Syncing Metadata from Source

Bring metadata maintained in your data sources directly into the Decube Catalog — reducing duplication and keeping your catalog aligned with the source of truth.

Decube can ingest metadata that already exists in your connected data sources and surface it in the Catalog — so your team doesn't have to maintain the same information in two places.

All syncs are one-way (source → Decube) and read-only within the platform. Synced metadata is refreshed on every metadata ingestion run.

The following metadata types can be synced from supported sources:

  • Descriptions — sync asset descriptions (schema, table, column) from Snowflake or Redshift. Requires configuration at the data source level to enable.

  • Snowflake Tags — automatically ingest Snowflake tags as System-Managed Attributes in the Catalog. Applies to Snowflake only.

  • Column Keys & Constraints — sync column-level constraints (NOT NULL, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY) from Snowflake datasets. Applies to Snowflake only.
