Tracking metadata changes in multiple data stores and generating alerts for detected data impacts

A computerized method for generating alerts based on detecting impact of metadata changes, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a change impact engine, metadata change data from a plurality of data stores, the metadata change data associated with changes to metadata of the plurality of data stores;
• recording the received metadata change data to a centralized metadata change data structure, the centralized data structure being stored by the change impact engine;
• applying at least one change impact rule based on at least one metadata change pattern to the recorded metadata change data, the at least one change impact rule enabling detection of metadata change patterns associated with changes to the metadata of the plurality of data stores, the at least one metadata change pattern comprising at least one cross-platform metadata change pattern;
• and
• upon detection of an impact of the changes to the metadata across the plurality of data stores based on the applied at least one change impact rule, generating an alert based on the applied at least one change impact rule.

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions for generating alerts based on detecting impact of metadata changes that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• receive, by a change impact engine, metadata change data from a plurality of data stores, the metadata change data associated with changes to metadata of the plurality of data stores;
• record the received metadata change data to a centralized metadata change data structure, the centralized data structure being stored by the change impact engine;
• apply at least one change impact rule based on at least one metadata change pattern to the recorded metadata change data, the at least one change impact rule enabling detection of metadata change patterns associated with changes to the metadata of the plurality of data stores, the at least one metadata change pattern comprising at least one cross-platform metadata change pattern;
• and
• upon detection of an impact of the changes to the metadata across the plurality of data stores based on the applied at least one change impact rule, generate an alert based on the applied at least one change impact rule.
