Summary

Cube has launched Playground 2.0, a significant update to its toolset for building and debugging data models in Cube Cloud, aimed at enhancing the user experience for data professionals. This new version offers a BI-like experience, taking inspiration from popular data exploration tools to streamline data modeling workflows. It introduces a rich representation of data models with intuitive UI elements, allowing users to easily locate and interact with cubes, views, measures, and dimensions. New features include a global data model search, JSON query pasting, and improved UI for applying filters, while retaining existing features such as data visualization and security context selector. Available to all Cube Cloud users, Playground 2.0 supports easy deployment, even for non-users, and will eventually become open-source. Users can still access Playground 1.0 during a transitional period, and feedback is encouraged to drive future improvements.
