Schematic Versioning
Every pipeline lives as a versioned drawing. Diff revisions line by line, tag releases, and roll back a bad change as easily as reverting a sheet.

DWG NO. 001 — DATA INFRASTRUCTURE
Draft your data pipelines like blueprints.
DraftLine is the design, versioning, and observability workspace for data engineering teams. Draw a pipeline, review it like an engineering drawing, and ship it with lineage baked in.

SEC. 02 — FEATURES
Version-controlled infrastructure, drawn to spec.
Every pipeline is a reviewed, revision-tracked drawing — not a pile of scripts.
End-to-End Lineage
Trace any column from dashboard back to source with edge-level lineage, captured automatically as your draft compiles to production.

Live Pipeline Telemetry
Freshness, volume, and latency gauges rendered on the drawing itself — annotate thresholds before they become 3 a.m. pages.

SEC. 03 — HOW IT WORKS
From pencil to production in three operations.
- 01
Draft
Draw sources, transforms, and sinks on the grid. DraftLine compiles your schematic into production-grade code as you work.
- 02
Review
Open a markup pass: reviewers stamp dimensions, flag constraints, and comment directly on nodes — all tracked against REV numbers.
- 03
Deploy
Ship with one stamp of approval. Deploys are staged, diffable, and reversible, with lineage and telemetry live from the first run.
SEC. 04 — FIELD REPORTS
Reports from the field.
We redrew our 214-table warehouse migration as DraftLine schematics and shipped in six weeks — the previous estimate was five months. The lineage view alone paid for the year.
When an upstream feed broke at 2 a.m., the drawing showed the blast radius in seconds and the incident closed in 40 minutes instead of four hours. Auditors now get revision history, not Slack archaeology.
SEC. 05 — PRICING
Priced like a drawing set.

SEC. 06 — FAQ
Specification questions.
Where does DraftLine store our data and metadata?
Schematics and metadata live in your chosen region — US, EU, or AP — and pipeline data never touches DraftLine: we read contracts, not rows. Enterprise workspaces can pin residency per project.
Which sources and tools does it integrate with?
Native connectors for Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, Kafka, dbt, and Airflow, plus a REST API and a Terraform provider for anything homegrown.
How does schema versioning work in practice?
Every save creates an immutable REV. DraftLine diffs columns, types, and constraints line by line, flags breaking changes before review, and rolls back with one click.
