|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support for SAML and OIDC protocols for Single Sign-on (SSO), enabling platform authentication through any preferred identity provider |
Calibo Accelerate now supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocols for Single Sign-On (SSO), in addition to existing integrations with Microsoft Active Directory (ADFS) and Azure Active Directory. Administrators can now configure SSO using their preferred identity provider (IdP), edit existing SSO settings, and also switch to a different IdP. |
|||||||||||||||
| Enhanced user offboarding and ownership management |
User sync now completes even if an offboarded user is the sole owner of one or more entities such as products or portfolios. In Platform Setup > Users, Roles, Teams & Organizational Hierarchy, on the Users tab, a message is displayed to inform that the offboarded user was the sole owner of certain entities. Administrators can review the listed entities and assign new owners to ensure continued management and governance. |
|||||||||||||||
| Enhanced URL validation in a tool’s connection configuration |
To enhance security and enforce best practices, Calibo Accelerate now validates tool URLs to ensure they use the secure HTTPS protocol. If a tool is configured with an HTTP URL:

| Breadcrumb navigation for connection configurations | When you configure the connection details of tools, the breadcrumb trail (Platform Setup / Cloud Platforms, Tools & Technologies / [Configuration Section]) is now available. The breadcrumb navigation shows your current location and helps you seamlessly move between sections and tools. | |||||||||||||||
| GitHub Actions support for deploying Web, API, and data technologies to Docker containers using GitHub repositories |
Calibo Accelerate now supports deploying web, API, and data technologies to Docker containers using GitHub Actions. You can build applications directly from your GitHub source code repositories and automate their deployment to Docker environments by using GitHub Actions workflows. You can configure repository triggers, set up runner labels for Docker execution, and schedule deployments via cron or push events — enabling seamless CI/CD automation for Docker-based applications directly from the platform. For data technologies, GitHub Actions support is available for the following job types:
|
|||||||||||||||
| GitHub Actions support for Terraform execution | Calibo Accelerate now supports executing Terraform scripts via GitHub Actions. You can select GitHub repositories with Terraform code, configure environment and sensitive variables, and trigger Terraform runs directly from the platform. | |||||||||||||||
| Introducing Data Pipeline Center workspace |
Calibo Accelerate introduces a new workspace — Data Pipeline Center, designed to provide unified visibility and control over your data pipelines. The workspace includes two tabs: Pipelines and Dependencies.
This enhancement offers end-to-end visibility, monitoring, and centralized management of data pipelines from a single interface. |
|||||||||||||||
| Support for Fivetran data integration |
Calibo Accelerate now supports Fivetran for data integration. You can run existing jobs created in Fivetran by selecting the appropriate connection and creating a job in Calibo Accelerate. With this support, you can run Fivetran jobs for integration for source and target combinations supported by Fivetran but not natively supported by Calibo Accelerate. The ingested data can then be used for other data pipeline jobs like data transformation, data quality, and data visualization in Calibo Accelerate. |
|||||||||||||||
| Securing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) during data processing |
Calibo Accelerate now supports masking and scrambling of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), ensuring sensitive data is protected across data integration, data transformation, and data quality pipelines in Data Pipeline Studio.
Masking and scrambling PII protect sensitive information while allowing safe use for testing, analytics, and development. |
|||||||||||||||
|
Support for data ingestion using Snowpark |
Calibo Accelerate now supports seamless data ingestion into Snowflake using Snowpark from the following data sources:
With this enhancement, data is processed within the Snowflake environment, eliminating the need for data movement. This improves pipeline performance and efficiency of data ingestion workflows. |
|||||||||||||||
| Enhancements to dbt transformation jobs |
Calibo Accelerate introduces the following enhancements for dbt transformations:
With these enhancements, you can run existing jobs or create new jobs using existing or new projects and connections. |
|||||||||||||||
| Enhanced CSV and JSON ingestion with additional parsing parameters |
Calibo Accelerate now offers enhanced flexibility for ingesting CSV and JSON files with additional parsing parameters using Databricks or Snowflake Bulk Ingest. The support is added for the following data sources:
These enhancements enable more robust and flexible data ingestion, reduce parsing errors, minimize the need for manual file adjustments, streamlining data integration workflows. |
|||||||||||||||
| CI/CD pipeline enhancements |
Several usability and visibility improvements have been introduced to the CI/CD Pipelines screen in the Deploy phase, enhancing control, traceability, and flexibility. Key Enhancements:
These enhancements simplify pipeline management, improve visibility into build and deployment history, and provide stronger integration between source code commits and deployed artifacts. |
|||||||||||||||
| Deployment mode dependency removed for stage creation and edits in the Deploy phase | While creating or editing a deployment stage, selecting a deployment mode (Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift, or Terraform) is now optional. You can proceed without selecting any mode, making stage configuration more flexible and adaptable to various deployment requirements. | |||||||||||||||
| Improved visibility of existing repositories during technology addition |
While adding a technology, if you choose to use an existing repository in your source code tool, Calibo Accelerate now displays the repositories grouped by their parent entity — projects (in Bitbucket), groups (in GitLab), or organization (in GitHub). Depending on the tool, you may see repositories listed under one or multiple such entities. This segregation provides better clarity, especially when the same repository name exists under different groups or projects, helping users identify and select the correct repository with confidence. |
|||||||||||||||
| Support for Snowflake Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) mandate |
Snowflake mandates the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) instead of passwords for both human and service users. According to this mandate:
To align with this mandate, Calibo Accelerate has updated the Snowflake connection configuration. When adding Snowflake connection details in the platform, you must now provide a Username and a Programmatic Access Token (PAT) instead of a username and password. This enhancement ensures compliance with Snowflake’s latest security requirements and strengthens the overall security posture for Snowflake users. |
|||||||||||||||
| Support for the latest versions of technologies |
Support for the following latest versions of technologies is now available on the Calibo Accelerate platform

|||||||||||||||
| Global search across portfolios, products, and phases |
Calibo Accelerate now offers enhanced global search. The search bar in the left navigation pane enables you to quickly find information across portfolios, products, features, and the Define, Design, Develop, and Deploy phases, including their custom fields. Search results are categorized for easier navigation, with key details like name of the entity related to the search term, entity type, and hierarchy path showing where the searched item resides in the platform. You can click the result to open the entity page, and the search term is highlighted on the detailed page for faster identification. Search results are governed by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), so you will only see items that you have permission to access. This enhancement improves visibility, productivity, and seamless access to relevant data. |
