The LoopBack team greeted November with the CASCONxEVOKE conference in Toronto. CASCONxEVOKE is one of Canada's largest combined academic, research and developer conferences. As its speakers and attendees, we had a booth with posters to advocate LoopBack, and also delivered a workshop about developing extensible LoopBack applications. You can check this blog for more details.

For Q4 achievements, we finished 3 epics this month: Inclusion of related models, Deployment guide in a cloud native environment and Support partitioned database in Cloudant connector, and significantly progressed in the Migration, Authentication & Authorization epics.

All the leaves are red and the flowers are fading away. In this season of fruitfulness, the LoopBack team accomplished their planned September milestone goals. Besides delivering code-related contributions, we also addressed the growing number of reported issues from the growing number of users from the GitHub community. I believe that with the effort from our team and the contribution from the community, we are crafting LoopBack to a better framework.

Here are our main focuses from September:

  • Enhancement of Authentication/Authorization
  • Declarative Building of REST APIs
  • Importing of LB3 Model JSON File To LB4 Model Class
  • Inclusion Resolver in Relations

See the September milestone for an overview of what we have worked on, and read on for more details.

The last month of summer started with exiting news that LoopBack won the "Best in API Middleware award"🎉, which is a great recognition of our team's achievement and effort. With those efforts in mind, here's the highlights of what we worked on in August:

  • The implementation of InclusionResolver has made significant progress in the Inclusion epic.
  • A new epic to simplify building REST APIs is started with some pre-work and spike.
  • We contributed a LoopBack stack for Kabanero/Appsody to enable cloud native development experience.
  • The first version of @loopback/authorization was released for users to try.

This July 20th was the 50th anniversary of The Moon Landing and the famous quote, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." This great, memorable event reminds me that every task the LoopBack team finishes will end up enhancing our project. From starting to build new features such as inclusion, to enriching the documentation, we believe that we are making LoopBack better by taking all these small steps!

We finished up 85 story points this month. See the July milestone for an overview of what we have worked on, and read on for more details.
