Technical lineage is a detailed lineage graph that shows how data transforms and flows from source to destination across its entire lifecycle. It enables you to easily discover where tables and columns are used and how they relate to each other.
Fivetran is a fully managed ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) platform that automates the entire process, including setup, schema management (schema drift), and incremental updates. Collibra Data Lineage uses Fivetran REST APIs to retrieve lineage from Fivetran. The resulting technical lineage does not include transformation details.
Currently, technical lineage for Fivetran is supported for the following data sources:
- Azure Synapse
- Databricks
- Google BigQuery
- Google Sheets, MySQL
- PostgreSQL
