Hey there, Great to see Marmot here and I'm a huge fan of your project. Recently, we deployed a catalog but we went with open-metadata https://open-metadata.org/ another amazing project.

What we missed on marmot was existing integrations with Airflow and other plugins like Tableau, PowerBI etc as well as other features such as sso, mcp etc.

We're an enterprise and needed a more mature product. Fingers crossed marmot reaches there soon.

That's great to know, I wasn't aware anybody even attempted to used it yet! I'm currently in the process of overhauling the Plugin system, it's been quite hard to test some enterprise closed-source integrations like Tableau and Snowflake to build out plugins.

SSO is sort kind of available, but undocumented, it currently only supports Okta but I'm working on fleshing out a lot of this in the next big release (along with MCP)

We gave it a proper deployment and were blown away by the speed but in the end we need a lot of features. SSO/SAML is really important for not just access but also governance. We also miss the Snowflake and dbt plugin among others.

I saw the plugin system but having never written any production ready go code, it doesn't make sense to just use an LLM to generate code and pull requests which you then need to spend time reviewing.

Marmot is a wonderful project and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
