Secoda
AI-powered data catalog with automated lineage, search, and governance for modern data teams.
Acquired — still operating
acquired by Atlassian Dec 2025
About
Secoda is an AI-powered data catalog and governance platform: it automatically extracts metadata from your warehouse, BI tools, and pipelines, builds column-level lineage, and lets anyone search and understand data assets through an AI search interface — including agents that answer questions about your data, auto-generate documentation, and monitor data health. It adds data quality tests, version control, access permissions, and a data-request ticketing workflow, positioning itself as catalog plus lightweight observability in one place. Pricing starts around $50–99/month with a free tier for small teams, which undercuts enterprise catalogs substantially. In December 2025 Atlassian acquired Secoda to power structured-data understanding in its Rovo AI platform — expect the roadmap to bend toward the Atlassian ecosystem. As a younger vendor (founded 2021), its integration breadth is narrower than incumbents like Alation or Atlan.
