Argus: Centralized Metadata Management

In today's data-centric world, efficient metadata management is crucial for organizations to unlock the true value of their data. Introducing the Argus (Data observability platform) built on top of Unified Metadata Catalog (UMC), a comprehensive solution designed to revolutionize metadata management practices. Argus offers a centralized framework for managing and coordinating all types of metadata, including technical, business, governance, operational, collaboration, quality, and usage metadata, within the entire data ecosystem.

Argus addresses common challenges in metadata management, such as metadata extraction, storage, and quality assurance. By leveraging AWS ECS, Argus automates metadata extraction from various data sources, ensuring a unified and consistent metadata repository. This solution enhances data discoverability, understandability, and quality, making it an indispensable tool for data stewards and analysts.

One of the standout features of Argus is its ability to accelerate the metadata registration process by up to 70%. This feature significantly reduces manual effort and increases efficiency, allowing organizations to focus on deriving insights from their data. Additionally, Argus integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, providing a cohesive and streamlined data governance ecosystem.

With Argus , organizations can achieve better control and collaboration over their data assets, ensuring data quality, lineage, and observability. This solution empowers data-driven decision-making and enhances business outcomes by providing a comprehensive view of the data landscape.

Argus leverages AWS RDS for UMC sstorage, and primarily interacts with Cognito for access integration and ECS/Fargate for service containers executions
