Today, we released a ton of improvements to the Cognite Toolkit. Here is what you should know about the fresh v0.8 version:
 

  • Better performance: Substantial refactoring has led to faster execution, especially for builddeploy, and data transfer commands.
  • Enhanced Deployment: The deploy command is now forward-compatible with the API, ensuring proper property handling.
  • Clearer Validation: Output is now easier to read and provides richer guidance for both you and your agents. 
  • NEAT Intelligence: You’ll notice more recommendations and auto-fixes for Data Modeling performance and scalability, powered by built-in NEAT logic.
  • Module Scaling: Reusing modules is easier with the module repeat feature, allowing you to deploy a module multiple times using site-specific variables.
  • New Plugins: To streamline the experience, we’ve moved development features to cdf dev ... and data features to cdf data ....



Other nice-to-knows:

  • Auth breaking changes: In cdf auth init, we have removed the --no-verify and --dry-run flags.
  • Command Updates: cdf dump asset/timeseries has been retired. Use cdf data download assets/timeseries instead.
  • CSV Handling: You can no longer build/deploy assets in .csv format; please use cdf data upload for those files.
  • GA Status: Support for Streams and Simulators is now officially GA.



We continue to release improvements and new resource types frequently. Most of these features have been available behind alpha flags for a while - thank you to our eager users for the constant feedback!
