, and share information about the data being loaded by Fivetran into a data catalog. The API also helps data analysts understand the origin of data, ensures secure handling of data for data stewards, assists security and legal teams with compliance checks, and supports data architects and engineers in understanding upstream schema changes.
