Allow to configure default UI page

[voidwisp]

Currently UI defaults to environments which is in my view really doesn't make sense. For a data governance platform / data catalog / data marketplace the main UI page should be the Catalog. I do understand it's possible to have it disabled but I think most would not have it disabled. I would like to have a configurable option to make Catalog the default UI page.

Thanks for raising this issue - you are correct that one could theoretically disable catalog view but it is very unlikely for data.all users. I would tend to agree that showing the Catalog UI makes a bit more sense but there is also some additional cost implications to doing so (running a full query on OpenSearch index every time a user logs in)

Determining this cost difference has not be calculated but could be a helpful exercise before we evaluate to switch the default page of data.all

I am of the mind we default to a single behavior rather than open up a feature flag / parameter to configure something like this to prevent the configuration and set up of data.all to not get too unbounded or confusing
