Gitlab-Collibra Integration Accelerator: Governing Development Lifecycle

Introduction:

The Gitlab-Collibra integration governs the lifecycle of custom assets, expanding Collibra's utility beyond data governance to cover assets like Datasets, SQL Scripts, APIs, ML Models, and access policies. For Further Information, please email us at : [email protected]

Challenges in Development Lifecycle Governance:

?? Centralized Governance Platform:

Absence leads to uncontrolled access to project repositories.

?? Communication Gaps:

Initiating development in Collibra requires external notifications, like emails.

?? Synchronization and Updates:

Lack of real-time synchronization and updates between Collibra and Git repository.

?? Awareness and Visibility:

Governance team in Collibra lacks awareness of Git repository project development status.

?? Management Visibility:

Higher management needs source-code repository details for understanding development status.

?? Turn-around Time:

Increased time between logical development initiation (Collibra) and repository creation (Gitlab).

Integration Solution:

?? Automated Collibra Workflows:

Triggered by Gitlab updates, reducing manual intervention.

?? Project Attributes Specification:

Define in Collibra; automatically create a skeleton project in Gitlab.

?? Webhook Integration:

Establishes two-way communication between Collibra and Gitlab.

?? Efficient Label Usage:

Categorizes project phases (Develop, Publish, Deprecate, Retire) in Gitlab.
