Release Summary
This minor release includes general changes that have little impact on college users. The following are the main changes:
Conductor Upgrade
Exposed internal communication endpoints throughCCCApply application delivery to colleges via the college adaptor will now be handled by a new conductor instance.
To support this new system, a new API Gateway has also been implemented using Tyk.
The new Tyk
API gateway is implemented alongside the service router; this allows testing in parallel.
Changes were made to use Postgres in addition to ES/EC. The new system will be on Postgres to run in parallel.
Updated the bi-directional fraud reporting API.
Updated KeyCloak.
The new conductor instance makes use of a Postgres database, while the existing conductor instance continues to use ElasticSearch/ElastiCache (ES/EC) for persistence.
To support this new system, for each college adaptor worker, several new clients have been created in Keycloak.
Updated the SuperGlue Fraud Reporting API.
Superglue Fraud Reporting has been integrated with the CCC Apply SPAM Filter. With this change fraud identified through the SPAM Filter or fraud reports submitted to Enabling Services will be made available through the Superglue Fraud Reporting workflow to alert colleges of possible fraudulent applications.
Fraud reports submitted through the Superglue Fraud API will mark that application as confirmed fraud in the CCC Apply database
