Metaplane Data Observability Platform

## Overview

Metaplane's native app for Snowflake brings end-to-end data observability directly into your Snowflake environment. Using machine learning, we help data teams prevent, detect, and resolve data quality issues before they impact critical business initiatives like AI/ML projects. Running directly within your Snowflake environment, our app ensures data security while providing end-to-end visibility across your data stack. You can get access to Metaplane under your existing Snowflake subscription/contract.
