Prodigy.net is a cloud-native analytics platform that modern teams use to discover, govern, and operationalize data. It connects to your existing tools so analysts, engineers, and business users can collaborate on a single source of truth.
Designed for regulated environments, the platform emphasizes security, lineage, and transparent metrics. By unifying data from warehouses, lakes, and SaaS apps, Prodigy.net helps organizations move faster without sacrificing compliance or trust.

Core Capabilities for Data Teams
Unified Catalog and Discovery
The catalog auto-ingests metadata from Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and common data lakes. Business glossaries and tags let non-technical users find the right dataset in seconds.
Policy-Based Governance
Row-level security, data masking, and column-level policies are defined once and enforced everywhere. Auditors can trace each decision back to the exact policy version and the user who created it.
Collaboration Workflows
Teams annotate assets, propose changes, and approve releases in context. Integration with Slack, Teams, and Jira means feedback flows directly into the data product lifecycle.
Product Architecture and Integration
Metadata Ingestion Layer
A lightweight agent collects table schemas, freshness, and usage metrics without moving data. The result is an up-to-date blueprint that downstream tools can rely on.
Lineage and Impact Analysis
Click any metric to see upstream sources and downstream reports. Visual lineage maps highlight risk paths and the blast radius of a breaking change.
API-First Design
REST and GraphQL endpoints enable custom dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, and automated compliance checks. SDKs for Python and JavaScript let you extend the platform safely.
Operationalizing Data Governance
Quality Rules and Tests
Built-in tests for nulls, duplicates, and referential integrity run on schedule or on demand. Dashboards surface quality trends so teams can prioritize fixes before users are affected.
Cost and Performance Optimization
Query profiling identifies expensive joins and unused materializations. Recommendations for clustering, partitioning, and caching can cut compute spend by significant margins.
Security and Access Management
SAML and OIDC sign-on, SCIM for user provisioning, and per-environment encryption keys align with enterprise security standards. Data never leaves your cloud boundary without explicit consent.
Getting Started and Best Practices
- Run the onboarding wizard to connect your first warehouse and enable lineage.
- Define a small set of core metrics and publish them as certified data products.
- Create guardrails with automated tests for freshness, uniqueness, and access reviews.
- Use the API to embed catalog and quality checks into your CI/CD pipelines.
- Establish a data stewardship program to own glossary terms and approval workflows.
FAQ
Reader questions
Can Prodigy.net connect to our existing Snowflake warehouse?
Yes, it supports native connectors to Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure Synapse, and many data lakes, with read-only credentials for secure environments.
What happens to query performance when using data discovery features?
Metadata queries use minimal compute; heavy aggregations push down to the warehouse so your existing performance profile stays intact.
Does the platform support role-based access control at scale?
Yes, role-based policies, row-level security, and attribute-based rules can be managed at scale through both UI and API.
How does Prodigy.net handle data privacy for personally identifiable information?
Built-in masking, tokenization, and dynamic de-identification allow analytics without exposing raw PII, with configurable rules per jurisdiction.
