How Postman Fixed a Missing Layer in Our Data Stack
Blog post from Postman
Upon joining Postman's data team, the author encountered significant challenges in navigating and understanding the company's data due to a lack of consistency and transparency, leading to repeated questions and a loss of trust in the data. As Postman scaled, the need for a democratized data system became evident, prompting the team to embark on a project to improve data accessibility and understanding. Initial solutions involved documenting data in Confluence and creating a data dictionary in Google Sheets, but these efforts faced challenges in scalability and documentation quality. Ultimately, the team adopted Atlan, a modern data workspace, which successfully provided a single source of truth, improved data discovery, and reinstated trust by ensuring consistency in data metrics. This has not only addressed immediate discovery issues but also set the stage for tackling larger data challenges like data lineage, aiming to enhance data awareness and drive data-driven decision-making across the company.
