Push Technology, the pioneer and leader in real-time data streaming and messaging solutions, today announced valuable enhancements to Diffusion Cloud – its Intelligent Event-Data Platform. The additions include a new REST adapter and improved data monitoring capabilities.

New REST Adapter
Development teams can quickly and inexpensively provide real-time experiences to customers, by transforming existing APIs into streaming data feeds, without the need to re-architect backend systems. With Diffusion doing the heavy lifting of distributing real-time data, developers can reduce traffic load on backend systems – resulting in consistently fast performance and reduced infrastructure requirements. In addition, developers now have the ability to specify custom headers/query parameters – which are necessary for polling authenticated APIs.

Capabilities:

Leverage the power of Diffusion to distribute existing APIs as highly efficient, real-time streaming feeds.
An out-of-the-box adapter to pull data from external REST API endpoints and into Diffusion.
Configure integrations with external REST APIs through the Diffusion Cloud Dashboard, or programmatically via Diffusion’s Management API.

Improved Monitoring
Diffusion Cloud is a mission-critical component of customers’ infrastructure. Monitoring improvements now makes it easier for Ops teams to understand how their Diffusion Cloud services are being used, identify anomalous behavior, and pro-actively respond to any potential issues before they impact end users.

Capabilities:

Live graphing and visualization of key usage metrics for “at a glance” service status.
More granular reporting of usage history, allowing fine-grained trend analysis and diagnostics.
Highlighting of usage thresholds and high/low summaries to inform capacity planning.

In summary, the redesign enables users to manage existing APIs and add new sources in a matter of seconds. It provides customers with greater visibility of their service’s live metrics and historic usage trends, with the dashboard overview now displaying live metrics for number of Connections and Topics. New graphs display Connection and Message usage over the past hour/day/week/month and summary data points are now shown (minimum/maximum connections, total number of messages and bytes).

Andréa Skov, Chief Marketing Officer for Push Technology, said: “Using the Cloud version of our Diffusion platform development teams can take an economical, fast, low-code approach to building next generation real-time, event-driven applications. We continually evolve our platform’s powerful, intelligent data management capabilities. These enhancements are driven by the digital transformation requirements of the companies we serve across the globe.”

Push Technology Releases Diffusion 6.8

Push Technology, the pioneer and leader in real-time data streaming and messaging solutions, today announced the release of Diffusion 6.8, the Intelligent Event-Data Platform that consumes, enriches, and delivers data among applications, systems, and devices. New features include the Diffusion Gateway Framework, expanded data wrangling calculations and conditionals, and journal logging.

Diffusion Gateway Framework

6.8 provides support for a new integration framework that allows users to write simple applications which can consume data from external data sources and publish to Diffusion topics or consume Diffusion topic updates and publish to external data sources. Such applications can be written without any detailed knowledge of Diffusion or any knowledge of Diffusion clients APIs. Such applications can be easily configured and managed from the Diffusion management console.

Topic views calculations and conditionals

Diffusion’s data wrangling capabilities continue to grow with the introduction of the new ‘process’ transformations within topic views. The process transformations allow calculations to be performed upon input JSON values and the results ‘set’ as fields in the output JSON. Removals are also supported. Diffusion also supports conditional processing that allows for reference topics to only be generated if specified conditions (based upon the input JSON value) are true. Conditions and calculations can be combined so that output fields are set to different values depending upon conditional statement with corresponding calculations.

Journal logging

In 6.8, observability is enhanced with the introduction of a journal log. This is a new optional log which can log significant events such as API calls to a separate log, recording timestamps and the originator (principal) of the event. This is useful for audit purposes and for tracking API usage. Its use is optional and is configurable to allow the specification of the exact events to be logged.

Other notable enhancements include:

Individual topic view retrieval: retrieve a single named topic view using a new getTopicView method available in all SDKs.
Metric collector improvements: group topic metric collectors by the number of path segments following the selector path prefix. This allows metric collector granularity down to individual topics if required. There is also now the option to limit the number of dimensions created by a topic or session metric collector. This prevents problems that might occur when selecting very fine granularity.

Andréa Skov, CMO of Push Technology, said: “Organizations are seeking strategies to shorten development timelines, reduce costs and get to market before the competition with their event driven, applications. With the new Diffusion release, we continue to support these objectives. Using our platform, development teams can take a low-code approach to building next generation event-driven applications which are critical to their digital transformation strategies.”
