What's New in Recce

Simplified CI/CD Integration

We heard your feedback and made CI/CD setup dramatically easier. What used to require extensive configuration now takes just 2 lines of code. Connect your environments faster and spend less time on setup.

Learn more at CI/CD integration doc.

Faster Instance Spin-Up

We’ve shaved 15 seconds off Recce Cloud instance spin-up time, so you get into your validation workflow a bit faster.

Idle Timeout & Extended Lifetime

Cloud instances now stay active longer, so you’ll run into fewer timeout issues during your validation sessions.

Smoother Team Onboarding

When you accept an invitation to join an organization, that org is now set as your default automatically. Invited team members can jump straight into work without additional setup steps.

Full GitLab Support

GitLab users now have complete access to Recce Cloud with full feature parity to GitHub:

• AI-powered MR summaries: Generate summaries and post them directly to your Merge Requests
• MR list and status: See all your Merge Requests and their validation status at a glance
• CI/CD integration: Integrate Recce into your GitLab pipelines

If your team uses GitLab, you now have a first-class Recce experience.

Sign Up with Email

You can now create a Recce Cloud account using email and password. Previously, sign-up required a GitHub account which blocked users and teams who don’t use GitHub. Now GitLab users and others can get started without needing a GitHub account.

How viadukt Built Trust at Scale: From Manual Data Checks to Systematic Validation

viadukt, a rising German renovation platform, reduced customer data complaints by 70%, cut data team firefighting from over 80% of their time to less than 15%, and sped up data review cycles. Read the full case study.

Enhanced Query Diff with Primary Keys for Snowflake Users

We’ve added case-insensitive search in the primary key dropdown so now you can type in any case and get matching suggestions with the correct case formatting.

Thanks to @GClunies for the great suggestion that made the UX smoother and helped users avoid the tricky case-mismatch issues!

Faster Column Dependency Search for Recce Users

We’ve replaced the recursive DFS in ‎find_column_dependencies with an iterative approach using a stack, making it 233% faster. Now, big and complex graphs run quicker, and you won’t hit Python’s recursion limit.

Thanks to @misrasaurabh1 for the smart optimization—less waiting, more data wrangling!
