Okera was a data access governance and data security platform providing fine-grained, attribute-based access control, data discovery and classification, dynamic masking, and audit for analytics and machine-learning workloads across data lakes and warehouses. Founded around 2016, Okera was acquired by Databricks in May 2023 and folded into the Databricks governance stack (Unity Catalog). Okera no longer operates as an independent product: the okera.com domain now 301-redirects to databricks.com, and there is no standalone Okera developer portal, documentation, or public API surface remaining. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as an acquired-company record.
Okera is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Developers, Data Governance, Data Security, and Access Control.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
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/okera: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
