Performance Optimizations​

Behind-the-scenes improvements ensure your workspace operates more smoothly and efficiently than ever before.

October 2024​

This October, Ververica Cloud received an updated a UI. Additionally, several enhancements of functionality and bug fixes were made.

  • Structured navigation (development and operations separation)
    We’ve split navigation into two intuitive categories – Development and Operations - so you can now find the tools you need faster.
  • Centralized configuration page (all settings in one place)
    We’ve put all configuration-related tasks (like Security, Members, etc.) onto one neat page: clean, centralized, and easy to manage.
  • Dedicated Admin Area (Global and Team Settings)
    We’ve separated out admin controls for a more secure experience. Global settings are kept apart from personal settings.

Simplified Workspace Creation Flow​

  • Streamlined workspace creation (no more checkout-like experience)
    The new workspace creation process has been designed to feel intuitive and light, similar to creating a new folder. Users no longer experience a complex, checkout-style flow, making the process much faster and less intimidating.

    We’ve trimmed down the steps so beginners and pros alike can spin up new workspaces in no time.
  • No more payment in workspace creation
    No more payment setup requests when setting up your workspace.

Connector enhancements​

  • Snowflake connector (sink-only)
    The new Snowflake connector is a sink-only connector, designed to stream data from various sources and persist it in Snowflake. Using the latest Flink interfaces (Sink<InputT> and SinkWriter<InputT>), it enables easy and configurable writing of data into Snowflake tables for further analysis or storage.
  • StarRocks connector
    The StarRocks connector brings the power of Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) data warehouses into the Ververica ecosystem. StarRocks is designed for fast, distributed analytics, compatible with MySQL protocol, and BI tools. With a flexible, scalable architecture, it supports analytics on up to 10 PB of data, ensuring fault tolerance through multiple replicas. The connector supports importing data via Stream Load and enables both sink and source table functionality.
  • Other connectors
    Officially supporting built-in connectors for MongoDB, Redpanda, Elasticsearch, and Pulsar.
