5.23 Homepage Builder and Search, Lakehouse Federation (EA), and new Events for Product and Subscription Approvals

Lakehouse Federation (Early Access)

• As an early access feature, some environments can now enable Lakehouse Federation for the following connectors: Microsoft SQL, MySQL, BigQuery and Snowflake.

• To enable ‘At Source’ assets to be created from these connectors, simply select the ‘Enable ‘at source’ assets’’ option when creating or editing an existing connector. This will automatically set up a federated connection and catalog behind the scenes. 

Homepage Builder

• Ecosystem Admins can now use a simple form-style page builder to structure and populate homepages (replacing the previous json editor)

New Search section on Homepage

• If search is turned on for a Homepage, users see a search input in the hero section that lets them find products. The user can either click on one of the listed products to navigate to that product’s page, or view all results on the Exchange
