Spotlight on Data Platform Teams:

Data Discovery and Governance

This team is responsible for the broader data discovery and metadata strategy at Netflix. We aim to provide visibility to the taxonomy and business context of all Netflix datasets (including video assets, unstructured logs, etc). We have built a Netflix-wide data catalog to capture and infer business metadata across all datasets at Netflix. We own the Distributed Search and Lineage Infrastructure to efficiently discover data and track data movement across different data stores. We have built a customizable data detection framework that samples, detects, and reports violations across all datasets which gives us holistic insights into the risk profiles and quality of our data. We also provide an extensible policy engine framework that allows our stakeholders to customize data policy rules for all datasets.
