Sometimes, you end up creating duplicates, when you create URLs and handles from a large CMS installation and various other sources in the Enterspeed Management app. In the app, URLs and handles are collectively referred to as routes, and these routes are created during processing. Enterspeed allows developers a lot of flexibility in creating routes, but since Enterspeed relies on the source systems, it'll generate duplicate routes if that’s how the data is structured.

It requires careful developers consideration, when you create the correct route since everything happens asynchronously, without direct human oversight, and across multiple data sources. Over the past few months, we've tweaked almost every part of our route processing to provide developers with clear insights into the routes that are created.

Below is an example from the Route inspector that shows the duplicates, the schema, and the source entity from which the route originates.

When debugging JavaScript it's often useful to use the console object to print out values to the console.

With the latest update, we've now added support for this when using the Test schema feature in the Enterspeed Management App. We hope this'll make it easier for you to debug and test your schemas.

You can read more about the console object support and see examples on the Enterspeed doc site.

By default, you get IntelliSense in the Enterspeed JavaScript schemas by the @type expression defined in the top of the schemas (/** @type {Enterspeed.FullSchema} */). However, this only provides IntelliseSense for the functions and the known properties of the source entity – not the custom properties containing all the data of a source entity.

With the introduction of the new generic versions of the Enterspeed schema types, you can now work with strongly typed custom properties in your schemas by providing a type for your source entity described in JSDoc (/** @type {Enterspeed.FullSchema<MySourceEntityType>} */).

If you are working with strict types of your source entities, this could be useful and make it easier for you to work with your schemas as you get IntelliSense and defined types on custom properties which could also prevent potential errors.

You can read more about the JSDoc support and see examples on the Enterspeed doc site.

The log viewer in the Enterspeed Management App just received a huge update 🪵

The update focuses on two things: Making it easier to find the right logs, and making it easier to get an overview of the logs.

With the new update, you can now filter on a long list of properties – and not only level, service, and source entity id as before. You can add multiple filters, select operators like is, is not and in – and you can even add filters directly from a specific log entry in order to find logs with similar values. This should improve your chance of finding the log entries you are logging for quite a bit. And not only a single log entry, but also other log entries leading up to the event in order to figure out what started it.

The log list has a set of default columns (Timestamp, Level, Service and Message), but from a specific log entry, you can now toggle any property to be visible in the list as well. This'll give you a better overview when you begin to dig into the list of log entries.

Besides the two new main features, there's a long list or minor improvements, like filtering on relative time intervals, improved navigation options to related objects, and more readable teaser messages.

Go ahead and check it out. We hope you enjoy the new update 🚀

Quickly finding the right file is important in order to work efficiently in any code base and the same goes for the schemas in Enterspeed.

On the Schemas page you can now click the small Search in schemas icon to the right of the search field in order to search by content.

This means the you can now find all schemas with a trigger on a specific source entity type or all schemas with a reference to a specific schema or partial schema that you are maybe considering changing or deleting.

The search result is displayed nicely with highlighting of the specific lines where a match was found.

We continue to expand the list of destinations that you can setup directly in the Management app. Today, we have added two new destinations:

1️⃣ Elastic Search

2️⃣ Clerk.io

Read more about how to use these destinations in our documentation.

If you have logged in to your Enterspeed tenant this week, we are sure that you have already noticed what we are now announcing. But we enjoy launch announcements too much to just drop the feature without a post!

We have included 5 key metrics for your Enterspeed tenant:

• Number of source entities
• Number of Delivery API requests
• Data storage usage
• Queued jobs
• Delivery API availability and server response time

Keep an eye on your plan usage

All Enterspeed tenants have an associated plan, and instead of only being notified when you have crossed your usage limits, you can now keep an eye on your usage directly from the dashboard.

For source entities, this is a simple number of source entities currently ingested and a tick marking the limit on your specific plan.

The graph for Delivery API requests includes two numbers. First, the actual number of used Delivery API requests in the current month. Secondly, we calculate the projected number of Delivery API requests for the current month. It uses a simple forecast model by looking at the previous usage in the current month and projecting that to the end of the month. The tick marks the limit of Delivery API requests.

The third metric shows the current data storage for your tenant. The data storage is the size of all the ingest source entities and again, the tick marks the limit.

Queued jobs

Enterspeed prepares all data asynchronously so that website visitors don't have to wait. When new data is ingested or a schema is deployed, this triggers the processing and one or more jobs are added to the queue. When you ingest a large amount of source entities or deploy one or more schemas that trigger on a large number of source entities, you can now monitor the progress from the app.

Delivery API stats

Availability and performance are the foundation of Enterspeed, and we track these metrics rigorously internally. Now all of our users can follow the global availability and performance metrics across all tenants from the dashboard.

We want to add a small note to the Server response time metric. We monitor this from the Enterspeed application, so we can't include network latency, DNS, and SSL handshaking in this metric. If you want to monitor this, you need to use your own APM tools from the client side.

Let us know what you think

If you have any questions or feedback regarding the metrics dashboard, then we highly appreciate if you share it with us. Please reach out on your Slack support channel or via support@enterspeed.com

Enterspeed is no different from other software; things go wrong, and then you need to figure out why. So we are very happy to announce that you can now access the logs for our destinations the Enterspeed Management app.

If you just want to see how it works, then head over to Settings and the Logs section ➡️

If you want to read more about the feature, then we recommend reading our What to Do When Things Go Wrong blog post?

Only last week, we announced the availability of creating and managing the Algolia, Azure Service Bus, and Webhooks destinations via the Management app. Today, we are expanding the list of destinations to include:

1️⃣ Relewise

2️⃣ Typesense

3️⃣ Elastic App Search

Read more about how to use these destinations in our documentation.

We're thrilled to announce this update: Destinations can now be configured via the management app 🎉

What are Destinations? They're your gateway to effortless integration with third-party services like Algolia and for custom integrations with Azure Service Bus, and Webhooks. With Destinations, pushing data where it's needed has never been easier.

Previously a feature by request, Destinations are now available to all tenants via the Enterspeed Management App.
