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 now runs by default on port 3030
• Router is no longer part of the core service, so usage of grpc-sdk 0.14 is needed

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

Conduit 0.13 is here 🎉 🎉

This release brings a lot of features, fixes and general improvements.

What's Changed

• Database introspection is now supported both for MongoDB and SQL DBs. You can trigger it through the Admin UI and use your existing database with Conduit.
• gRPC health checking protocol has been implemented for all services and proper statuses are now shown.
• Module-to-Module protection has been implemented so you can provide your own private key to secure internal Conduit communications. (This does not encrypt traffic however...yet)
• Client id/secret validation is now optional and off by default so you can begin working with Conduit faster
• Client id/secret has been corrected to not validate secrets for web clients but domain origins
• Client id/secret now supports aliases and notes
• Cookie support has been added so that you can authenticate without Authentication headers
• Implemented better checks for module availability so that dependencies are handled smoothly.
• Chat invitation notifications have been added, with email and push-notifications support so that users are not added automatically to rooms.
• You can now specify on the Authentication module if a user can have multiple active sessions either in general or per client.
• Alibaba Cloud is now supported as a storage provider
• Database CRUD operations can now be configured individually
• Types in the source code have been fixed in most places bringing our Codefactor code quality to A-! (we still have work to do)
• The service discovery system has been revamped (will be further improved in 0.14)

🚧 There are also a ton of bug fixes!
