Data Lineage for Transformations and Tables in CDF?

Hi team,

I am looking for a way to trace data lineage in CDF. For example, if we have a table in RAW that feeds another table through a Transformation, is there a straightforward way to see where that data is being used downstream?

Basically, I want to understand how to track which tables, transformations, or data products depend on a particular RAW table. Any native feature or recommended approach for this in CDF?

Thanks!

Hi ​@RamanDubey!

Unfortunately, there's no native way to visualize this information in the platform today. As a workaround, you could programatically parse the SQL of your transformations to identify which transformations read from the particular RAW table you're interested in.

However, the good news is that we're actively working on enabling native lineage support in 2026. This will allow users to understand data lineage natively in the platform without having to manually introspect transformations or other resources.
