In week one. Not year one.
01
Analysts query every source in place from one SQL console — no ETL ticket, no copied data.
02
Column-level lineage answers 'what breaks if I change this' before the change ships.
03
A metric defined once in the semantic model matches everywhere it appears, from BI to agents.
And the Databricks renewal stops being a line item — the replacement is an asset you own. Run your numbers →

What sets it apart
No-copy federation: query every source in place without moving a row
One semantic layer consumed by SQL, NLQ, REST, GraphQL, Kafka, MCP, and agents
Column-level lineage with OpenLineage export and impact analysis
Kafka-native streaming backbone with CDC, schema contracts, and DLQ visibility
Key Capabilities
Federated Sources
No-copy federation across Postgres, Snowflake, Salesforce, S3, and internal APIs. Push-down query execution where the source supports it.
SQL Console
Federated SQL editor with run history, result preview, and one-click promotion to governed virtual views.
Semantic Model
Entities, dimensions, and metrics defined once — consumed identically across SQL, NLQ, agents, and the REST surface.
Data Catalog
AI-enriched discovery with sensitivity classification, quality tiers, tag-based facets, and usage-based ranking.
Streaming Backbone
Kafka-native CDC with schema contracts, consumer-group lag monitoring, dead-letter queues, and tiered storage.
Column Lineage
End-to-end lineage from source to dashboard with OpenLineage export, impact analysis, and change blast-radius.
Who it’s for
Federated SQL across every source, visual pipeline builder, and column-level lineage — replace six vendor consoles with one.
One semantic model consumed by BI, agents, and dashboards. Define a metric once, trust it everywhere.
Kafka-native streaming backbone with CDC topics, schema contracts, and consumer-group lag — observability for the data plane.
Perpetual Licence
OwnData is available as a perpetual licence. You own the software forever. Deploy on your infrastructure. No annual renewals, no per-seat pricing, no vendor lock-in. Prefer OpEx? A managed subscription is available too — switch between the two anytime, nothing to re-buy.
Every screen here also works without the screen.
OwnData implements the Own360 headless spec: a standard /api/v1 surface with OpenAPI, cursor pagination, idempotent writes, and entity.changed events — drivable from its own CLI, any HTTP client, MCP tools generated straight from its OpenAPI, and the OwnAgents runtime.
$ owndata entities # 6 entities
$ owndata dataset list --limit 20
$ owndata dataset create --data '{…}'
$ owndata domain run_queryThe generated OwnData CLI — every entity and domain op, OwnAuth-authenticated, idempotent by default.
