This Guidance demonstrates how to trace and better understand your data lineage in Amazon QuickSight. It does this through a combination of AWS services that replace complex scripting with an AWS CloudFormation template. This allows you to visualize and analyze the usage and relationships of data sources and datasets. Previously, complex scripts were required to trace connections between these assets. QuickSight assets needed manual evaluation to validate migration. Manual checks of dashboards were also needed when evaluating changes in data schemas, filters, parameters, or visuals. This manual process did not scale well and risked production failures by missing impacted dashboards. With this new automated architecture, you can reduce the time spent tracing QuickSight data lineage from weeks to minutes.
