What is Cluvio?
Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.
What is Dagster?
Dagster drops Python 3.10 and lets agents run schedules and sensors through MCP.
Dagster's 1.13 line ships weekly and follows two threads. dagster-dbt no longer installs dbt-core and gained a dbt v2 extra for the Fusion engine, while the UI keeps getting phone layouts and faster search and catalog pages. 1.13.30 on November 12 makes Python 3.11 the minimum and widens the Dagster+ MCP server to reading and toggling schedules and sensors and managing partitions.

◆ Current state
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.
◆ Where it's heading
The focus has moved toward shared and embedded dashboards: localization, sharing-link management, change history and embed reliability. That suits teams using Cluvio to serve dashboards to customers or many regions. The analyst side keeps getting careful refinements, such as pivot drill-down and snippets.
◆ Prediction
Expect more work on embeds and sharing links, such as finer locale or access controls. The entries don't show further Static Tables work since June.
Dagster
5.0ANALYTICS
Dagster drops Python 3.10 and lets agents run schedules and sensors through MCP.
◆ Current state
Dagster's 1.13 line ships weekly and follows two threads. dagster-dbt no longer installs dbt-core and gained a dbt v2 extra for the Fusion engine, while the UI keeps getting phone layouts and faster search and catalog pages. 1.13.30 on November 12 makes Python 3.11 the minimum and widens the Dagster+ MCP server to reading and toggling schedules and sensors and managing partitions.
◆ Where it's heading
The Dagster+ MCP server has grown release by release, from launching runs without a code location in September to controlling schedules, sensors and partitions now. Combined with the dbt split, Dagster is trimming legacy dependencies while making the orchestrator something an agent can operate, not just a person in the UI.
◆ Prediction
The MCP server still lacks write access to things like backfills and alert policies, so expanding it there is the most visible next step; further Python and dbt version floors are likely to follow the 3.10 cut.
