Woven AI automates repetitive data engineering workflows by empowering developers to find, fix, and prevent data issues before code is deployed


What is "code-synced metadata" and why does it matter?

If you're reading these docs, you and your team probably know the massive amount of work it takes to curate trusted, accessible, and governed data for your organization.

Innovating on your product and shipping new features requires that data models evolve to meet business needs. These changes can wreak havoc on downstream stakeholders. Each time this happens, trust is lost.

Unfortunately, as the number of product engineers, data consumers (in Analytics, Ops, Finance, Sales, and more), and compliance requirements grows, the problem gets worse -- much worse! Data Engineering finds themselves constantly fighting fires and chronically understaffed.

"Code-synced metadata" is Woven's solution to ensuring your data descriptions and classifications automatically reflect changes you make to your code. Imagine a world where your schema metadata stays up-to-date as you build and refine your software. With code-synced metadata, you now have a reliable and trusted Metadata Platform that can power data discovery, data quality, data operations, and data governance automation.

Code-synced metadata is the secret weapon for keeping your data trusted, accessible, and governed.

What does Woven do?

At Woven, we love data, but we are definitely NOT in love today's approach to data governance. In fact, we think many of today's data governance products are designed for failure. Today's solutions have centralized data teams who reactively "manage the chaos" once data has been created, sprinting to stay in-sync with upstream data changes while managing stakeholders across the company and praying for "culture change" or top-down mandates... It's exhausting! And it doesn't work! 😫

Woven does not try to manage chaos or strive for culture change -- we build products that make governing data amazingly easy, with a "Data DevX" that's both deeply integrated into the existing software development lifecycle AND dramatically simplified using the power of AI. At the heart of our product, we help software engineers create "self-governing" data by making it exceptionally easy to keep metadata insync with source code changes. We believe that a good data foundation starts with code-synced metadata you can trust.
