What can ADL do for you?

ADL provides a flexible integrated metadata management tool that helps data teams design, deliver, and maintain data solutions without the repetitive grind. Define your metadata once, pair it with templates, and let ADL generate the code, documentation, and deployment scripts you need — across any platform.

No vendor lock-in

Your metadata is stored as open-format JSON files in your own repository. Your templates use open-source languagess. Everything stays portable and under your control.

Works with your stack

SQL Server, Snowflake, PostgreSQL — ADL doesn’t care where your data lives. Define connections to any platform and generate output tailored to each one.

Version-controlled by design

All metadata and templates live as files in your repo. Use your normal branching, code review, and CI/CD workflows — nothing changes about how your team works.

Starter designs

Flexibility can be powerful, but can also be overwhelming at first. ADL contains various sample or starter architectures for common scenarios. Get started quickly with conceptual or logical designs, or deliver data solutions using Data Vault, Persistent Staging Areas, and more. Customize them or build your own from scratch.
