- Atlan is a virtualized solution that extract metadata from source systems via pushdown queries or API requests. Atlan only persists metadata in our platform.
- Atlan does process data with our Sample Data and Query functionality, however both of these features can be turned off if required.
- Atlan does push down queries when sample data or query functionality is used. This means that the result is not cached or stored by Atlan.
- Atlan integrates into your data sources via a Service Account that typically has read-only permissions to the data source, and the customer is in control of these permissions.
