AI-Generated Documentation: Automatic Descriptions for Nodes, Columns, and Git Commit Messages

These features are currently in Private Preview. Please reach out to your Coalesce account manager to sign up.

Coalesce is introducing AI-generated descriptions for Node, Columns, and Git Commit messages.

By analyzing your data pipelines lineage and transformation metadata, it creates natural language descriptions. AI-generated descriptions streamlines documentation by creating clear explanations of data transformations and Git commits. Now you can focus on development while making sure your data pipelines are well documented. 

Organization admins can opt-in by going to Organization Settings > Preferences and toggling AI Features.

New Workspace Onboarding

Setting up Workspaces in Coalesce just got easier. Our new Workspace onboarding guides you through the processes step-by-step reducing configuration time. Workspace onboarding makes it easier to set up version control, authentication, and Storage Locations/Mappings. This means less setup time and more focus on building pipelines.

Updates

• Our Hash editor automatically displays all columns with proper scrolling functionality.

• Problem Scanner can detect and alert on duplicate Node names and Storage Mappings, making it easier to find potential problems.

• We've made several improvements to enhance platform speed and reliability. These changes are part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best possible experience for our users.

Bug Fixes

• Source filters now correctly populates and displays all available results.

• Fixed an issue where, “A write batch can no longer be used after commit() has been called.”, was returning when trying to checkout branches.

• Node column details in the lower-left corner now consistently display when clicking Nodes. 

• Node Editor scrolls correctly when the “Node not enabled for deploy” banner is displayed.

Coalesce will be taking a scheduled maintenance window. During this time, search functionality within the generated documentation pages will be temporarily unavailable.

Maintenance Details:

• Date: Monday, February 17, 2025

• Time: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM US/Pacific

We are performing this maintenance to enhance the stability and performance of our platform. We expect search services to be fully restored by 10:00 PM PST, but will notify users if there are any delays or updates.

The rest of the platform will remain fully operational during this time.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team.

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.
