February 2026: Delivered targeted quality and reliability improvements in cube-js/cube. Implemented a refactor of PreAggregationLoader to remove the 'query' property from QueryOptions and streamline queryOptions, reducing surface area and maintenance cost. Enforced initialization checks in the API gateway to ensure the SQL interface is initialized before use, with a clear error when not initialized, improving robustness and runtime safety. These changes reduce runtime failures, improve developer experience, and reinforce stable data-access pipelines.

March 2025: Implemented a MetaOnly flag in the Pre-aggregation API to support metadata-only retrieval. The flag allows requests to fetch metadata without executing full pre-aggregation logic, with integration across the gateway and refresh scheduler to control execution flow based on the metaOnly parameter. This delivers faster metadata discovery, reduces unnecessary compute, and improves resource utilization for analytics deployments.
