⚡ Rill Developer is a tool that makes it effortless to transform your datasets with SQL and create fast, exploratory dashboards. Rill Cloud then enables shared collaboration at scale.

To try out Rill Developer, check out these instructions and join us on Discord to meet the team behind the product as well as other users. Once you have a project set up in Rill Developer, you can deploy the project and collaborate with others by logging into Rill Cloud!

You can now navigate directly from Canvas widgets to an Explore dashboard for deeper analysis. This is especially useful for KPI-style dashboards, allowing users to seamlessly carry over filters and context from Canvas to Explore.

Edit Alerts and Reports​

It’s now possible to modify the underlying filters for Alerts and Reports. This means you can easily update existing ones without needing to delete and recreate them from scratch.

Model Tests​

You can now write SQL tests that assert the correctness of your model’s data during reconciliation. This ensures your models pass data quality checks and that your dashboards reflect accurate information.

# model.yaml
type: model
sql: SELECT * FROM range(5)

tests:
  # Test that all values are in a valid range
  - name: Valid Range
    assert: range >= 0 AND range <= 4

  # Test that all values are in a valid range (SQL)
  - name: Valid Range SQL
    sql: SELECT * FROM model WHERE range < 0 OR range > 4

  # Test that row count is exactly 5
  - name: Exact Row Count
    sql: SELECT 'Wrong row count' as error WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM model) != 5
