# Getting Started
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Welcome to Collate's unified platform for data discovery, observability, and governance! Our platform centralizes all
|
|||
|
|
the context around your data to help you build high-quality and AI assets. This guide gives you all the information you
|
|||
|
|
need to set up your Collate environment in 30 minutes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## How Does Collate Work?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Collate is designed for both technical and non-technical data practitioners to work together across a broad set of use cases,
|
|||
|
|
including data discovery, lineage, observability, quality, collaboration, governance, and insights.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A library of 80+ turnkey connectors is available to easily ingest metadata into Collate, such as data warehouses, data lakes,
|
|||
|
|
streaming, dashboards, ML models, and more. APIs are also available to easily ingest metadata from custom data sources.
|
|||
|
|
Metadata from these different sources is organized into a Unified Metadata Graph, which provides a single, comprehensive
|
|||
|
|
source of truth across your entire data estate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This centralized information is surfaced through a unified user interface for all your use cases so that different data
|
|||
|
|
practitioners no longer need to switch between different data catalogs, quality, or governance tools. Additionally,
|
|||
|
|
Collate can be extended through the application ecosystem, such as with AI productivity applications like MetaPilot,
|
|||
|
|
or with customer-built workflows to integrate Collate with your existing systems. These capabilities are built around
|
|||
|
|
native collaboration capabilities for shared workflows across different teams so that every data practitioner can work
|
|||
|
|
together: data platform, data governance, data scientist/analyst, and business user.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
