Schema generation for operational data governance

A system, comprising:

• a memory subsystem;
• and
• processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to execute instructions of a metadata management service and stored in the memory subsystem to:
• receive operational data generated by operations of a computer system;
• analyze the operational data to identify data structures within the operational data;
• generate, based on the data structures, a schema definition that represents the operational data in a standardized format;
• integrate the schema definition into the metadata management service;
• receive, via a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, source code for deployment to a production environment, wherein the source code contains operational data structures;
• identify, based on a mapping between source code components and approved schemas, data elements in the operational data structures that correspond to the schema definition;
• determine, based on the schema definition, whether any classified data sensitivity levels associated with the identified data elements exceed a predetermined threshold;
• and
• responsive to determining that the classified data sensitivity levels exceed the predetermined threshold, block the deployment of the source code to the production environment.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations of a metadata management service, the operations comprising:

• receiving operational data generated by operations of a computer system;
• analyzing the operational data to identify data structures within the operational data;
• generating, based on the data structures, a schema definition that represents the operational data in a standardized format;
• integrating the schema definition into the metadata management service;
• receiving, via a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, source code for deployment to a production environment, wherein the source code contains operational data structures;
• identifying, based on a mapping between source code components and approved schemas, data elements in the operational data structures that correspond to the schema definition;
• determining, based on the schema definition, whether any classified data sensitivity levels associated with the identified data elements exceed a predetermined threshold;
• and
• responsive to determining that the classified data sensitivity levels exceed the predetermined threshold, blocking the deployment of the source code to the production environment.
