Data products

A data product groups the assets one team publishes for others, so people find them together. Buyer 360 might bundle the buyers table, the dim_buyer model, a session feature set and a retention dashboard, and someone looking for buyer data finds all of them in one place instead of hunting through the catalog.

Create a data product​

Open Data products in the sidebar and select Create data product. Give it a Name, the Owners people should ask about it and a Description of what's in it and who it's for:

New data product with the name Seller payouts, Admin User as owner, a description, and Pick assets and Add rule under What is in itNew data product with the name Seller payouts, Admin User as owner, a description, and Pick assets and Add rule under What is in it

Under What is in it, add assets now or later. Tags and Metadata are optional. Select Create data product.

Add assets​

A data product holds assets in two ways, and most use both:

  • Pick assets adds specific assets by hand. It suits a known set that doesn't change often.
  • Add rule includes every asset that matches a query. Assets join when they start matching and leave when they stop, so the product keeps up as the catalog changes.

A rule on the product's Rules tab, with the plain-language match above the query and the number of assets it adds:

The Rules tab of Marketplace KPIs with a rule named KPI assets matching @tag: kpi and adding 2 assetsThe Rules tab of Marketplace KPIs with a rule named KPI assets matching @tag: kpi and adding 2 assets

For example, @tag: "kpi" includes everything tagged kpi, and @type: "topic" AND @provider: "kafka" includes every Kafka topic.
