Cloud data platforms are becoming more complex every day. With more sources, higher expectations and tighter governance, traditional, code heavy approaches struggle to keep pace, creating systems that are costly to scale and hard to manage.


By using metadata effectively, organisations can automate the repetitive, scale efficiently and prepare for AI driven workloads. Metadata driven platforms aren't a new thing, it's about how we apply that experience in more complex cloud data environments.


Our whitepaper, Why Metadata is the Foundation for Modern Cloud Data Platforms, explores how this approach simplifies delivery, strengthens control, and accelerates value. It also introduces CF.Cumulus, our open-source metadata framework that helps put these ideas into practice.
