Below are some of the highlights from the Solace Developer Community in November: 

Event Portal 2.0 Lifecycle Management Features GA 

In early November, Solace announced the general availability of PubSub+ Event Portal 2.0 lifecycle management capabilities such as role-based access control, version control, multi-environment support, event API product management, and more. Event Portal 2.0 is available to all users with Event Portal access and can switch between versions with a toggle. Read the announcement.   

Distributed Tracing is now GA in PubSub+ Event Broker 10.2.0 

Also in November, Solace announced that distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry is now generally available in Solace PubSub+ Event Broker version 10.2.0. This means that anyone can add observability to their event brokers and event mesh. What’s more – you can even test it out using the free demo-mode in PubSub+ Software and Appliances (coming soon to Cloud). Go to the Community to get more info on this new capability and check out this distributed tracing demo from our VP of Engineering. 

Beta version of PubSub+ Connector for IBM MQ 

Solace released a beta version of the new PubSub+ Connector for IBM MQ in November. This connector enables bridging of PubSub+ events with MQ Queue Managers and supports a 2-way flow of data with PubSub+ -> MQ or MQ -> PubSub+. You can have up to 10 of these “workflows” in each connector instance. Find more details in this community post and how you can access the beta version.
