## Summary

Factory says it is acquiring Typedef, a data infrastructure company, to give its Droids clearer data lineage when planning migrations, debugging pipelines, and refactoring models. Typedef builds a context layer from code that maps how data model changes ripple through definitions, pipelines, and dashboards. Typedef co-founders Yoni Michael and Kostas Pardalis are joining Factory.
