The team at Acryl Data has been rapidly rolling out improvements to the DataHub UI since the beginning of 2021, mainly focused on replacing the legacy Ember app with React. Now that we have reached functional parity between the two, we’re turning our focus to making improvements to user experience.
Let’s get you up to speed on what John Joyce shared at the August DataHub Town Hall!
First Up: Improved UI for Dataset Entities
I think we can all agree that datasets are a *pretty big deal* in the metadata & data catalog scene, so that’s where we started.
You can find the following improvements to Dataset Entities in v0.8.12 :
→ Improved schema navigation for nested elements
View in DataHub Demo Site
→ New side panel gives an “entity at a glance” view to quickly find details about the dataset including useful links, high-level usage stats, ownership, and more
View in DataHub Demo Site
→ Is your Dataset documentation getting stale? The new inline editor makes it easy to update and maintain your docs to keep them fresh

What to Expect in Upcoming Months
The Acryl Data team will be rolling out improvements to the UI piece by piece, including:
- Refreshing the look and experience of chart, dashboard, task & pipeline entities
- Improvements to the search & browse experiences
- Smarter recommendations on the Homepage
- Dark Mode (!!!)

Governing the Kafka Firehose
Kafka’s schema registry and data portal are great, but without a way to actually enforce schema standards across all your upstream apps and services, data breakages are still going to happen. Just as important, without insight into who or what depends on this data, you can’t contain the damage. And, as data teams know, Kafka data breakages almost always cascade far and wide downstream—wrecking not just data pipelines, and not just business-critical products and services, but also any reports, dashboards, or operational analytics that depend on upstream Kafka data.
When Data Quality Fires Break Out, You're Always First to Know with Acryl Observe
Acryl Observe is a complete observability solution offered by Acryl Cloud. It helps you detect data quality issues as soon as they happen so you can address them proactively, rather than waiting for them to impact your business’ operations and services. And it integrates seamlessly with all data warehouses—including Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Databricks. But Acryl Observe is more than just detection. When data breakages do inevitably occur, it gives you everything you need to assess impact, debug, and resolve them fast; notifying all the right people with real-time status updates along the way.

Five Signs You Need a Unified Data Observability Solution
A data observability tool is like loss-prevention for your data ecosystem, equipping you with the tools you need to proactively identify and extinguish data quality fires before they can erupt into towering infernos. Damage control is key, because upstream failures almost always have cascading downstream effects—breaking KPIs, reports, and dashboards, along with the business products and services these support and enable. When data quality fires become routine, trust is eroded. Stakeholders no longer trust their reports, dashboards, and analytics, jeopardizing the data-driven culture you’ve worked so hard to nurture
