datalineage-bigquery-asset-impact-analysis

separate

Analyzes the downstream impact (blast radius) using data lineage on Google Cloud when a BigQuery table or view is broken, stale, or modified. Identifies all downstream tables, dashboards, and processes that will be affected. Use when: - Performing a blast radius or impact analysis for a BigQuery table or view. - Assessing the consequences of modifying, deleting, or pausing updates to a BigQuery asset. - Identifying downstream dependencies (tables, dashboards, processes) of a BigQuery asset. Don't use for: - General BigQuery querying or data analysis (use BigQuery-related tools instead). - Non-BigQuery assets (e.g., Cloud Storage files) unless they are part of the BigQuery lineage. - Creating or modifying lineage links directly.

• Identifying downstream dependencies of a BigQuery asset

When not to use

• General BigQuery querying or data analysis
• Non-BigQuery assets unless part of BigQuery lineage
