Meeting Materials

  • Agenda

  • Use Cases for Tenant Management API

Notes

These note complement the slide deck above and make the most sense when read along with the deck.

  • Workgroup and member intro

  • Discuss purpose and scope

    • Mandate from TC to start work group to discuss API Publisher, Admin App,and other tools to develop

  • What do you want to tackle here?

  • Ed-Fi Tools 2024 Roadmap Review

    • Admin API replaced Admin App

      • EA - we are still only deploying 2.1, based on our work load, also based on historical release have worked around breaking change

        • Can expand to other Ed-Fi products, e.g. ODS/API 7.1

      • SF - don’t understand why it’s a blocker when 5.2 is backward compatible with 5.1

        • EA - we saw table change in 5.2

        • SF - will follow up

      • JH - inform Customer Support Team with bugs; we have upgraded QA operation and improved documentation

      • EdWire - documented changes are helpful; we can forward the ones we have with the upgrades

        • Discussed in MSP SIG - Potential to have a release channel? 

        • SF - we have pre-release binaries or Docker image; just need to let you know where to find those

        • EdWire - We can do pre-flight testing ahead of time and provide feedback to you before production

        • SF - which code are you using?

          • EA - we grab the Docker image, just using that as base and add our modification

          • EdWire - we pull the full source, assuming we need to debug

      • SF -when we have a specific bug fix but not ready to do a patch release

      • JH - Support team can release a Docker image for pre-release

      • EdWire - sometimes we pull the codes down for security scanning, to address the dependency fixes

        • JF - we always have to adopt the code for some infrastructure

        • For 7.1, if we don’t want to hardcode the tenants, we have to do source code to make it more scannable

      • EA - we run straight Ed-Fi code

      • JF - we want to support both models, understand the utilities, and build pipeline

      • EdWire - going forward, we can probably go some code contribution with multi tenancy

    • API Publisher 1.1

      • EA - using a lot for SC and TX, doing everything we need it to

        • But we are not on the latest release, need to take the code and modify to get log in to work

        • Problem with how log message is sent

        • JH - will put a ticket on this issue

        • How long and how many to get matrix out

      • SF - need to think about difference between basic application that is running and to limit tree log in

      • EA - we want to put a UI in front of it, actual error or actual payload

        • SF - maybe data import, can add database synch

        • EdWire - it’s another database to maintain, there are already a lot of pattern in native library

        • SF - error to collect to find options

      • EA - another issue with TX is they want to put grade limit on API

        • Control how many request can be sent

        • SF - Rate limit with Status code 429, .NET package “POLLY”?

        • SF - problem Circuit breaker multi threaded

        • Jason  to Mark -  please make that a CSR / Salesforce ticket!

      • EdWire - other implementation in TX, error may be with API itself

        • SF - adding rate limit directly to API

      • EdWire - different client may have different performance requirement

        • For us, it’s at the tenant level

        • For rate limit, Publisher needs to learn from Ed-Fi

        • Can 429 provide response

        • EA -  429 response does not include what the limits are

        • SF - David or JF - open ticket on rate limiting on ODS/API

  • Tenant Management API

  • Group discussion & next meeting schedule review

    • Admin API

      • EdWire - hitting performance issue with 2x line

      • JH - Release this month with enhancement for 2x and maintenance for 1x

      • EdWire - support for multi data standard with 7.x
