v0.14.0

ConduitPlatform/Conduitv0.14.0Jul 15, 2022by kkopanidis

AI Summary

Conduit 0.14 introduces a major architecture refactor where Security and Router have been extracted from the core into a standalone microservice, allowing individual scaling. The core now handles only admin routes, service-discovery, and configuration management, using Redis as the primary store and no longer requiring the database to fully initialize.

Key Highlights

Major architecture change: Router extracted from core into standalone microservice for individual scaling
Core no longer has hard database dependency - uses Redis as primary store
Admin server now defaults to port 3030 without /admin prefix
Admin now supports GraphQL and sockets
Config update endpoint changed from POST to PATCH operation

Breaking Changes

Admin HTTP server now defaults to port 3030 (previously different)
Admin HTTP server no longer uses /admin prefix
Admin ports now specified via ADMIN_HTTP_PORT and ADMIN_SOCKET_PORT
Router no longer part of core service - requires grpc-sdk 0.14
Config update admin route changed from POST to PATCH operation

New Features

Router can now be individually scaled as a standalone microservice
Core does not have hard dependency on database (required for admin functionality)
Admin now supports GraphQL and WebSocket connections
Database engine connection retry attempts during startup
Schema collection names renamed for new deployments

Full Release Notes

Conduit 0.14 is here 🎉 🎉

This release is focused on stability, performance improvements and cleanups.

tldr; The Conduit Core now handles only admin routes, service-discovery and configuration management. Security and Router have been merged and extracted from core into a standalone microservice. The core also no longer requires the database to fully initialize, it uses Redis as a primary store.

Breaking Changes:
- Admin's HTTP server now defaults to port `3030`
- Admin's HTTP server no longer uses an `/admin` prefix
- Admin's http/socket ports are now specified via `ADMIN_HTTP_PORT` and `ADMIN_SOCKET_PORT`
- Router is no longer part of the core service, so usage of grpc-sdk 0.14 is needed
- Config update admin route is now a `PATCH` operation

Features:
- Router can be individually scaled now
- Core does not have a hard dependency on the database (it is required to be running in order for admin to work though)
- Admin now supports GraphQL and sockets
