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 OpenHouse?

OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.

OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.

◆ 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.

OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.

◆ Current state

OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

◆ Where it's heading

OpenHouse is adding the controls a shared lakehouse needs at scale: quotas, audit trails and retention that matches business calendars. Views are getting the same governance tables already had.

◆ Prediction

Expect more views milestones after audit (the release is labeled Views M1), and further operator controls for quotas and maintenance.
