What's New in Recce

This release makes Lineage Diff capture exactly what you see, plus early access to AI-assisted setup.

Lineage Diff: Add Exactly What You See

Adding Lineage Diff checks is simpler. When viewing your lineage filtered by selectors, with Column-Level Lineage or Impact Radius applied, you can add that exact view to your checklist with one click.

Now what you see is what you add. Your current lineage view settings carry through to the check.

Incremental Model Awareness in Impact Analysis

Recce Cloud now recognizes incremental models and reflects this in impact analysis. When you modify a model with incremental logic, the data review shows accurate scope.

Example: A PR that adds a date filter to orders_daily_summary correctly shows the row count change from 730 to 364 rows, with clear indication that the change is isolated with no downstream impact

Experimental: Recce Plugin for Claude Code

We’re exploring AI-assisted onboarding for Recce Cloud. Set up CI/CD configuration by chatting with Claude.

Note: This is experimental. The onboarding flow is incomplete (Data Warehouse and Git setup not yet supported). We’re sharing early to signal our direction and gather feedback.
