Release Notes for Q2 2025

Branding and visual identity refresh: Platform naming updated across UI texts and platform URL

As part of our rebranding initiative, the platform name has been updated from Lazsa to Calibo Accelerate across all in-app messages (success, error, confirmation), tooltips, informational texts, and audit logs.

Additionally, the platform URL has changed from https://lazsa-<environment>.calibo.com to https://accelerate-<environment>.calibo.com. 

To ensure uninterrupted access, the old URL will automatically redirect to the new URL, including browser access, email links, and SSO logins. 

This redirection will remain active for 30 days from the release date.

Action Required:

To ensure uninterrupted user authentication, please update your SSO configuration by adding the new URL to your identity provider settings (for example, as an Azure AD Redirect URI). This change is necessary to maintain proper SSO functionality during and after the transition.

For any assistance, please contact our support team.

New product sorting options now available

You can now sort your products by Name, Created Date, or Modified Date—in both ascending and descending order. This helps you quickly find and manage products based on when they were created or last updated.

This makes it easier to find relevant products quickly, track recent activity, and stay organized across your portfolio.

Snowpark custom transformation support using Java (Maven or Gradle) and Python

Calibo Accelerate helps you leverage Snowpark capabilities to write custom transformation logic directly within the Snowflake environment in Java (Maven or Gradle) and Python languages.

This support ensures that the data is processed within the Snowflake ecosystem , resulting in faster processing, reduced latency, and improved data security.

Data Transformation with dbt Cloud

Calibo Accelerate supports data transformation jobs using dbt Cloud. You can import projects from dbt Cloud and run existing jobs or create new jobs.

This support enables you to import dbt projects into the Calibo Accelerate platform and run your existing jobs seamlessly. You can also create new jobs based on your use case.

Data Quality enhancements

Calibo Accelerate now supports flexible null value handling across data quality workflows, including Profiler, Analyzer, Validator, and Issue Resolver jobs. A new multi-select dropdown allows users to select predefined null values. Additionally, users can define custom null values based on specific requirements, enabling accurate data quality assessments.

Data Ingestion with Snowpark

Calibo Accelerate now supports Snowpark for data ingestion from RDBMS source type to Snowflake data lake. The RDBMS support includes SSL certificate-based connectivity and is currently available for the following RDBMS types:

• MySQL

• PostgreSQL

• Oracle

Using Snowpark for data ingestion ensures that data remains within the Snowflake ecosystem, leveraging Snowflake’s compute layer. This results in faster pipelines, simplified architecture, built-in security, and access control. The SSL certificate-based connectivity for RDBMS data sources enables secure, encrypted communication between the data source and the platform, ensuring data is protected during transit.

Support for the latest versions of technologies

Support for the following latest versions of technologies is now available on the Calibo Accelerate platform:

• Angular 19

• Next.js 15

You can now use these technologies for developing your web applications through the Calibo Accelerate platform.

Deprecated Technologies

The following End-of-Life (EOL) versions of technologies are no longer supported in the Calibo Accelerate platform:

• Angular 17

• Django 5.0

• Nodejs18

• Spring Boot 3.3

Support for multiple service types in Kubernetes deployments

You can now choose from Cluster IP, Node Port, and Load Balancer service types while configuring Kubernetes deployments in Calibo Accelerate. This allows better control over how your applications are exposed—whether for internal access, external traffic via node ports, or scalable access through cloud-managed load balancers. The flexibility ensures your deployments align with different accessibility and networking needs.

GitHub Actions support for deploying Web and API technologies to Kubernetes using GitHub repositories

Calibo Accelerate now supports GitHub Actions for creating CI/CD workflows directly from the platform for deploying web and API technologies to Kubernetes clusters on AWS (EKS) and Azure (AKS), using GitHub repositories as the source. 

This integration currently supports only web and API technologies in Kubernetes deployment mode with GitHub as a source code repository.

Support for Data technologies and Docker deployment mode will be introduced in future releases.

Recommendation: Use GitHub Actions only for new product/features in Calibo Accelerate; avoid using it for existing deployments until support for data technologies is added in a future release.

Support for separate CI and CD pipelines for Web/API technology deployments using Jenkins

With this release, the deploy flow now offers the ability to configure separate Jenkins pipelines for CI and CD when deploying Web or API technologies. This enhancement provides improved flexibility and better control over your build and deployment lifecycle.

Previously, the platform supported a single combined Jenkins pipeline for both CI and CD. That combined view will continue to be available for existing deployments, but all new deployments will now use the segregated CI/CD pipeline setup.

This feature is currently available only for Web and API technologies, and is not available for Data technologies at this time.

Support for publishing technologies as library artifacts to JFrog Artifactory

Previously, the platform supported technology types such as Java that were expected to be built and deployed as containerized services. This limited the ability to create and manage reusable code packages that didn’t require deployment.

With this release, the platform now supports publishing technologies as Library artifacts, enabling you to build and publish source-code-based libraries directly to JFrog Artifactory without requiring containerization or deployment.

Key highlights of this enhancement:

• While adding a technology during the Develop phase, you can now mark Maven, Gradle, or NPM-based technologies as Library.

• Library-type technologies are intended to act as shared utilities or core libraries that are referenced by other application technologies and not deployed as standalone services.

• A new section has been introduced in the Deploy phase to support the addition of Library-type technologies.

• The CI pipeline for Library technologies builds and publishes artifacts directly to JFrog Artifactory.

• The platform handles tool-specific publication workflows:

  • Maven: Publishes using pom.xml to local and release repositories.

  • Gradle: Publishes artifacts to Gradle repositories.

  • NPM: Publishes package metadata and content to the repository.

• CD pipelines are disabled for Library-type technologies, as deployment is not required.

• Published library artifacts can be consumed by other technologies across your applications within the platform.

Enhanced approval workflows for portfolio, product, and feature

We have made several improvements to the approval workflows for portfolios, products, and features in Calibo Accelerate:

• Draft state: After a portfolio, product, or feature is created, it is in the Draft state and must be submitted for approval manually.

• Schedule approval: You can now schedule an approval request to be automatically approved at a specified date and time.

• Send for rework: Reviewers can now send portfolio, product, or feature creation requests back for rework instead of rejecting them outright.

• Notifications and Emails: Requesters and approvers are notified when:

  • An approval request is submitted

  • The request is approved, rejected, or sent for rework

  • A requester deletes a request pending for approval

• Audit logs: Workflow-related events are now captured in audit logs for better traceability.

• Editing or overriding base template: The workflow template set at the global level can now be overridden or modified at the portfolio or product level as needed.

Separate reports for portfolios, products, and features with support for custom fields

You can now generate individual reports for portfolios, products, and features for more focused insights. These reports support custom field details—you can search by specific custom field values and filter by custom field names. Additionally, custom field support is now available in the User Details report.

A new version (1.1.108) of the Calibo Accelerate Orchestrator Agent is now available. Upgrading to this version is mandatory to ensure a seamless experience. For upgrade steps, see Updating Calibo Accelerate Orchestrator Agent .
