What is Cluvio?
Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.
What is OpenDataDiscovery?
Four ODD Platform releases in two weeks, and not one of them changes the product
ODD Platform's recent releases are entirely dependency and build hygiene. Four tags went out between 20 March and 3 April 2026: a Spring Boot security upgrade, a container Java runtime bump from 17.0.2 to 17.0.18, an alignment pass across apache-lang, okhttp and nimbus-jose-jwt, a commit whose stated purpose was forcing a build, and a netty-bom downgrade to unbreak UI static assets. Two contributors account for all of it, and no entry describes a user-facing change.

Cluvio
5.0ANALYTICS
Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
◆ Current state
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent work tightens existing surfaces rather than opening new ones — the product is maturing its core rather than chasing scope. The exception, querying files without a connected database, points to Cluvio positioning itself for ad-hoc analysis, not only dashboards over warehouses. Expect continued UX consolidation across settings, exports, and pickers, interleaved with occasional capability adds like new chart types.
◆ Prediction
Likely next moves are further build-out of Static Tables — more file formats or richer joins across uploads — alongside continued chart and alerting polish. The cadence reads as incremental shipping rather than a large directional pivot.

Four ODD Platform releases in two weeks, and not one of them changes the product
◆ Current state
ODD Platform's recent releases are entirely dependency and build hygiene. Four tags went out between 20 March and 3 April 2026: a Spring Boot security upgrade, a container Java runtime bump from 17.0.2 to 17.0.18, an alignment pass across apache-lang, okhttp and nimbus-jose-jwt, a commit whose stated purpose was forcing a build, and a netty-bom downgrade to unbreak UI static assets. Two contributors account for all of it, and no entry describes a user-facing change.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a project being kept patched rather than developed — the visible work is closing dependency vulnerabilities and repairing the fallout when those upgrades break something. The netty downgrade is the clearest illustration: an upgrade broke static asset serving and the fix was to step back a patch version. Nothing in these entries touches data discovery, cataloguing or lineage, which is what the platform actually does.
◆ Prediction
Nothing here indicates planned feature work; on this evidence the next releases are most likely more dependency alignment, since the netty and Spring Boot upgrades in this window are the kind that arrive on a security-advisory schedule rather than a product one.
