Technical Differentiators That Can't Be Faked
MetaKarta is not a lightweight catalog with lineage. It’s a runtime-aware metadata intelligence engine built to reflect the actual behavior of your data systems. It’s used daily by technical professionals—data engineers, architects, and operations teams—who need answers, not just an inventory.
1
Exact Runtime Mirror of Data Integration & BI Logic
MetaKarta is the only metadata platform that maintains an emulated replica of your data pipelines and BI tools—including:
​
-
Native function parsing, transformation logic, and control flows
-
Runtime variables, job parameters, lookup conditions, filter logic
-
Scripting and mappings from SQL, Python, Scala, PowerCenter, DataStage, Talend, SSIS, SAP Data Services, and more
This enables true debugging and refactoring without executing jobs. Identify logic drift, trace breakpoints, and evaluate changes—without breaking production.
2
Used for Debugging, Refactoring, and Migration
MetaKarta is part of the operational engineering toolset—not a sidecar for documentation.
​
-
Diagnose failed jobs and mismatches between logical and physical transformations
-
Reverse engineer undocumented pipelines
-
Compare versions across dev/test/prod and different tools
-
De-risk migrations by mapping before you move
"We use MetaKarta to validate and troubleshoot pipeline logic—faster and safer than running it live." - VP Data Engineering, Top 5 P&C Insurer

Powered by the Engine Trusted by Microsoft, Informatica, Talend, Oracle, Qlik
MetaKarta is built by Meta Integration, the OEM metadata engine behind the world’s leading data tools.
​
-
Not scraped metadata—not reverse-engineered—this is native, full-fidelity parsing
-
The same engine embedded in major vendors is now exposed for your own use
-
Maintained and enhanced by the team that built it—not a vendor guessing from the outside
Only MetaKarta can guarantee accurate, system-native behavior across integration and analytics stacks.
4
Cross-System Metadata Stitching with Inference Engine
MetaKarta includes a metadata inference engine that automates the stitching of lineage across systems, tools, and environments.
​
-
Uses semantic, structural, and behavioral clues to link related assets
-
Identifies implicit joins, logical groupings, and architectural relationships
-
Creates end-to-end lineage across disconnected tools and platforms
-
Continuously updates as environments evolve
This isn't just lineage. It’s automated system comprehension—critical for impact analysis, auditing, and modernization.
5
Engineered for the Stack, Not the Shelf
MetaKarta isn't a business-facing front-end with some metadata in the background. It’s a core component of the engineering stack:
​
-
Integrated into CI/CD pipelines
-
Used by ops teams for validation before deployment
-
Embedded into refactoring and modernization initiatives
-
Queried by custom scripts and platforms via API
This is live metadata for active work—not stale screenshots for audits. It’s used during implementation, not after it.

The bottom line MetaKarta Excels Where Everyone Else Hits the Wall
Most tools are built for presentations. MetaKarta is built for people who build and require precision.
​
-
Others can’t emulate logic. We do.
-
Others can’t reconcile cross-platform lineage. We infer it.
-
Others decorate. We diagnose, refactor, and debug.
You can’t build, fix, or govern what you can’t truly see. MetaKarta is the visibility layer your engineers need—and everyone else pretends to have.
