๐Ÿš€ Product Updates

๐Ÿ“– Job Logs page updates

Weโ€™ve refreshed the job details / logs page to give you more context about your jobs! Our goal was to improve the visibility into the job to make debugging various issues easier.

The following information is now accessible directly in the job logs page:

  • Compute Metrics โ†’ the provisioned resources and usage for your job
  • Connector Versions โ†’ the connector versions (tag + repository) that ran in this job
  • Overrides โ†’ job-level overrides
  • Record-level target state โ†’ previously, visibility into each record that was synced to a target was limited. In addition to the count, you can now drill deeper and review each record, along with associated errors.

If you have any feedback on the new job logs page, let us know!

๐Ÿ”จ Widget v3 updates

In October we launched the new v3 Hotglue widget โ€“ since then weโ€™ve been steadily adding more functionality! New features include:

  • Support for file uploads
  • Ability for tenants to trigger jobs and review job history
  • Support for cloud file storage connectors like Google Drive and SharePoint

To learn more about the v3 widget, check out the docs.

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Audit Trail

We are excited to introduce an Audit Trail add-on to give you full visibility into whatโ€™s happening inside your Hotglue environment.

When changes happen, itโ€™s critical to know:

  • Was this triggered by an end-user (tenant)?
  • Someone on your internal team?
  • Or programmatically via the API?

With Audit Trail, you can now:

  • See a chronological timeline of changes
  • Identify exactly who (or what) initiated an action
  • Quickly trace configuration updates, connection changes, and API-driven events

No more guessing. No more โ€œit worked yesterday.โ€

Just a clear, searchable history directly inside Hotglue.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Available as a paid add-on. Reach out if you'd like to try it out.

๐Ÿ”Œ Connector Updates

โšก BigQuery + Postgres target performance improvements

Weโ€™ve rolled out major performance upgrades to both our BigQuery and Postgres targets โ€” with significant speed gains across the board.

๐ŸŸข BigQuery: 5โ€“10x Faster

Weโ€™ve completely revamped how data is processed and loaded:

  • Optimized JSON serialization & deserialization

  • Faster JSON Schema validation

  • Improved date parsing

  • In-memory caching to reduce repeated computation

  • New bulk loading flow:

    • Data is first processed into Parquet files (one per stream)
    • Files are uploaded to GCS
    • BigQuery loads directly from GCS

The result: dramatically faster and more reliable warehouse loads at scale.

๐ŸŸข Postgres: 3โ€“10x Faster

Postgres performance also saw major improvements:

  • Optimized JSON serialization & deserialization
  • Faster JSON Schema validation
  • In-memory caching
  • Removal of legacy features that were unused but impacting performance

Net result: materially improved throughput, especially for high-volume syncs.

Thatโ€™s all for this month! Thanks for reading :)
