Goals and Design

Low-frills installation for API support without breaking vendor integrations, suitable for pilot testing on Azure.

• Multiple Data Standards - 3.2.0-c for ODS/API 5.0 compatibility
• Flesh out the Internal OAuth 2 Client Credential Provider
• Script out Azure deployment - approach TBD: PowerShell / ARM, Kubernetes, Serverless?
• Standardize Error Messages
• Log Monitoring with Azure Monitor?
• Performance testing

Architecture

Release

https://github.com/Ed-Fi-Exchange-OSS/Meadowlark/releases/tag/v0.3.0

Project Status

While not yet production-ready, we think this release is strong enough for some pilot testing with SIS vendors in the field, with the goal of finding out

• What is broken compared to the ODS/API release? There may be edge cases that we don't know about, or that we thought were unimportant.
• What do deployments look like? And what more should be built into the platform to support those deployments?

What's Changed

• Real OAuth2 authentication (client credentials flow), using a built-in OAuth2 provider
• Docker support: docker image pull edfialliance/meadowlark-ed-fi-api:v0.3.0
• MongoDB and OpenSearch optimizations with respect to transactions and error handling
• OpenSearch: some of the querystring functionality is broken, and will be restored in an upcoming release
• Numerous bug fixes on API routes and payload validation
• Fastify clustering for multi-threaded operation
• Thorough documentation of configuration options.
