As the modern data stack has evolved, understanding how each tool and system in your data architecture consumes and processes data has become a complex, often disjointed effort. Today, we commonly see data stacks that have separate tooling throughout each stage of data processing. Using solutions like Coalesce for data transformation brings significant benefits for data engineering teams and organizations, from automating repetitive manual tasks and enhancing productivity to enabling transparency and collaboration on data projects. However, understanding how your data got to Snowflake, or how your data is used after it is transformed using Coalesce alone, is still a manual, time-consuming effort.

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes ubiquitous, it’s reshaping decision-making in ways that go far beyond the scope of traditional business automation. Using a combination of predictive and generative AI, systems can now make tactical, operational, and strategic decisions at scale. They dynamically adjust product prices, recommend your next binge-worthy TV show, and generate sales and marketing content for mass diverse audiences. Yet scaling such AI use cases requires governance frameworks that do more than just manage data—effective AI governance frameworks encompass systems that continuously learn, adapt, and operate with minimal human intervention.
