Why You Should Automate Mapping Data Lineage With Streams

Automating data lineage mapping is crucial for organizations to efficiently manage and comply with standards like BCBS 239 and GDPR, and graph databases, particularly Memgraph, offer advanced capabilities in this domain. Memgraph supports streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka, Redpanda, and Apache Pulsar, allowing for real-time data integration, reliable operations, and the separation of extraction and transformation concerns. By utilizing user-defined transformation modules in Python or C++, Memgraph facilitates the processing of incoming messages, which streamlines the ingestion of lineage data and mitigates the complexity associated with one-size-fits-all transformations. This approach not only simplifies data ingestion but also enhances the reliability and real-time processing of complex, multi-component data systems, making data lineage mapping a more manageable and automated process.
