Unify Orchestration + Cataloging in Dagster

Dagster offers a built-in data catalog integrated directly into its orchestration platform, eliminating the need for standalone catalog tools. By using Software-defined Assets as the source of truth, teams get real-time metadata, column-level lineage, and a unified view of all data assets. Key benefits include reduced tool fatigue, faster onboarding, better cross-team collaboration, and elimination of duplicated work. Dagster+ extends this with advanced cataloging features like column-level lineage tracking, external asset integration, and democratized data access for enterprise teams.
