}What is Marmot?
Marmot is an open-source data catalog designed for teams who want powerful data discovery without enterprise complexity. Built with a focus on simplicity and speed, Marmot helps you catalog assets across your entire data stack - from databases and APIs to message queues and data pipelines.
Unlike traditional catalogs that require extensive infrastructure and configuration, Marmot ships as a single binary with an intuitive UI, making it easy to deploy and start cataloging in minutes.
