👀 Row-Level Access Control

We’ve just released User Attributes, which allow for personalized experiences for Whaly users. These attributes are defined by Whaly administrators and can be applied to individual users.

With User Attributes, you can now control which users can see what data in dashboards or even explorations. Give each user a personalized view by only allowing them to see the data they’re supposed to see.

🏁 Persistence Engine

Complex and heavy modeling can lead to longer load times for reports. This is because your warehouse takes time to process the queries. Nobody wants that…which is why we’ve released Persistence Engine. You can now speed up load times by persisting them into your warehouse!

Our Persistence Engine will compute the lineage of your models and write its results in your warehouse, which means future queries will be done on top of these materialization results.

🧡 dbt Integration

Import your modeled data from dbt using our dbt Cloud <> Whaly integration.

This allows analytics and analytics engineers to work hand-in-hand on the BI side of things, as well as gives them the ability to warn users of any potential staleness issues from the dashboard directly. Stay tuned for the upcoming dbt Core integration!
