# Platform

Explore the Amfelt platform, with automated data discovery, table-type recommendations, data moved between connectors as Apache Arrow record batches, and structured data layering. The agent does the data work on your infrastructure.

## Platform — Your data platform, running itself.

## [How It Works](/platform/how-it-works/)

A cloud control plane for configuration and monitoring, and an agent inside your infrastructure that moves and structures your data.

## [Data Catalog](/platform/data-catalog/)

Amfelt generates context from your data sources: data contracts in the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS) and, when you switch it on, Markdown documentation with entity-relationship diagrams, versioned in your project's Git repository once you commit, for your team and your AI tools to read.

## [Data Movement](/platform/data-movement/)

Amfelt moves data between connectors as Apache Arrow record batches. Full loads ship today, and every sync reconciles the record count of each table it lands. Usage is metered on the data moved.

## [Layering](/platform/layering/)

Amfelt generates consistent data layers from shared templates: staging, history, and bridge layers with uniform naming conventions. No SQL to write for the layers, unless you choose to override a template or add a column transform.

## [Security & Trust](/platform/security/)

The agent runs on your infrastructure and connects out to the control plane. See what the control plane receives, and how access is controlled.


- [How It Works](/platform/how-it-works/index.md): A cloud control plane for configuration and monitoring, and an agent inside your infrastructure that reads, moves, and loads your records and reports metadata and run results to the control plane.
- [Data Catalog](/platform/data-catalog/index.md): Amfelt generates governed context from your data sources, including versioned data contracts in the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS), AI-ready documentation, and visual diagrams that your team and your AI agents can trust.
- [Data Movement](/platform/data-movement/index.md): Amfelt moves data between connectors as Apache Arrow record batches. Full loads ship today, and every sync reconciles the record count of each table it lands. Usage is metered on the data moved.
- [Layering](/platform/layering/index.md): Amfelt generates consistent data layers from a single template: staging, history, and bridge layers with uniform naming conventions. No hand-written SQL.
- [Security & Trust](/platform/security/index.md): What the agent keeps on your host, what it sends to the control plane and receives from it, and who else handles that data. The agent reads and loads your records on your infrastructure; metadata, run results, advisor statistics, and stored credentials reach the control plane.
