As part of our commitment to delivering the best possible tools and integration for developers and infrastructure teams, we are refocusing our efforts on maintaining and enhancing our core cloud integrations.

To support this shift, the following plugins have been deprecated and will be removed from the CloudQuery Hub soon:
• MixPanel
• Bitly
• Facebook Marketing
• Google Ads
• Google Analytics
• Typeform
• Shopify
• Plausible

We appreciate your understanding as we streamline our offerings to serve our community’s needs better. If you rely on any of these plugins, please plan accordingly and reach out if you need guidance on transitioning.

Wow. That’s unfortunate news.

I’m using several of those plugins Shopify, Facebook, GA.

I understand if you don’t have enough interest in continuing to maintain them, but can you at least open-source them and/or leave the last supported versions on CloudQuery plugin hub.

The fact that they yanked makes my installation/upgrade/migration path to new servers impossible.

You have left my setup in quite a mess.

Hey @konung

First of all, we really appreciate you reaching out and letting us know how this change has impacted your setup. We’re really sorry that we broke things for you, and we know how frustrating that can be.

We’re actively working on a way to allow you to download these binaries, and we’ll have a solution for you tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, and we’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more details.

Hey @konung,

As Joe mentioned, we’re really sorry that our deprecation and removal of these plugins broke your workflows.

As a result, we published the latest version binaries of the removed plugins for anyone to be able to download, at least for a certain period of time. The following can be downloaded and used:

After downloading the ones you need, you’ll have to extract them and configure to run locally:

unzip darwin_arm64
chmod +x plugin-shopify-v8.4.7-darwin-arm64

and point to the local binary in the cloudquery configuration file (example below):

kind: "source"
spec:
  name: "shopify"
  registry: "local"
  path: "/Volumes/cloudquery/plugin-shopify-v8.4.7-darwin-arm64"

Let us know if this works for you.

Thank you!

Got a copy of each plugin (just in case)

Would you consider open-sourcing deprecated / commercial plugins in the future? For the community to maintain?

So I got the plugin loading, but not working.

SIDENOTE:

For anyone on macOS, you may see a message “Apple could not verify “plugin-shopify-v8.4.7-darwin-arm64” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy” or similar.

You can disable that in settings OR from command line xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/plugin/executable

Here is my next hurdle - since this was a commercial/premium plugin - it expects to be configured on the cloudquery backend with a quota. But I’m getting this message:

cloudquery sync cloudquery-config/shopify-to-postgresql/

Loading spec(s) from cloudquery-config/shopify-to-postgresql/
Starting sync for: shopify (local@./local_plugins/shopify@v8.4.7/plugin-shopify-v8.4.7-darwin-arm64) -> [postgresql-shopify (cloudquery/postgresql@v7.3.5)]
Error: failed to sync v3 source shopify: unexpected error from sync client receive: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to sync records: failed to sync unmanaged client: failed to configure quota monitor: failed to get usage: 404 Not Found

I poked around in the web portal - and I don’t think I can configure it anymore.

P.S.:

I am logged in via cloudquery login

Indeed, that makes sense.

Don’t worry though, we’re looking into a solution for that and are currently evaluating our options on how we can make this work.

Regarding open-sourcing our premium plugins we decided against it a while back since it would not be an easy thing to do and we continue to stand by that decision, at least for the time being. You can always build your own plugin using our already open-source cloudquery/plugin-sdk and cover the APIs that you need.

Hey @konung, :waving_hand:

You should now be able to use the any one of the deprecated plugins to sync your data.

Again, we’re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you and we wish you would continue considering other CloudQuery Data Governance integrations for your other workflows.
