Readme

Amundsen

Amundsen is a data discovery and metadata engine for improving the productivity of data analysts, data scientists and engineers when interacting with data. It does that today by indexing data resources (tables, dashboards, streams, etc.) and powering a page-rank style search based on usage patterns (e.g. highly queried tables show up earlier than less queried tables). Think of it as Google search for data. The project is named after Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, the first person to discover the South Pole.

Amundsen is hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation. It includes three microservices, one data ingestion library and one common library.

amundsenfrontendlibrary: Frontend service which is a Flask application with a React frontend.
amundsensearchlibrary: Search service, which leverages Elasticsearch for search capabilities, is used to power frontend metadata searching.
amundsenmetadatalibrary: Metadata service, which leverages Neo4j or Apache Atlas as the persistent layer, to provide various metadata.
amundsendatabuilder: Data ingestion library for building metadata graph and search index. Users could either load the data with a python script with the library or with an Airflow DAG importing the library.
amundsencommon: Amundsen Common library holds common codes among microservices in Amundsen.
amundsengremlin: Amundsen Gremlin library holds code used for converting model objects into vertices and edges in gremlin. It's used for loading data into an AWS Neptune backend.
amundsenrds: Amundsenrds contains ORM models to support relational database as metadata backend store in Amundsen. The schema in ORM models follows the logic of databuilder models. Amundsenrds will be used in databuilder and metadatalibrary for metadata storage and retrieval with relational databases.
