**Automated Data Lineage for BigQuery.** Fully automated end-to-end data lineage for each data asset in BigQuery, with Atlan.

[See Product Tour](https://atlan.com/context-layer-demo/)

## Auto-constructed data lineage

Atlan automatically parses through your SQL query logs in your data warehouses and BI tools to create a visual view of data lineage. Ensure that every table or column that is derived from a column tagged as sensitive inherits the same classification and security controls via propagation.

Customer quote: "With Atlan, we were able to discover and manage 2,500+ data assets from diverse data sources (i.e., the tables from Snowflake & Postgres, and BI dashboards from Sisense) with over 46,000 columns."
