Changelog #3

Friday is Changelog day! We'll keep you up-to-date with product and documentation changes on a regular basis.

Highlights

• Potentially my favorite project of 2022 -- @rawkode; in a hands-on preview of Namespace in Rawkode Live!
• Added a new Starting from scratch guide.
• Documented many of the core concepts, Applications and Servers, Resources and Workspaces and Packages.
• A special thank you to Ferenc who is our first major external contributor!
• ns: Simplified use of ingress, added ability to manage rbac using resources, and more.

We'd love your help! Follow us on Twitter for updates, star us on Github or join the team on Discord.

Hands-on introduction to Namespace

I spent some time with @rawkode walking through Namespace; had a ton of fun. We walked through the project background and where we're headed.

Documentation

We keep extending our documentation. Based on community feedback we've added a Starting from scratch guide, and there are more coming.

Platform

We're now up to ns 0.0.103 (from 0.0.91 in the last Changelog). A major thank you to Ferenc who contribute two of the features below.

New features

• You can now manage additional Kubernetes RBAC configurations your server may need using Namespace.
• You can now set secrets for servers you use that are outside of your workspace. This makes it simpler to use servers that are defined under foundation or other repositories.
• A new environment can now be created from ns prepare using --create_env.
• Services can now attach exec-based probes (previously only http probes were supported).
• You can now refer to individual tests using ns test.

Improvements

• We now perform stricter service name validation during planning, so invalid names surface as errors before we start deploying.ß
• The redis package has been updated with a readiness probe. Using redis in tests is now more deterministic.
• Resource classes can now configure a default provider.

Bugs fixed

• The managed ingress block displayed at the end of a deployment would sometimes show an empty checkbox, that's now been fixed.
• ns test didn't respect --parallel_work=false, now it does.

We've also been working on a few new features that we'll be announcing soon...
