Announcing the Public Availability of the Atlan App Framework
Last Updated on: August 29th, 2025 | 4 min read
As of August 29th, the Atlan App Framework is publicly available for all customers, partners, and developers. This release makes Atlan’s Metadata Lakehouse fully programmable, allowing teams to build applications, automations, connectors, and AI-native workflows directly on top of Atlan’s context layer.
The framework introduces a consistent way to access metadata, lineage, policies, and collaboration signals, and to use this context as part of an app’s execution logic. This enables developers to extend Atlan without managing separate infrastructure or governance.
What the App Framework Includes #
The App Framework provides core developer infrastructure:
- APIs for interacting with metadata, lineage, governance, and collaboration
- Secure runtime environments to execute app logic at scale
- Developer tooling (SDKs, CLI utilities, and local sandboxes)
- UI extension points to embed new components or workflows inside Atlan
- Reusable components that simplify common app patterns
This allows teams to build:
- Custom metadata apps (including metadata connectors)
- AI-native applications that use metadata in RAG, fine-tuning, or governance workflows
- Integrations that bring Atlan’s governance and quality signals into other tools
- Industry- or domain-specific automations and packaged workflows
Growing Ecosystem: 21 Partners Building on the Framework #
The public release is supported by apps developed by 21 inaugural build partners, including Alteryx, ALTR, Anomalo, Ataccama, Bigeye, BigID, Dagster, dbt Labs, Elementary Data, Great Expectations, Immuta, Lovelytics, Monte Carlo, Pantomath, Prophecy, Qualytics, Revefi, Sentra, Soda, Tavro, and Trustlogix.
These apps run natively on Atlan App Framework, using the Metadata Lakehouse as a shared context layer. Below are a few examples of what partners have already built.
Examples from the Ecosystem #
Ataccama: Data Quality Signals in Atlan’s Context Layer #
Ataccama has built a native integration that brings its automated data quality intelligence directly into Atlan’s core metadata experiences.
- Data quality rules continue to be defined and managed in Ataccama.
- Atlan automatically surfaces Ataccama’s trust signals inside search, lineage, glossary, and data product views.
- Data consumers can evaluate quality and reliability without switching tools.
This enables faster issue detection, clearer impact analysis, and more consistent quality signals across data and AI workflows.
As Ataccama describes it: stewards set the rules in Ataccama, and consumers immediately see quality context in Atlan — reducing risk and improving decision-making.
“The team here at Ataccama is excited to be a launch partner for the new Atlan App Framework. Two great companies, one shared mission: helping enterprises unlock trust and value from their data in a truly customer-first way.” — Jay Limburn, Chief Product Officer, Ataccama
“Integrating with Atlan through their new App Framework was incredibly smooth! The infrastructure made it easy for us to bring the power of Ataccama’s DQ engine directly into Atlan’s context layer in a truly seamless way, creating a clear value for both Data Consumers and DQ Stewards. Working with the Atlan team has been a pleasure, and we’re excited to continue growing our partnership.” — Mariia Bondarenko, Senior Product Manager at Ataccama
Tavro: AI Risk-Classification Agents #
Another early adopter, Tavro AI, used the App Framework to bring AI risk-classification agents into Atlan’s UI with minimal re-architecture:
“The Atlan App Framework gave us the extensibility to bring Tavro’s AI risk-classification agents straight into Atlan’s UI with minimal reconfiguration. Now available in the Atlan Marketplace, these agents work natively within the AI Governance module.” — Sunil Soares, CEO & Co-Founder, Tavro AI
Why This Matters for Enterprises #
With the App Framework:
- Partners can deliver deeper integrations than standard build frameworks prevalent in the ecosystem today.
- Customers can extend Atlan with custom logic and automations, as well as build metadata connectors for any custom data & AI tooling.
- AI agents and applications can incorporate business and governance context directly from the Atlan Metadata Lakehouse.
This allows organizations to standardize on a single layer of trusted context across their data, governance, and AI ecosystems.
