Zingg is open-source, warehouse-native master data management software for resolving entities across data silos and building unified views. It is intended for analytics engineers and data scientists integrating sources at scale, and runs on Linux in a self-hosted environment. Users train the system by labeling 40–50 matching pairs from their own data. Matching combines machine learning with deterministic rules that can use identifiers such as email, SSN, and passport ID. Listed language matching covers Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hindi, German, French, and Greek without language-specific setup. The Community, Enterprise Lite, and Enterprise editions support millions of records. Enterprise editions can run incrementally against previously matched data, and Enterprise also supports real-time architecture. ZINGG_ID is a persistent identifier assigned to new entities that remains stable across model and configuration changes. Zingg can also run within Snowflake as a Snowflake Container using Snowpark. Community costs nothing and includes batch processing, probabilistic matching, and open-source support.
