AWS Athena is now supported

You can now connect AWS Athena as a data source and start exploring and querying it like your other databases. This opens up a straightforward path to analyze data sitting in S3-backed lakes without needing to move it into a traditional warehouse first. We also tightened up Athena-specific details (like the connection logo and SQL syntax edge cases) so the experience feels native end-to-end.

Schema Explorer is dramatically faster on large databases

Schema browsing and search are now significantly more responsive for big connections. The Schema Explorer UI is now virtualized, which eliminates the UI jank that could happen when expanding large schema trees. Search is also more performant and intentional: very short searches no longer trigger expensive work, and searches cancel more cleanly while you type—so results feel snappy instead of laggy.

Embedded dashboards feel more complete

Full-app embed mode now supports the command menu (including the flows that rely on it, like filtering), but only shows the items that make sense in an embedded context. This fixes cases where embedded users would hit dead ends or “nothing happens” behavior because certain UI paths were blocked. We also improved embedded polish: the loading screen now respects light theme correctly, embedded table charts scroll more naturally, and the embed sidebar behavior is more configurable (including optional hiding of Insights).

Insights are easier to tailor and act on

Insights can now have their own dedicated context, so you can guide how Insights should interpret your business and your data—without affecting other AI experiences. You can also do more with Insights outputs: insight charts can be added to dashboards, and you can chat directly with insights to iterate and explore without losing the thread.

Fixes and improvements

  • Enabled uploading CSVs and additional file types for AI workflows.
  • Fixed alert schedule time entry so typing multi-digit hours works as expected.
  • Prevented accidental overwrites when alert schedule values update while you’re editing.
  • Fixed sharing menu search so results behave correctly.
  • Fixed cases where the command menu could show “Data source not found” while a data source is still syncing.
  • Improved reliability of chat/chart generation recovery after interruptions so messages don’t get stuck mid-generation.
  • Fixed formatting and evaluation edge cases in SQL formatting.
  • Fixed an Athena SQL offset syntax edge case.
