Focus on repo-aware assistants and private hosting. Alternatives that work well for SQL and Airflow: Cursor (repo-context completions), Tabnine, or Amazon CodeWhisperer. For strict security: host the model on-prem or in your VPC, use encrypted vector-store retrieval over private repos, disable external logging, and add pre-commit secret scanning plus DAG SAST. Validate by running prompt-injection and exfiltration tests in a staging repo.
