Hector is the second named version of Guara Cloud. If Achilles was about growing up into a real product, Hector is about handing you tools that fit your daily grind, and letting the platform finally see itself end-to-end.
This release focuses on three things: putting more operations in your hands (query your database, see your audit trail, bring observability to the terminal), opening the catalog to change-data-capture pipelines, and making every platform request carry full context of who is doing what. The result is a nimbler dashboard, a more expressive catalog, and a platform that turns transparent the moment you need it to be.
SQL queries against your database, without leaving the dashboard
Postgres and MySQL from the catalog now answer straight from the UI.
Every Postgres and MySQL service in the catalog gained a SQL tab with an editor, a schema browser,
a history of your past queries, and a results table that handles thousands of rows without
flinching. Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to run, a cancel button for queries that got too warm, drafts that
survive a tab switch, and error messages that speak your language. Every execution is read-only by
construction, so you can explore freely without fear of breaking production.
Debezium and Conduit in the catalog
Capture changes from your database and send them wherever you need, no YAML required.
Two new catalog services bring native change-data-capture (CDC) to your project: Debezium for the heavy cases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB → NATS, Kafka, HTTP), and Conduit for lighter pipelines between varied sources and sinks. The wizard recognises the other services in your project, so you just pick the source and the destination from a dropdown, credentials and endpoints are on us. Use it to feed caches, react to changes in real time, or pipe data out of Guara Cloud without having to reinvent the pipeline.
Observability in your terminal
Metrics, traces, a project map, and a live observatory, all via the CLI.
Four new observability surfaces shipped to the CLI: guara services metrics for metrics and ASCII
charts, guara services traces for listing and drawing traces as a waterfall, guara projects map for your project’s service graph, and guara projects observatory for a live panel with
health, events, and traces. Everything accepts --watch for in-place refresh and --json for
piping into jq. In the same wave, guara catalog query and guara catalog schema bring SQL
into the terminal, perfect for pasting into a Makefile or a migration script.
The platform now sees itself
Every request, every job, every event, carrying full context end-to-end.
We rebuilt the platform’s telemetry layer so every log line and every trace span already ships with rich context, who acted, in which project, in which service, in which environment. That context follows the request all the way through, even across internal queues and async jobs. For you, this means: when something goes wrong, support opens your case and finds your needle in seconds, and we can spot regressions before you feel them. It’s the kind of improvement you don’t see, you just notice that questions become easier to answer.
Your audit trail, your way
See every action you ran on the platform, filter, and drill into rich metadata.
A new Audit Logs page arrived under Operations, dedicated to your own actions. Filter by action type, resource, project, and time window. Every row expands to show full metadata, who, from where, with what outcome. The view is strictly yours: you never see what other accounts did, and nobody else sees what you did. The page is fully keyboard-navigable and works on small screens, so you can audit a suspicious session from your phone if you need to.
Tougher, quieter
A round of security, reliability, and UX improvements that only show up when you go looking.
The new SQL tab is hardened against the classic injection and statement-smuggling tricks, and execution limits are now consistent even when the platform scales to multiple nodes serving the same team. The new CDC services come from verified releases with integrity checks at boot, so what you deploy is what we shipped. Error messages across the dashboard got clearer and never expose server internals; on the flip side, standardised error codes help the CLI and the API suggest the right next step. And the platform dashboard gained volume-usage panels, so nobody gets surprised by a full disk at three in the morning.
And across the platform
-
Volume usage panels and matching alerts in the platform health view, a full disk is no longer a surprise.
-
Audit Logs table with keyboard-expandable rows, pagination that doesn’t flash content between pages, and status messages screen readers understand.
-
SQL Query: drafts that survive a tab switch,
Cmd/Ctrl+Entershortcut, cancel button, and a schema tooltip showing types and nullability. -
Sibling-service picker in the catalog wizard: when a new service needs another, it already reads the candidates from your project and shows them with brand icons.
-
Bilingual docs (pt-br + en) for every new capability, SQL Query, Debezium, Conduit, CLI observability, and the new commands.
-
Standardised error codes across the frontend, paired with short, actionable toast messages.
-
Sharpened accessibility across the new components: visible focus, screen-reader labels, keyboard shortcuts that fire only where they should.
And more, a handful of small touches across the dashboard, quieter messages, tighter copy, and a fleet of improvements we’d rather ship than narrate.
