Case Study: How Xometry Uses Select Star's Column-Level Lineage to Eliminate Data Outages
Key results
The challenge
Xometry's AI-driven pricing platform spans multiple systems and lacked automated column-level lineage to track where data originated. Data outages disrupted reporting, causing business delays and human error, with data inaccuracies the company estimates cost millions of dollars every month.
The solution
After evaluating multiple tools, Xometry integrated Select Star's automated column-level lineage into its CI pipeline for real-time visibility into data flows across tables.
“it's easy to see where data comes from and flag issues in real time”

The results, in context
The data-engineering team saved more than 200 hours and made data debugging about 36x faster. Engineers gained visibility into downstream impacts and shifted from reactive troubleshooting to proactive data management, avoiding outages despite weekly pipeline updates.
