We’ve released Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on our platform, a powerful security feature designed to protect your accounts from unauthorized access. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through an authentication app. Learn how to enable MFA.

Scheduler

We’ve released our built in Scheduler. This enhancement introduces in-app scheduling capabilities for Coalesce jobs, eliminating the requirement for external scheduling tools for basic job orchestration.

• Read about setting up the Scheduler.

RBAC

We're excited to announce the release of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). With RBAC, you can assign roles to users based on their responsibilities, ensuring they only have access to the data they need. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access, streamlining user permissions while enhancing overall security.

• Read our RBAC Migration Guide.

• Learn about using RBAC with Coalesce.

Updates

• Git Parse - We’ve improved handling parsing errors in Git.

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an error where the failed `queryID` was a mismatch between Snowflake and Coalesce.

On September 5, 2024, Coalesce will begin enabling two upgrades for all organizations.

• Git Repo Format Upgrade is available now. Mandatory upgrades will start September 5, 2024 and expect to be complete by September 12, 2024.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

We encourage you to prepare for the changes by:

• Upgrade the CLI to the latest version.

• Have your organization's administrators enable the Git Repo Format Upgrade before the mandatory deadline.

• Optionally, contact support to enable the RBAC migration early.

• Review existing roles and understand the permissions they will have under the new system.

By preparing for these changes early, you can avoid unintended consequences, such as being unable to make commits until the upgrade is complete.

We encourage you to review our documentation for more details:

On September 5, 2024, Coalesce will enable the Git Repo Format Upgrade . After September 5, 2024, all Git repos will be automatically updated.

What is the Git Repo Format Upgrade?

We have updated the way files are committed into Git. Previously it was split into a data.yml and the specific nodes.yml files. Now you can see the changes for:

• Node Types

• Environment Mappings

• Subgraphs

• Jobs

• Macros

• Packages

The upgrade is required for Packages and CLI use.

How to Opt-In

Organization Administrators can turn it on for the whole organization. Go to Org Settings > Preferences and Enable Git Repository Format Update. Once enabled, all Workspace users will be prompted to switch to the new format. They won't be able to make commits until they switch to the new format.

• Users will be notified the upgrade is available, but won't be able to upgrade.

• Previously committed metadata can still be deployed after the upgrade.

Packages

You must be using the new Git Repo Format Upgrade to use Coalesce Packages.

CLI

If you use the CLI and HAVE NOT upgraded to the new Git Repo Format, you have until September 5, 2024 to upgrade your CLI. After September 5, 2024, the Git Repo Format Upgrade will be turned on for all Coalesce organizations and any CLI versions below 7.0.18 won't be compatible with Coalesce versions 7.2.x and above.

If you have upgraded to the new Git Repo Format and use the Coalesce CLI, please upgrade your CLI version to prevent interruptions in workflow.

The global IT issues caused by CrowdStrike while widespread are not currently affecting Coalesce's systems. Coalesce does utilize CrowdStrike but this issue is isolated and not affecting our production cloud infrastructure. We are continuously monitoring our systems and are available via support for any questions.

Role-Based Access Control

We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of Role-based Access Control (RBAC) on our platform, a new feature designed to enhance security and provide more granular access controls within our environment.

Role-based Access Control (RBAC) is a method of restricting system access to authorized users based on their role within an organization.

RBAC is currently in private preview and is available only upon request. To enable RBAC for your organization, please contact the Coalesce support team. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to enhancing this feature based on your insights during this phase.

Review our RBAC documentation to learn more.
