March 2025 performance highlights for cloudquery/cloudquery: Delivered critical feature and validation improvements that enhance data integrity and user experience, while reducing noise from version checks. Key feature: CloudQuery Transformer now supports add_primary_keys to define primary keys for tables, with impacts across the schema updater, record updater, and configuration docs. Validation logic updated to recognize the new add_primary_keys kind, ensuring correct transformation handling. Key bug fixes: Version validation now triggers only when using the CloudQuery Registry or GitHub registry with the cloudquery organization, avoiding unnecessary warnings for other registries. Overall impact: stronger data modeling fidelity, more reliable schema updates, and a cleaner user experience with fewer false-positive warnings. Technologies/skills demonstrated: transformation plugin design, cross-component integration (schema/record updaters), robust validation logic, and registry-aware version checks.
