Why augment Snowflake with data lineage?
Snowflake is often used to generate reports, applications, or other relational databases, so an auditable blueprint of its data lineage can provide huge benefits. With automated lineage gathering, business outcomes are boosted and migration benefits are gained by reducing the time and cost of transferring data to Snowflake.
