SBT

SBT v1.0 - November 4, 2025

This release introduces the groundwork for a new improved set of SBT development capabilities. This initial release primarily lays that foundation but focuses on supporting backwards compatibility so apps built before SBT 1.0 work in this new framework.

For more detail on what exactly is needed and capable, you can read more in the SBT 1.0 Welcome Guide.

🐞 Patch Release v0.3.1

Bug Fix

  • Fix bug where python model source references were not recognized if they were lowercase

⚙️ New Release: v0.3.0

Dynamic Config Powered by TOML

SBT has replaced it's .env based configuration with a more robust and dynamic configuration system powered by TOML.

  • TOML provides more structure than .env files
  • Multiple different configurations can be stored in a single file, and sbt commands can swap between configs based on CLI options
  • Use sbt init-config to create a new sbtconf.toml file in your project, it will walk you through setting up one block of configs, then you can customize the file as needed to support multiple configurations
  • See SBT Configuration for more information

Runtime Source + Param Overrides via TOML

  • Add [overrides.name.sources] and [overrides.name.models] to your sbtconf.toml to override sources and models at runtime
  • As many different named blocks of overrides as you need can be saved in the config file
  • In sbt run commands, pass the --overrides name option to pull the source and param value mappings from the TOML

See SBT Configuration for more information

Token Based Auth with Insight Cloud

Multi-App Deploys using tags

  • New YAML config key on the app object called tags
  • Use tags to group apps together for deployment
  • upload-app and publish-app now take an optional --tag flag which will run it's process for all apps that have that tag

🐛 Patch Release: v0.2.1

Bugs

  • Model casing bug

🚀 New Release: v0.2.0

This released focused on enhancing the user experience and improving the performance of the Seek platform. Here are the key highlights of this release:

Schema Adherence

  • Define schemas for your data with column names, data types, value constraints, and metadata
  • Attach those schemas to sources and models to ensure inbound and outbound data is formatted as expected
  • Use the new validate cli commands and flags to check your data against your schemas

Quality of Life Enhancements

  • Halt app processing should a model fail
  • Stricter validation of model and app configurations
  • Ensure required fields are present, ensure valid values are given, provide errors if not
  • Add --debug to run-app to get printed out call proc statements
  • Ensure all models and apps have unique names
  • Output model name before running it...easier to understand what model run is currently executing
  • Install model deps during local run
  • SBT will attempt to install any missing dependencies before running a model in the current python environment

New Helper Commands

This version of SBT introducers new helper commands to guide new SBT developers through setting up a new model or app.

Run sbt new model to walk through prompts that help you create a new model in your project.

Run sbt new app to walk through prompts that help you create a new app in your project.
