## Introduction

DataHub is an open-source metadata platform for the modern data stack. Read about the architectures of different metadata systems and why DataHub excels [here](https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2020/datahub-popular-metadata-architectures-explained). Also read our
[LinkedIn Engineering blog post](https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2019/data-hub), check out our [Strata presentation](https://speakerdeck.com/shirshanka/the-evolution-of-metadata-linkedins-journey-strata-nyc-2019) and watch our [Crunch Conference Talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB-O0Y6OYDE). You should also visit [DataHub Architecture](docs/architecture/architecture.md) to get a better understanding of how DataHub is implemented and [DataHub Onboarding Guide](docs/modeling/extending-the-metadata-model.md) to understand how to extend DataHub for your own use cases.

## Quickstart

Please follow the [DataHub Quickstart Guide](https://datahubproject.io/docs/quickstart) to get a copy of DataHub up & running locally using [Docker](https://docker.com). As the guide assumes some basic knowledge of Docker, we'd recommend you to go through the "Hello World" example of [A Docker Tutorial for Beginners](https://docker-curriculum.com) if Docker is completely foreign to you.

## Demo and Screenshots

There's a [hosted demo environment](https://datahubproject.io/docs/demo) where you can play around with DataHub before installing.
