Understand Data Product Marketplace

Alation Cloud Service Applies to Alation Cloud Service instances of Alation

The Alation Data Product Marketplace app provides a way for you to create trusted, accessible, and reusable sets of data to use with AI, applications, dashboards, or other integrations. The app is available for Alation Cloud Service through the New User Experience or through APIs.

The Data Product Marketplace (DPM) is an Alation platform that allows users to:

  • Discover data products that are designed for reuse

  • Understand what data is available and how to use it

  • Trust that the data they find is compliant and well-governed

  • Set and govern standards required to list data products

Marketplace Governance

Each marketplace enforces its own:

  • Minimum standards (what a product must have to be listed)

  • Optional certifications (what a product may earn if it exceeds the basics)

  • Role-based permissions (who can view, list, approve, or remove products)

This ensures that only useful and trustworthy products are shown to consumers. If a product doesn’t meet the minimum standard, it won’t appear in search—even if it exists.
