Feature/Enhancement

Description 

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:

  • A warning appears during tool’s connection configuration.

  • A persistent alert is shown in the tool list until the URL is updated to HTTPS.

  • Email notifications are sent to both the tenant administrator and the user who created the configuration.

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:

  • Data Analytics using JupyterLab

  • Custom Integration and Transformation using Databricks

  • Custom Transformation using Snowpark

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.

  • Pipelines: In this tab, you can view, monitor, and run your data pipelines. You can also configure notifications to keep relevant stakeholders informed about pipeline activities.

  • Dependencies: This tab provides a visual representation of how pipelines within a selected product depend on one another or pipelines from other products. This tab also provides insights into the actions triggered on dependent pipelines based on specific events.

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 - Hide or partially hide PII while keeping some details visible for business use.

  • Scrambling – Randomize PII values keeping the format intact.

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:

  • Amazon S3

  • MySQL (as RDBMS)

  • PostgreSQL (as RDBMS)

  • Oracle (as RDBMS)

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:

  1. Create a new dbt project from the configuration section.

  2. Create a new environment from a dbt job.

  3. Create a new Snowflake connection from the configuration section.

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:

Supported Data Sources Integration Tool Data Lake

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:

  • Pipeline Metadata Visibility: The pipeline list now displays key metadata such as Build Number, Latest Commit ID, Last Run, and Deployment Mode.

  • Build Logs and Build History:

    • You can now view pipeline logs directly from the console for better traceability.

    • A build history of the last five builds is available, enabling users to review past runs quickly.

  • Search and Filter Options: Enhanced search and filtering capabilities allow you to locate pipelines quickly using the technology name or title.

  • Abort Running Pipelines: You can now abort active pipeline executions from the pipeline UI.

  • Improved Source Code Integration: The Source Code tab now displays commit history immediately after a technology is added, rather than post-deployment.

  • Linked Commit IDs: Each pipeline run now includes a clickable commit ID that routes directly to the corresponding commit in the connected repository.

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:

  • All human users who use password authentication will be required to use multi-factor authentication.

  • All service users will be disallowed using password authentication, they are required to migrate to a more secure authentication method.

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.

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.

Audit logs available for portfolios Calibo Accelerate now provides comprehensive audit logging to track all actions on product portfolios. Activities captured include (but are not limited to) product creation, feature management, workflow approvals, and data pipeline operations. You can view all product-related events associated with the portfolio. This ensures complete visibility and supports transparency, security, and compliance.
Filtering and sorting in Product Portfolios workspace

The Product Portfolios workspace now supports advanced filters and sort options. You can filter by portfolio attributes and sort portfolios by created date, modified date, or alphabetically by name.

The filter and sort options enable you to quickly locate specific portfolios.

Rich text support for custom fields Custom fields in portfolios and products now support rich text formatting. You can add formatted content such as bold or italic text, bullet or itemized lists, and hyperlinks, making your custom field entries more readable.
Global workflow template enhancements

Several improvements have been introduced to make workflow template management in Calibo Accelerate more informative, consistent, and secure.

Key Enhancements:

  • Default Labeling:

    Global templates used in portfolio workflows now display a Default label for easy identification.

  • Template Details in Dropdown:

    The template selection dropdown now shows additional details such as designated approvers and template description.

  • Timestamps:

    The Created On and Updated On timestamps for each workflow template are added in the Configuration section.

  • Entity-wise Categories:

    Entity-specific categories—such as Product Portfolio Approval, Product Approval, Idea Approval, User Feedback Approval, and Policy Templates Approval, among others—are introduced for better template organization.

  • Unique Name Enforcement on Edit: Editing a workflow template creates a new editable version in the template list. When editing an existing template, you must provide a new name to distinguish it from the original.

  • Approver Restrictions and RBAC Validation:

    • Template creators cannot assign themselves as approvers.

    • Additional RBAC checks are enforced for Admin roles.

These enhancements improve usability, governance, and traceability of workflow templates across portfolios and entities.

Global workflow templates: New “Product Portfolio Approval” category added

Calibo Accelerate now introduces a new Portfolio Approval Workflow Template category at the global level. Administrators and users with specific permissions can create and manage portfolio approval workflows.

When approval workflow is enabled for portfolio creation in Platform Setup > Standards > Workflow Templates, a default workflow template is automatically applied to new portfolio. During portfolio creation, you can choose to proceed with the default template or select another available portfolio approval workflow template.
