This is awesome! We did this in-house back in 2014, and it quickly became an unmaintainable mess.

With dbt and Snowflake poised to take over this space, I can see this fitting right in on top of these tools. One idea would be to build in dbt integration into metafold

I'm curious - how did you settle on the pricing? I can see it being a differentiator from Datafold, Supergrain depending on your feature set

Amazing how many companies use dbt + Snowflake right? Such a different world from 2014…

Good idea, we actually do have a dbt integration that pulls in lineage and job metadata from your dbt manifests: https://docs.metaplane.dev/docs/dbt. Eventually we want to let you configure Metaplane tests from your dbt YAML.

Pricing is still in flux to be honest. We wanted to start with a price that was approachable for small teams, comparable to other tools in your stack, and could be paid for without going through a whole procurement process. But we’re trying to stay as flexible on pricing as possible!
