Affogata Release Notes for September 2025: Smarter Topics, Sharper Dashboards, Stronger Workflows

Hello again,

The summer is up, Gamescom is behind us and the real work begins! We’ve brewed an update that will get you going on the right foot. This update is all about clarity and control. We’ve completely overhauled topic management, added smarter dashboard period-over-period comparisons, and released our new Data Integration Layer (cutting-edge tech to bring your Player Experience data and insights into your Data Ware/Lakehouse). Combined with key performance fixes and infrastructure upgrades, August brings a smoother, sharper Affogata experience from end to end.

Let’s take a closer look…👇

 

🌟 Feature Highlights

 

Topics Revamp & Smart Organization

A complete overhaul of topic management designed for scale and ease of use:

  • Fresh Topics UI – streamlined editing screen and folder-based navigation
  • Boolean Code Editor – define topics with precision using a powerful query editor
  • Improved Error Handling – more resilient editing and fewer disruptions
  • Smart Tooltips – instant topic transparency in search and dashboard
  • Dashboard Visibility – view topic content directly from widgets for faster context
  • Search Capabilities – easily locate and manage topics across large workspaces

👉 This update solves long-standing pain points around topic organization and collaboration, and introduces enterprise-grade control.

  • Engagements
  • Potential reach


Pro Tip:
Compare any timeframe up to 92 days with automatic previous-period analysis.

In addition to our API, Affogata now offers
direct relational data syncing to BigQuery, Databricks, and Snowflake via Iceberg tables.

  • Automated streaming updates keep your lakehouse or warehouse fresh, with zero work on your end. No syncing scripts, no backfills, no boundaries!
  • Extensible data model you can work with as is (and/or create views or transformations on)
  • Granular admin controls let you decide exactly what syncs to your systems. As the Affogata stakeholder, you decide what’s the sanctioned view for your organization – and other stakeholders will get exactly that

👉 Turn customer voice into a structured data that you can use directly in your BI, AI and Data Science tools – for ROI analysis, churn insights, dashboarding, conversion tracking … the possibilities are truly endless.
