200 - Uncharted Territories

Last modified by Erik Bakker on 2023/06/22 13:26

In the last sprint cycle, we focused on improving various aspects of the portal functionality. Among others, we focused on the next-generation architecture and others.

Please find out more on our Release blog.

Minor changes
  • Create - Flow Designer: it is possible to select multiple components by area selection on the area with a scrollbar.
  • Create - Flow designer: The new best practices have updated Kafka components' default values. Updated values are:
    • For Kafka templates:
      • Batch size: 200000
      • Linger: 300
    • For Kafka message listener containers
      • Fetch min. amount: 100000

The existing Kafka components in your flows will automatically be updated with the new best practice values. To make deploying these changes more effortless for you, we will create a new version of your flows after updating the values (versions will be created in the name of model contacts) and transfer them to the Deploy phase. You can then create and deploy a new release with updated flow versions.

  • Deploy - Cloud Templates: New Cloud Templates are available for single-lane and double-lane environments. Please check out the cloud template release notes for more information.
  • Deploy - Architecture: We removed the deprecated reminder popup to update your cloud slot template. The automated upgrade feature replaces it alongside the "Upgrade" functionality in Deploy - Architecture.
  • Deploy - Deployment plan: We updated the right pane of the deployment plan to make it more compatible with the new runtime generation. Now, you can see all related logs regarding your deployment. By default, we only show some necessary logs, such as error logs, warning logs, and started runtime information logs. You can use the filter logs icons at the top of the list to show more information.
  • Deploy - Deployment plan: We updated the logic within our deployment plan functionality. The deployment step that disables all enabled triggers from the Manage phase disables triggers till you exit the deployment plan overview. That means that those triggers will be re-enabled after you move away from the deployment process or close the browser. Furthermore, there is no deployment step configuration to "enable" triggers anymore.

Bug fixes

  • Deploy - Architecture: We improved timeout settings to give Stop, Restart, and Reset runtime actions enough time to execute. (#957)
  • Design - Store: Importing into "Design" from the store is possible, even if the integration is not in Create yet.
  • Manage - Monitoring: Detailed HTTP statistics will now show the correct user in case of API key authorization in more cases. Note that this functionality requires a newly deployed release. (#956)
  • Manage - Manage Dashboards: The screen loading speed is significantly improved for all models. This is most noticeable for larger models. (#964)
