Storage Form Uploads Deprecation

We are deprecating rarely used Storage HTTP Form Upload. This type of upload is supported only in US KBC region and is using legacy AWS Signature Version 2. The upload can be replaced by direct S3 upload using AWS SDK or by Importer Service for POCs or smaller files. We’ll notify projects using this type of upload to help them migrate.

Delayed orchestrator in EU region

[13.07.2018 10:45 CET]

We're currently investigating delayed orchestrator launches in EU region. 

[13.07.2018 11:13 CET]

There was a problem with one of our nodes that delayed and in some cases even made it impossible to launch orchestrations. All affected customers are now moved to a new node and orchestrator operates normally. We're monitoring the performance of other nodes to make sure everything works. 

We also notices somewhat similar behavior in one of the nodes in US region. We retired the node as well as a preventive measure. So far we have no information of any customer impacted by this issue in US region. 

New version of Sklik Extractor

Our Sklik Extractor gets a new version updated to use Sklik API version Drak. It allows you to download data about any resource supporting methods createReport and readReport (see Seznam's blog post for more information). 

The new API uses different logic for structuring the data so unfortunately, we can't offer automatic migration. See extractor's documentation for more information about its configuration.

The old extractor is deprecated and will be shut down by the end of August.

Week In Review -- July 9, 2018

New Components

Updated Components

  • The GoodData Reports extractor now accepts an optional host parameter so it will work in the EU or any custom domain.
  • The Email Attachments extractor has been updated with the following improvements
    • It now strictly enforces the one text file attachment per email rule
    • It ignores any non-textual attachments (signature images etc...)
    • It can process multiple emails simultaneously
  • The Gmail Extractor no longer has a limit of 65k for fields (backend storage limits still apply)

Minor Improvements
