Concourse Update (Mar 12–16)
Its been a first week in a long time where we were back to full strength and fully co-located. It was nice!
Oh, and Concourse v3.9.2 was released this week as well,check it out!
On to our update:
UX
- Started to make our dashboard a bit more mobile friendly #1712
- Started to tackle the problem where our dashboard holds too many open connections #1806
Core
- Removed a dependancy to provide an external URL for fly execute #2069. To quote Alex Suraci:
“It also makes the ‘getting started with Docker’ flow a bit complicated on platforms like Darwin where Docker is actually run via a Linux VM, in a separate namespace. fly execute can’t be made to automatically work; the container IP would probably work for fly execute but isn’t really what they should be setting as the external URL (as they can’t reach it from their own machine).”
- Continued our refactoring of Concourse APIs to support multiple teams
Runtime
- Completed work on #2070, making it so that workers can retry against multiple TSAs
- Picked up a reported issue around custom resources on tagged workers #1371. We’re not quite sure how it got so bad
Docs
We’ve been working on a new website! The focus of it is to make it less flashy, less marketing, and more content driven. The design of it is still in progress but we want to start sharing it out very soon 👍
