Death to queues and 8.0 update sneakpeak.
Added 2021-02-17 21:50:30 +0000 UTCHeya everyone, we've been busy at work for the new filter and filterblade migration and I wanted to give you guys a short update!
We're migrating filterblade from OVH to AWS and it's already pretty much done. The new architecture is much more modern, mostly function-based (FAAS/Lambda) and highly scalable.
We expect that there won't be any more need for queues and hope that the league releases will be super smooth now. (If not, we have much more room to scale up)
Tobnac has spearheaded the vast majority of the work for that and we already have a fully functioning and working test environment.
We expect it to be testable within less than a month and definitely to be live before the next league.
Meanwhile I've been working on the prototype for the 8.0 filter and the progress has been amazing. As you might've heard/read, I've designed a small programming language for optimized filter editing, that is splitting the filter into multiple files and you guys can't believe how much easier it is to work within that environment and how clean the need setup is ( https://imgur.com/hLRhIGu ).
In practice you can expect that one to go live for the next league as well. Some of it's core features are:
- completely rewritten/modernized architecture
- completely rewritten styles and new styles (some old ones might go obsolete)
- continue-based structure
- new features, such as better highlight of noteworthy item mods, corrupted items etc.
- structural preparations for new league and poe2
Thank you guys for your support!
PS: Ritual league was very fun, if you want to see what I was up to, check out my youtube.
