# What is Dwh.dev? ## **Dwh.dev - next-gen data lineage for Snowflake** We provide a unique data lineage solution built especially for Snowflake users. [**Dwh.dev**](https://dwh.dev) is designed to help data teams easily understand, document, and manage their data flow. With [**Dwh.dev**](https://dwh.dev), you can search and visualize your data lineage, track data dependencies issues, and better understand your data pipelines. It's a perfect solution for data engineers, analysts, and scientists who want to boost their productivity and efficiency. It's easy to start: any type of [**integration**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations) takes about a few minutes! ## **How does it work?** [**Dwh.dev**](https://dwh.dev) is based on a static analyzer.\ We parse SQL, then compile it into an internal representation and analyze it **automatically**. We don't use information from Snowflake system tables, which allows us to provide features such as: * [**Snowflake Marketplace (Native App)**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/snowflake/snowflake-marketplace-native-app): always up-to-date lineage without external dependencies * [**Offline mode**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/snowflake/offline-mode): building data lineage without a direct connection to your database. * [**In-query lineage**:](https://docs.dwh.dev/features/data-lineage/in-query-lineage) visualizing the dependency graph within a query. * [**Equals lineage**](https://docs.dwh.dev/features/data-lineage/equals-column-lineage): displaying a hidden dependency graph based on conditions in `JOIN` and `WHERE`. * [**QUERY\_HISTORY analysis and schema change tracking**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/snowflake/snowflake-marketplace-native-app/query_history-analysis-and-schema-change-tracking) * [**CTAS cost management**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/snowflake/snowflake-marketplace-native-app/ctas-cost-management) * [**CTAS logic change tracking**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/snowflake/snowflake-marketplace-native-app/ctas-logic-change-tracking) * [**CTAS logic change alerting**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/snowflake/snowflake-marketplace-native-app/ctas-logic-change-alerting) * And much more. You can access the parsing and compilation results through [**our API**](https://docs.dwh.dev/integrations/api-offline-mode). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
