v0.9.0

Oh dang, this is getting good...

Now you can peek into your Ensign Topics, poke around, and preview all kinds of data!

Ensign is now more like a database than ever before! Take advantage of EnSQL - a query language that you're already familiar with to fetch historic data from your topics and perform analytics to determine how your data is changing even faster! Want to know how many events or how much data storage your topic is taking? Our new topic detail page will not only give you all the details of the event types that you have published, but give you the ability to query them directly!

Looking for inspo? Check out The Data Playground, a curated set of data sources, asynchronous data science use cases, and sample code to help get you started. In just a few steps, generate a time-series dataset for analytics and modeling using Ensign!

Ensign UX/UI Updates

• Users can now easily navigate to the Topic Detail page
• Users can interact with their data inside of a topic to better understand what's happening inside of the topic and to see the default topic policies and settings
• Documentation refresh including additions to the Ensign FAQ page
• Schema diagrams have been added for each Data Playground data source, along with enhanced descriptions and use cases for each source
• Improvements to the registration process for new users - less clicks are required to create an account!
• Project detail page refactored with updated copy & removal of excess tooltips

Ensign Core Improvements

• Mimetype detection
• EnSQL
• New Broker system
• Enhanced topic and event storage

v0.7.1

We want Ensign to be the best possible user experience and so we work hard to fix bugs and add performance and maintenance updates whenever we can. In this release we fixed a number of CSS issues with the Beacon UI, fixed a bug in the PLG report, and added better Sentry performance tracking so that we can respond to issues much more quickly.

v0.7.0

It's like a database, but better! Ensign's Lightweight Project Management feature is now live!! 🚈

What's New

Welcome to Ensign v0.7.0 — now with the ability to flexibly modify and manage your Ensign Projects.

What is an Ensign Project?

Great question! In Ensign, a project is a database for events — a collection of datasets related by use case. Most databases you've used can only provide static snapshots of the data they contain — like freeze-framing on all your customers, products, assets, employees, etc. Ensign is special; it stores all chronological updates to each object, so you can observe changes and activity in your data feeds, applications, and models.

Even better, you can

• Control who has read and write access to the data by generating API keys.
• Use our SDKs to publish data to your project topics or subscribe to read updates in real-time. Speaking of, this release includes major updates to the SDKs to improve the user experience of using Ensign Publishers and Subscribers.

In other news.

Our CTO @rebeccabilbro has had a talk accepted at GopherCon 2023 in San Diego, CA -- if you'd like to learn more about Ensign; you can meet her, @bbengfort, and the team there!

v0.6.0

Bring your friends, the more the merrier; Ensign's Teammates feature is now live!! 👯

What's New

Welcome to Ensign v0.6.0 — now with the ability to use Ensign collaboratively with your colleagues and co-tinkerers.

The Teammates feature is kind of a big deal, since one Ensign's key missions is to enhance data collaboration across organizations and teams. With this new feature, you can now use Ensign's web UI to:

• Invite collaborators to join your organization.
• Update fine-grained permissions for each person on your team to determine how much control they can have.
• Join someone else's organization, and toggle between your individual organization and any others you belong to.
• Get details about the organizations you belong to, including your teammates and their statuses.
• and more!

Ready to get started? If you don't already have an account, create one here. If you already have an account and are ready to add teammates, login and navigate to the new "Teams" tab on the lefthand side menu!
