# Coalesce

> Coalesce is the data operating layer for analytics and AI. The platform provides visual governance with full code access, giving data engineers and architects full column-level lineage, automated documentation, and metadata-driven transformation across Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Microsoft Fabric. Coalesce has three products: Transform (automated SQL pipeline development with CLI, Git, and visual DAG interface), Catalog (AI-powered data catalog with column-level lineage, semantic layer, and governance workflows), and Quality (data observability and monitoring directly embedded in the transformation layer). Coalesce was named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Metadata Management Solutions and is ranked as an industry leader on G2 and Gartner Peer Insights.
