# Marmot
**Discover any data asset across your entire org in seconds**
_Open-source catalog for all your data assets. Search everything - tables, topics, queues, buckets, and more._
[Documentation](https://marmotdata.io/docs/introduction) • [Live Demo](https://demo.marmotdata.io) • [Deploy](https://marmotdata.io/docs/Deploy) • [Community](https://discord.gg/TWCk7hVFN4)
## What is Marmot?
Marmot is an **open-source data catalog** designed for teams who want powerful data discovery without enterprise complexity. Built with a focus on simplicity and speed, Marmot helps you catalog assets across your entire data stack - from databases and APIs to message queues and data pipelines.
Unlike traditional catalogs that require extensive infrastructure and configuration, Marmot ships as a **single binary** with an intuitive UI, making it easy to deploy and start cataloging in minutes.
### Built for Modern Data Teams
- **Deploy in Minutes**: Single binary, Docker, or Kubernetes - no complex setup required
- **Powerful Search**: Powerful query language with full-text, metadata, and boolean operators
- **Track Lineage**: Interactive dependency graphs to understand data flows and impact
- **Flexible Integrations**: CLI, REST API, Terraform, and Pulumi - catalog assets your way
- **Lightweight**: PostgreSQL-backed with minimal resource requirements
## Features
### Search Everything
Find any data asset across your entire organisation in seconds. Combine full-text search with structured queries using metadata filters, boolean logic, and comparison operators.
---
### Interactive Lineage Visualisation
Trace data flows from source to destination with interactive dependency graphs. Understand upstream and downstream dependencies, identify bottlenecks, and analyse impact before making changes.
---
### Metadata-First Architecture
Store rich metadata for any asset type. From tables and topics to APIs and dashboards.
---
### Team Collaboration
Assign ownership, document business context, and create glossaries. Keep your entire team aligned with centralised knowledge about your data assets.
