25 February 2026

COMUNITY PLATFORM
- UPDATE VERSION 24.3

COMUNITY PLATFORM

Platform Operations

API GATEWAY

New Features

  • Introduced Azure API Gateway integration as a first-class platform capability, providing a governed entry point for API publishing, routing, and policy enforcement.

  • Added support for persistent storage within the observability stack to retain critical telemetry data safely across restarts and upgrades.

Enhancements

  • Implemented a Platform Integration Handler pattern to centralize how inbound/outbound integrations are authenticated, validated, routed, and ob served—improving consistency across services.
  • Added an Observability Filter for API Gateway traffic so key requests automatically emit standardized telemetry (logs/traces/metrics), making trouble shooting and performance analysis significantly faster

OBSERVABILITY

New Features

  • Added support for persistent storage within the observability stack to retain critical telemetry data safely across restarts and upgrades.
  • Enabled new-environment observability baseline so fresh deployments can be instrumented with a consistent “minimum viable observability” setup from day one.

Enhancements

  • Implemented Exemplar-based Trace ID extraction, allowing metric-to-trace linking so architects/operators can move from “a metric spike” to the exact trace data with far less effort.
  • Introduced Azure Container Apps support for the observability architecture to improve portability and operational efficiency (scaling, lifecycle management, and infrastructure simplification).
  • Implemented Tempo as part of the tracing architecture to improve trace storage/querying at scale and reduce the operational burden of trace management.
  • Added IaC-based deployment for the observability stack, improving repeatability and reducing drift between environments.
  • Resized key Observability VMs to better align compute with workload demand — improving platform stability under load and reducing avoidable cost/over-provisioning.

OPERATIONS

Enhancements

  • Implemented Web Push notifications for the platform experience (Polymer UI), enabling operational and user events to reach users in-browser without requiring polling.

Bug Fixes

  • Improved the reliability of Web Push notification delivery through additional validation/testing coverage, reducing intermittent delivery failures.

PLATFORM CORE

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected the Logic App provisioning flow so new Logic App deployments reliably return a callback URL immediately after creation (removing manual retrieval steps and reducing setup friction).
  • Added a robust mechanism to retrieve an Azure Logic App callback URL when required after deployment — improving operational continuity during redeployments or environment restores.

Platform Developer Toolkit

CENTRALIZED CONFIGURATION (CONFIG HUB)

New Features

  • Added Config Hub tooling for Azure Logic Apps, enabling operators to manage Logic App configuration through a consistent, platform-governed configuration surface

AZURE LOGIC APPS

New Features

  • Introduced end-to-end Logic Apps management in the Platform Toolkit, including core screens for viewing, configuring, and administering Logic Apps within a project context

  • Added deployment screens and workflows for Logic Apps so teams can manage deployment-related settings and actions directly from the Toolkit

  • Implemented Azure resource deployment support for Logic Apps from within the Toolkit, reducing the gap between configuration and real infrastructure provisioning.
  • Added Toolkit role support for Azure resource administration to ensure only appropriately privileged users can manage Logic Apps and related Azure resources

Enhancements

  • Implemented the underlying Logic Apps data model and entity controllers, enabling consistent CRUD behaviour and predictable API interactions across toolkit and platform services
  • Added ToolkitCore API integration for Logic Apps to ensure UI actions map cleanly onto platform service capabilities (including repeatable behaviour across environments).
  • Introduced tabbed settings UI for Logic Apps to reduce configuration complexity and make operational settings easier to navigate.
  • Enhanced the Toolkit application navigation (including sidebar improvements) to make Logic Apps management easier to discover and faster to use.
  • Added code snippet configuration UI support to streamline how teams manage reusable Logic App snippets/patterns within the platform’s operational tooling.
  • Implemented Logic App delete in Core Deployment to ensure de-provisioning is complete and consistent (reducing orphaned resources and mismatched platform state)..

AZURE FUNCTION APPS

Enhancements

  • Added a Toolkit deployment screen for Azure Function Apps, improving operator visibility and making deployment actions more structured and repeatable

  • Added a mechanism for users to compare configuration changes before applying them to Function Apps—reducing accidental misconfiguration across environments.

DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

Enhancements

  • Improved Events/Alerts UI behaviour so operators can interpret and act on operational signals more efficiently (better clarity in event presentation and operational navigation)

ONBOARDING & DEVELOPER ENABLEMENT

Additional Changes

  • Updated Toolkit onboarding guidance to reduce friction for new teams adopting the Toolkit.
  • Expanded onboarding coverage for Toolkit + Communications Service setup so platform capabilities can be enabled in a more predictable sequence.
  • Added onboarding notes for Platform setup and local development environment setup, improving developer ramp-up and reducing “first environment” setup issues
