Unqork released four major updates to its Codeless-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform in Q3 and Q4, 2022. All four new features, which take advantage of Unqork’s pioneering work in codeless architecture, significantly increase the productivity and agility of developers (we call them creators) in three key areas:
Unqork has introduced Multi-Region Highly Available Environments to deliver next-level reliability and improve overall customer performance. Before, customer environments were available across multiple zones in one region. With the new multi-region environments, customers have access to environments that span multiple regions and multiple zones. This provides additional redundancy for local failures and regional service procedure outages. Unqork will route creators and end-users depending on latency to the best region, allowing them to optimize performance and improve resiliency. The new multi-region configurations are supported in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific.
Benefits:
Access to readily available and high-quality data for analysis is critical for today’s enterprises. However, traditional data warehouses are often inefficient for modern technology requirements and rely on BI connectors to make data analytics-ready.
The problem is, BI connectors are not a sustainable solution in today’s rapidly evolving environments. They are hard to set up and maintain. They introduce an added layer of security risk to manage. And each new query or view requires time-consuming backend configuration.
In response to these challenges, Unqork has launched a series of ETL-based solutions that eliminate these roadblocks, the first of which is Analytics ETL Service for Snowflake.
Now, you can seamlessly and securely consolidate application data from disparate sources within Snowflake’s extremely flexible, performant environment. The easy-to-use solution enables you to extract data from any system and move it to a Snowflake environment daily (or more often if required). Benefits include:
As the digital footprints of organizations expand, controlling access to sensitive data is critically important. However, traditional methods for safeguarding data and limiting access to authorized users are tedious, time-consuming, and resource-intensive.
In response, Unqork has launched Workspaces Role Based Access Control (WSRBAC), which helps developers control and manage access across their entire organization based on individual roles or groups. Now, teams can work independently within a single Unqork environment without gaining unauthorized access to the work of other teams.
WSBRAC establishes two levels of hierarchy for access to Unqork. Environment roles provide access across all workspaces. Workspace roles provide access to the contents of individual workspaces, per request.
In addition to establishing these hierarchies, WSRBAC increases the productivity of creators by enabling them to:
NOTE: WSRBAC is being released to Staging and UAT environments gradually. You’ll receive an in-product announcement when this feature is available in your environment.

Optimizing workflows is critical in today’s hypercompetitive market, yet developers typically lack the ability to preview or audit them—or roll them back to a previous version should the need arise. Questions naturally arise as developers are trying to update or optimize workflows. Who created the workflow, and what was their logic?
Similarly, there are security issues at stake when it comes to workflow versioning. For example, did the developer who has made a change have the proper credentials? Without version history, it can be hard, even impossible, to answer these critical questions.
Finally, the inability to preview or roll back workflows is a drag on productivity, agility, and innovation. On one hand, developers lack the confidence to test out multiple scenarios or try creative new solutions. On the other hand, they may hesitate to implement a new innovation, because they cannot revert to a previous version, should a problem arise.
To address these challenges, Unqork has launched Workflow Version History. By allowing creators to preview, audit, and restore previous versions of a workflow, Workflow Version History enables organizations to:
