## What is it about

Automatically map, understand, and govern your data landscape. Built for the modern API platforms and data mesh era. Turn raw data into smart, self-managing domains.

Modern Data Management comes with a lot of challenges & barriers that hinder innovation and collaboration:

<ul>
  <li>Data silos and fragmentation of ownership between teams</li>
  <li>Modeling and management of slow and manual changes</li>
  <li>Inconsistent data contracts and undocumented APIs</li>
  <li>Limited visibility on relationships between domains, entities, and fields</li>
  <li>Governance overload and compliance risks</li>
</ul>

## Concretely?

**databakery** aims to bridge the gap between technology, business, and strategy professionals with a clear, streamlined, and extremely understandable interface.

Powerful edition capabilities make is easy to work on a model, and to **collaborate** with other stakeholders.

<br />

**databakery** is AI native: you can leverage all the latest AI technologies to help you model your domains.

<br />

At the heart of **databakery** is a super simple (and extensible) metamodel that offers numerous advantages:

* Each project is supported by a simple git repository that you host, not databakery.

* Integrating databakery into a global chain is child's play.
