Connect the sources you already own
Discover tables, files, streams, and APIs through scoped connections. Establish what each source provides and how it should be refreshed.
Data Infrastructure. Turn connected records and files into reusable datasets. Keep their source, quality, freshness, and access rules visible wherever the data is used.
Illustrative workflow with synthetic data.

Read the transcript and visual descriptionsDiscover tables, files, streams, and APIs through scoped connections. Establish what each source provides and how it should be refreshed.
Keep source inputs available for replay and reconciliation. Transform the data without losing the material it came from.
Normalize source shapes and connect them to canonical business objects, including the relationships downstream work depends on.
Give a dataset an explicit shape, owner, and quality expectations so other teams can build on a maintained output.
Inspect when data arrived, how it changed, and which consumers depend on it. Make incomplete or stale inputs visible.
Query datasets, feed pipelines, supply model inputs, and build object-backed applications under the access policies of the workspace.
Ten sensor readings become nine usable output rows under a reviewed quality policy. The malformed reading stays visible in the source.
Inspect Tacoma Port telemetry, including an invalid timestamp and a separate stale reading. Preparation starts with the observations as received.
Open the nine-row snapshot produced by reviewed release v2. Its publication and build are available for inspection; the newer blocked draft is a separate version.
Trace the output to the source and the policy that permits one quarantined row. Check freshness and quality before using the data in another decision.

In practice
A lithium readiness check needs dependable telemetry. Data Infrastructure keeps the original ten readings, the reviewed transformation, and the published nine-row snapshot connected. An analyst can see what was excluded and why, while an operator can still find the stale reading that keeps a shipment on hold.
