Dataplex
Intelligent data to AI governance
Centrally discover, manage, monitor, and govern data and AI artifacts across your data platform, providing access to trusted data and powering analytics and AI at scale.
Features
Data to AI governance with Vertex AI and Dataplex
Instantly discover AI models, datasets, features, and related data artifacts you need in a single search experience, spanning projects and regions while adhering to IAM permissions. Use Dataplex to enrich AI artifacts with critical business metadata for informed decision-making, such as ownership, key attributes, and relevant context.
Data governance in BigQuery
To support the end-to-end data lifecycle and make it easier for customers to manage, discover, and govern data, we’re bringing Dataplex capabilities directly into BigQuery, including data quality, data lineage, and profiling. Now you can apply data governance directly to your data without leaving BigQuery.
Gen AI powered insights and semantic search
Jumpstart your analytics with a curated list of questions that you can ask of your data. Harnessing the power of metadata and cutting-edge Gemini models, Data Insights generates tailored queries to uncover hidden patterns and valuable insights from your data. Semantic Metadata search for data helps you discover data using the language of your choice. Users have the ability to search for data assets using natural language queries, eliminating the requirement to recall search syntax and qualifiers.
Simplified data discovery with Data Catalog
Automate data discovery, classification, and metadata enrichment of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, stored in Google Cloud and beyond, with built-in data intelligence. Manage technical, operational, and business metadata, for all your data, in a unified, flexible, and powerful Data Catalog. Enrich metadata with relevant business context using a built-in business glossary. Easily search, find, and understand your data with a built-in global, faceted search.
End-to-end data lineage
Easily understand where your data comes from and the transformations it goes through with end-to-end data lineage. Automatically processed for Google Cloud data sources and extendible to third-party data sources.
Automated data quality
Use automatically captured data lineage and built-in data profiling to better understand your data, trace dependencies, and effectively troubleshoot data issues. Automate data quality across distributed data and enable access to data you can trust.
How It Works
Dataplex enables you manage, monitor, and govern data and AI artifacts across data lakes, warehouses and databases. It helps users intelligently establish data profiles, assess data quality, determine data lineage, classify data, organize data into domains, and manage and govern the data life cycle.

Build a data mesh

Use Dataplex to build a data mesh
A data mesh is a strategy where data ownership is decentralized and handled by domain data owners, where distributed datasets across locations can improve data accessibility and operational efficiency. Dataplex helps logically organize your data and related artifacts into a Dataplex Lake, or a data domain, that enables you to unify distributed data and organize it based on the business context.
