Governance

Pipeline Registry

The governance dashboard maintains a canonical registry of all production pipelines. Each pipeline has a unique ID, owner, status, and drift status. The registry is the source of truth for which pipelines are active and healthy.

Schema Drift Detection

The governance system continuously monitors registered schemas for drift. When a schema changes upstream without a corresponding pipeline update, the drift detector flags the pipeline and alerts the owner. Drift events are categorized by severity: info, warning, or critical.

Audit Logging

Every governance action is recorded in the audit log. This includes pipeline creation, schema registration, drift detection, drift resolution, and access events. The audit log is immutable and queryable for compliance reporting.

Access Control

Altius supports four roles: admin, engineer, reviewer, and viewer. Each role has specific permissions for creating pipelines, registering schemas, reviewing proposals, and viewing audit logs. Role-based access control ensures only authorized users can make changes.
