Announcing Eclipse Ditto Release 3.0.0
The Eclipse Ditto teams is proud to announce the availability of Eclipse Ditto 3.0.0.
With 3.0.0, the required amount of different service roles was reduced from 6 to only 5 as the “ditto-concierge” service’s responsibilities (performing authorization) was moved to other services.
That reduces the overall resource consumption and network traffic of a Ditto installation.
The other big topic for version 3.0.0 is the new search index which does not only respond much quicker to search queries, but also brings lots of performance improvements regarding MongoDB utilization and also a huge stabilization regarding consistency of the search in Ditto.
Many other new features and improvements are also part of the release, e.g. a new HTTP API for managing connections and even the first version of a Ditto UI.
Adoption
Companies are willing to show their adoption of Eclipse Ditto publicly: https://iot.eclipse.org/adopters/?#iot.ditto
From our various feedback channels we however know of more adoption.
If you are making use of Eclipse Ditto, it would be great to show this by adding your company name to that list of known adopters.
In the end, that’s one main way of measuring the success of the project.

The following non-functional work is also included:
