Morph is a new database migration tool designed to improve Mattermost schema migrations. It can be used programmatically with a library and from a CLI. Morph stores the schema version in a table, where all applied migrations are persisted. It’s a flexible open source library that can be used with a driver interface implementation and a source to read migration scripts from. The engine uses a dependency injection pattern so that any implementation can be used with the library.
Mattermost v7.0 is generally available today and includes three of our top five most requested features, based directly on your input in our feature idea forum. The following new features are all included (see changelog for more details).
Building software is hard. Building cloud software is even harder because things move much faster — and require mission-critical reliability and availability. To effectively build software in the cloud, engineering teams need observability, CI/CD, reporting, and lots of tooling. At every organization I’ve worked at, we’ve needed a system of tools that lets us: But all the tools available to engineering teams never quite fit together with our specific processes.
For teams that follow a structured build and release cycle, having a reliable, shared workflow makes the difference between chaos and consistency. With every new feature in development the team needs to know what the specs are, how it fits in the roadmap, what the customer feedback was, where to find the repository, who is responsible for each step, and so much more.
Releasing software to users has become a sophisticated and intricate process that requires high levels of consistency and coordination. A release has to be built, brought together, documented, tested and deployed, which requires coordination of at least four separate teams and a generous handful of pipelines and other tools. Without a well-documented process things can get messy very quickly, causing stress for everyone involved.
Whether you’re part of a team managing SaaS products or a high-security digital workspace, sometimes Things Go Wrong and must be addressed with extreme care, professionalism, and predictability. For outages, data breaches, vulnerabilities and more, you and your team are juggling a variety of tools, processes, and rigid incident management systems. When the on-call pager goes off at 3 am almost no one has the ability to remember every step needed to kick off all the response workflows.
The Apps Framework is an important tool in the Mattermost developer toolbox for easily creating integrations and customized workflows—written in any language and deployed with serverless hosting. The Apps Framework complements the existing ecosystem of plugins, slash commands, bots, and webhooks. As of Mattermost version 6.6, the Apps Framework is now generally available for all cloud and self-hosted deployments.
Node.js is one of the best and most widely used Javascript runtimes used for building APIs. But, this popularity status has led to many hackers distributing insecure modules that exploit the Node.js application or provide a weak point for exploitation. In this tutorial, you will learn how to audit Node.js modules and also detect vulnerabilities in modules using npm audit.
Welcome to the 9th edition of Open Source Matters: our regular publication about the latest happenings in open source! Let’s dive into the news.
Suppose you have to use your phone or other devices frequently, and you don’t want to type your password every time you wish to access an application. By implementing Trusted Device authentication, your system will recognize the device’s authentication and help you log in to the application quickly and safely. The whole process will not only save your time but will also allow you to witness an advanced authentication procedure.
