Atlan Launches App Framework with 21 Leading Partners to Make Context Shareable Across the AI-Native Enterprise

New developer infrastructure turns Atlan’s Metadata Lakehouse into a launchpad for building trusted, context-rich AI-native applications.

Atlan, the active metadata platform trusted by enterprises like Nasdaq, General Motors, FOX, and Workday, today launched the Atlan App Framework, new developer infrastructure that enables partners, customers, and developers to rapidly create and deploy AI-native applications powered by trusted business context.

Built on the industry’s first Iceberg-native Metadata Lakehouse, the App Framework allows developers to tap directly into Atlan’s open, high-performance context store to build integrations, agents, and AI applications without managing complex infrastructure or governance.

The launch is backed by 21 inaugural technology partners spanning governance, quality, observability, and AI risk management — including Alteryx, ALTR, Anomalo, Ataccama, Bigeye, BigID, Dagster, dbt Labs, Elementary Data, Great Expectations, Immuta, Lovelytics, Monte Carlo, Pantomath, Prophecy, Qualytics, Revefi, Sentra, Soda, Tavro, and Trustlogix — all building native apps to run directly on Atlan.

“The future of the data and AI stack will be built on open, composable ecosystems, and context is the connective tissue that makes them work,” said Prukalpa Sankar, Co-Founder of Atlan. “The Atlan App Framework turns the Metadata Lakehouse into a launchpad for innovation, enabling developers and partners to build AI-native apps faster, safer, and with trust built in from day one.”

Inside the Atlan App Framework

The App Framework is developer infrastructure designed to accelerate the entire lifecycle of building AI-native apps on Atlan’s Metadata Lakehouse. It includes:

Standardized APIs to interact with metadata, lineage, governance, and collaboration
Secure runtime environments to execute app logic at scale
Developer tooling — SDKs, CLI utilities, and sandboxes for rapid development
UI extension points for embedding custom experiences directly into Atlan
Reusable components that reduce boilerplate and speed delivery

With these capabilities, developers can build:

Custom Metadata & Context Connectors — Ingest metadata from niche, legacy, or proprietary systems in days, making them discoverable and governable in Atlan
AI-Native Applications — Power RAG, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and RLHF workflows with rich metadata; deploy governance, classification, and quality agents directly in Atlan’s UI
Context-Powered Integrations — Embed Atlan’s governance and quality insights into observability, quality, security, and discovery tools; automate compliance and sensitive-data tagging
Industry-Specific Apps — Deliver pre-packaged governance and quality solutions for regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing

The App Framework as a Game Changer

As enterprises race to become AI-native, the ability to make context shareable across teams, tools, and AI agents is becoming a strategic advantage. The App Framework offers a secure, governed foundation for building and scaling such context-powered applications, ensuring that the same trust and reliability that underpin Atlan’s core platform extend to every partner- and customer-built app.

Early adopters are already building on the framework:

“The Atlan App Framework gave us the extensibility to bring Tavro’s AI risk-classification agents straight into Atlan’s UI, with minimal reconfiguration. Now available in the Atlan Marketplace, these agents work natively within the AI Governance module — streamlining compliance reviews and powering a growing AI-native ecosystem,” said Sunil Soares, CEO and Co-Founder of Tavro AI.

Availability

The Atlan App Framework is currently in Private Preview for partners and customers upon request.

Live demonstrations and the first wave of partner-built apps will be featured at Atlan Activate, the company’s flagship virtual product launch event: https://atlan.com/activate
