Astronomer Acquires Datakin, the Data Lineage Tool

Astronomer has acquired Datakin, a data lineage tool developed by the founders of the OpenLineage and Marquez open-source projects, to enhance the visibility and operational awareness of data ecosystems. This acquisition aims to integrate Datakin's capabilities into Astronomer's modern data orchestration platform, powered by Apache Airflow, enabling organizations to trace and visualize data lineage through pipelines and enhance their ability to manage reliable data ecosystems. Datakin provides end-to-end operational visibility, allowing teams to resolve and prevent data issues by tracing data lineage and tracking changes over time. Founded by Laurent Paris and Julien Le Dem, Datakin is built around the open-source frameworks OpenLineage and Marquez, offering a comprehensive view of distributed data systems. Astronomer, founded in 2018 and a steward of the Airflow project, provides a platform that empowers data teams to build, run, and observe data pipelines with a focus on developer productivity, observability, and flexibility. The collaboration between Astronomer and Datakin promises to bring new product developments as they enhance data orchestration capabilities.
