The solution to discoverability and tracking of data lineage is to incorporate a metadata repository into your data platform. The metadata repository serves as a data catalog and a means of reporting on the health and status of your datasets when it is properly integrated into the rest of your tools.

Data volume and velocity, governance, structure, and regulatory requirements have all evolved and continue to. Despite these limitations, data warehouses, introduced in the late 1980s based on ideas developed even earlier, remain in widespread use today for certain business intelligence and data analysis applications.
