Case Study: Vendr builds a lean, trusted data stack with Metaplane

How Metaplane, Snowflake, and dbt help Vendr run a lean and adaptable data team

V They needed to quickly onboard new data consumers, centralize data from numerous sources, and proactively ensure trust in their data without breaking existing systems. The vendor, Metaplane, was implemented as part of their data observability solution to help monitor data health and quality.

By integrating Metaplane with their Snowflake and dbt cloud stack, the Vendr data team gained comprehensive observability, including monitoring for dbt job runs, data freshness, and upstream schema changes. This allowed them to proactively catch and fix data quality issues before they affected downstream reports. The solution from Metaplane saved the team approximately eight hours of engineering time per week and was crucial in building a culture of trust in their data from the beginning.
