Act on Metadata Overview

DataHub's metadata infrastructure is stream-oriented, meaning that all changes in metadata are communicated and reflected within the platform within seconds.

This unlocks endless opportunities to automate data governance and data management workflows, such as:

Automatically enrich or annotate existing data entities within DataHub, i.e., apply Tags, Terms, Owners, etc.
Leverage the Actions Framework to trigger external workflows or send alerts to external systems, i.e., send a message to a team channel when there's a schema change
Proactively identify what business-critical data resources will be impacted by a breaking schema change
