marmot

Active·★ 623·MIT·Updated 2026-10-20

Marmot is an open-source data catalog designed for powerful data discovery across an organization's entire data stack, including databases, APIs, message queues, and data pipelines. It offers a simple, fast deployment as a single binary with an intuitive UI, making it easy to catalog assets and track lineage without complex enterprise overhead.

marmot sits in the Vision / Multimodal category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Powerful Search for Data Assets. A representative use case is Discover and search all types of data assets across the organization. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 623. Relevant tags include data catalog, data discovery.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
