ANALYTICS
Velocity5.0

End-to-end data operations platform for pipelines, transformations and orchestration

keboola.com ↗

Keboola moves transformations to DuckDB 2.0 and pushes its docs into Snowflake and BigQuery.

data-platformgovernanceduckdbmetadatawarehouses
◆Current state
Keboola made DuckDB 2.0 the default for new DuckDB transformations, with the version selectable per transformation, and now writes table and column descriptions into Snowflake and BigQuery for new and existing tables. These follow a governance run: the GitHub App for private repos, Branched Storage on every stack, a read-only MCP query tool and idle workspace cleanup.
◆Where it's heading
Keboola is making the metadata and controls it holds useful outside its own UI, so warehouse users and AI tools see the same descriptions and rules. Engine choices such as DuckDB 2.0 keep transformation options current alongside that governance work.
◆Prediction
Expect more Keboola metadata, such as lineage or ownership, to sync into the connected warehouses, and further runtime version bumps offered side by side.

    DuckDB 2.0 is now available in transformations

    New DuckDB transformations default to DuckDB 2.0.0, and the version can be picked in the sidebar. A runtime upgrade offered with a choice, consistent with Keboola's cautious rollout of platform changes.

    Table and column descriptions now also in workspaces, Data Gateway and external buckets

    Table and column descriptions kept in Keboola Storage now carry into Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces and Data Gateway, and external buckets read them from source comments. Metadata stops getting lost between where data is stored and where it is used.

    Table and column descriptions now appear in Snowflake and BigQuery

    Table and column descriptions written in Keboola now appear in Snowflake and BigQuery, for new and existing tables. Documentation stops living only in Keboola, which helps analysts and AI tools that query the warehouse directly.

    Connect GitHub repositories without personal tokens

    A GitHub App connection replaces personal tokens for cloning private repos into dbt, Python and Apps. It fits the recent pattern of removing per-user credentials and risky defaults.

    Security Update for Python/JS and Streamlit Data Apps

    New Python/JS 1.8.0 and Streamlit 3.0.2 data app images fix security vulnerabilities, and older images are no longer offered for new deployments. It extends the month's hygiene work to the runtime under data apps.

    Branched Storage is being enabled on all projects

    Branched Storage finishes its rollout from November 2, giving development branches their own isolated storage. Making isolation the default fits the platform's cleanup and governance run, since branch work no longer has to share storage.
