Metaplane

Metaplane by Datadog is an end-to-end data observability platform for data teams that need to detect, understand, and resolve data quality issues across modern warehouses and the full analytics lifecycle.

Key capabilities include:

• ML-based anomaly detection to catch silent issues and account for seasonality and trends, plus no-code monitors and dimension-based monitoring within tables
• End-to-end column-level lineage and downstream impact analysis to trace relationships from production sources through transformations to BI usage, with automatic stack discovery
• Data CI/CD for validating changes in pull requests with automated regression and impact tests, including PR comments and checks for dbt workflows (GitHub and GitLab)
• Data insights and cost visibility via warehouse usage analytics to understand how data gets queried and help reduce waste

Pricing: Freemium, including a free plan and pay-for-what-you-monitor usage-based pricing.

Notable for combining four pillars of observability (metrics, metadata, lineage, logs) and for its April 2025 acquisition by Datadog, positioning it as part of a unified observability approach across software and data systems.
