Case Study: Etsy improves data discovery and governance with DataHub

Etsy scales metadata management for 11,000+ datasets with DataHub

Etsy, an e-commerce marketplace, faced a significant data discovery challenge as its legacy self-built data catalog could no longer scale with its growth. It was difficult for users to find trusted datasets across their complex data landscape, which relied on tribal knowledge. To address this, Etsy implemented DataHub Cloud.

DataHub provided a solution with strong integrations for Etsy's data sources like BigQuery and MySQL, along with data lineage capabilities. The implementation successfully migrated over 600 users, consolidated tools, and scaled data coverage to more than 11,000 datasets. DataHub enabled Etsy to eliminate its legacy system dependencies and establish a foundation for improved data governance.
