But the birthday presents came in the form of real product expansions. [Postgres Managed by ClickHouse](/release/rel_UtIiTHe7kZrAwK5McUEp5-what-s-new-in-postgres-managed-by-clickhouse-rbac-terraform-clickpipes), which entered public beta in May, now ships RBAC, a Terraform provider, ClickPipes integration, and PostgreSQL extensions. That's a deep set of enterprise features for a service that's been in beta only a month. On the ingestion side, [ClickPipes gained a GCP Pub/Sub connector in private preview](/release/rel_z98yy0O-5CJnOZdKlij3d-gcp-pub-sub-connector-for-clickpipes-is-now-in-private-preview), letting teams stream Cloud Logging, GKE events, and custom GCP application signals directly into ClickHouse without routing through Cloud Storage or Dataflow. And [Tinybird's Forward](/release/rel_8iWo1B2_exDZZJvHT3Xv2-dynamodb-connector-support-in-forward) added a DynamoDB connector that mirrors an entire table via Point-in-Time Recovery snapshot plus CDC from DynamoDB Streams — another low-friction path from operational data stores to real-time analytics. ### dbt's agentic data stack, from theory to alpha dbt Labs published three guides on [building agentic data pipelines](/release/rel_bHycCjZoBE4yY-P4F--6l-building-the-agentic-data-stack-a-practical-dbt-guide-for-the-ai-era), [making those pipelines trustworthy through the transformation layer](/release/rel_KcYXOBnD6EVPV0CIo88Ii-how-dbt-makes-agentic-data-pipelines-trustworthy-the-transformation-layer-s-role), and [a new skill called "context engineering"](/release/rel_fbawtiBCIzxknry4_drUO-context-engineering-is-the-new-analytics-engineering-skill-a-practical-guide-for) for structuring information so AI agents can reason reliably. They also shared [a migration guide](/release/rel_rjuuSF6sOuaWMIWL3MoW1-start-fresh-don-t-lift-and-shift-a-dbt-migration-guide) arguing teams should "start fresh, don't lift and shift" — though that advice feels aimed at organizations still on ETL tools rather than the agentic future of the other three posts. On the engineering side, [dbt-core v2.0.0-alpha.2](/release/rel_ffZb7EEAE0PoRIWqD3s2G-v2-0-0-alpha-2) shipped with several dbt Fusion additions: Homebrew installation via `brew install dbt`, `--empty` support in the seed command, and a `GET /api/v1/models` endpoint that includes warehouse catalog statistics (row count, bytes, last modified) alongside the materialized field — feeding `dbt build --write-index`. There's also [dbt-core v1.12.0b3](/release/rel_12ieAw7IByvP1-K8gqHY_-dbt-core-v1-12-0b3) with a `direct_parents` attribute for model nodes, letting lineage consumers render DAG edges from nearest public ancestors rather than the full dependency graph. ### Bugfixes and ecosystem thinking [Dagster 1.13.10](/release/rel_vZMWqmbJK5HPm_8VzBpH7-1-13-10-core-0-29-10-libraries) fixed two sticky bugs: stale materialization events surviving asset wipes, and asset backfills getting stuck without emitting further runs. The [ecosystem post](/release/rel_YKdfMfngFjDsinus7INZk-the-open-ecosystem-around-clickhouse) from ClickHouse isn't a release per se, but it's worth noting as a companion to the ten-year anniversary — it catalogs the clients, dashboards, pipelines, projects, and now AI agents that have grown around the database, a reminder that platform adoption is measured as much by what builds on top as by what ships inside. ## Releases covered ### ClickHouse - [Ten years of ClickHouse in open source](https://releases.sh/release/rel_839xJU0_U94rERx6YPLpj-ten-years-of-clickhouse-in-open-source) - [What a difference 10 years of open source makes](https://releases.sh/release/rel_2iS2u_nOFDwQLkwVh4qzF-what-a-difference-10-years-of-open-source-makes) - [What's new in Postgres Managed by ClickHouse: RBAC, Terraform, ClickPipes, extensions, and more](https://releases.sh/release/rel_UtIiTHe7kZrAwK5McUEp5-what-s-new-in-postgres-managed-by-clickhouse-rbac-terraform-clickpipes) - [GCP Pub/Sub connector for ClickPipes is now in Private Preview](https://releases.sh/release/rel_z98yy0O-5CJnOZdKlij3d-gcp-pub-sub-connector-for-clickpipes-is-now-in-private-preview) - [The open ecosystem around ClickHouse](https://releases.sh/release/rel_YKdfMfngFjDsinus7INZk-the-open-ecosystem-around-clickhouse) ### Dagster - [1.13.10 (core) / 0.29.10 (libraries)](https://releases.sh/release/rel_vZMWqmbJK5HPm_8VzBpH7-1-13-10-core-0-29-10-libraries) ### dbt Labs - [Building the agentic data stack: A practical dbt guide for the AI era](https://releases.sh/release/rel_bHycCjZoBE4yY-P4F--6l-building-the-agentic-data-stack-a-practical-dbt-guide-for-the-ai-era) - [How dbt makes agentic data pipelines trustworthy: the transformation layer's role in autonomous data systems](https://releases.sh/release/rel_KcYXOBnD6EVPV0CIo88Ii-how-dbt-makes-agentic-data-pipelines-trustworthy-the-transformation-layer-s-role) - [Context engineering is the new analytics engineering skill: a practical guide for dbt users](https://releases.sh/release/rel_fbawtiBCIzxknry4_drUO-context-engineering-is-the-new-analytics-engineering-skill-a-practical-guide-for) - [Start fresh, don't lift and shift: a dbt migration guide](https://releases.sh/release/rel_rjuuSF6sOuaWMIWL3MoW1-start-fresh-don-t-lift-and-shift-a-dbt-migration-guide) - [v2.0.0-alpha.2](https://releases.sh/release/rel_ffZb7EEAE0PoRIWqD3s2G-v2-0-0-alpha-2) - [dbt-core v1.12.0b3](https://releases.sh/release/rel_12ieAw7IByvP1-K8gqHY_-dbt-core-v1-12-0b3) ### Tinybird - [DynamoDB connector support in Forward](https://releases.sh/release/rel_8iWo1B2_exDZZJvHT3Xv2-dynamodb-connector-support-in-forward)
