Metaplane

Metaplane is a data observability platform for data teams — automated anomaly detection, data quality monitoring, column-level lineage, schema-change alerting and data CI/CD across Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, ClickHouse, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, S3, dbt, Airflow and the major BI tools. Metaplane learns the normal behaviour of every monitored table with an ML model and raises grouped incidents when volume, freshness, nullness, uniqueness, cardinality or a custom SQL metric drifts out of bounds. It exposes a REST API of 23 operations over connections, monitors, monitor evaluations, datapoint ingestion and tags, documented on a ReadMe developer portal, plus outbound incident webhooks and a free local CLI for visualising dbt runs. Metaplane was acquired by Datadog in April 2025 and continues to operate as a standalone product surface.

Metaplane publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Connections API, Monitors API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include AIOps, Data Observability, Data Quality, Anomaly Detection, and Data Lineage.

The Metaplane catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Metaplane’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 29 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/metaplane: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
