# 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).
