2020-12-16 00:35:41 UTC - Bilal: Thanks I'll look into init time parameters. Currently I'm just using default parameters.
I wonder if I could use init time parameters as a global way to share a specific secret across multiple actions. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608078941410700?thread_ts=1608074550.407500&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 00:40:49 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: You could if the actions are in a package and you attach the parameter to the package it will be shared with all actions. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608079249411600?thread_ts=1608074550.407500&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 01:17:50 UTC - Bilal: Yea that could work, I use that when I have a set of related actions and use `wskdeploy` My eventual goal, and I expect I'll have to do something entirely custom, is to manage tokens for some internal on-prem services for our users. For example,if user "Bob" wants to write an action and access an internal service A. Instead of Bob worrying about credentials and a service account to internal service A, I would just hand Bob's action a token. Or capture/manage traffic from Bob's action by attaching a token to it. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608081470411800?thread_ts=1608074550.407500&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 16:49:14 UTC - Brendan Doyle: We should look into upgrading to couchdb3 (it’s essentially backwards compatible with couchdb2 and can be upgraded through rolling restart). We just upgraded our custom deployment and the performance for the db is significantly better. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608137354414400 ---- 2020-12-16 16:51:13 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: that’s good to know! what’s involved in upgrading? https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608137473414800?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 17:58:54 UTC - Joshua Dunham: I've upgraded to CouchDB3 for dev deployment and just swapped out the container. For prod I have a couchdb3 cluster in another namespace and no action other than pointing OW to it was necessary. yay : Rodric Rabbah https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608141534415900 ---- 2020-12-16 18:53:31 UTC - Brendan Doyle: Honestly for us it was essentially just bumping the version. There’s a couple minor things during the upgrade we faced where old compaction files got corrupted so we had to delete those. But preparing for release we didn’t have to do anything. The highlights are the new smoosh compaction daemon. Compaction performs significantly better. Cut our disk usage in almost half. A dedicated view daemon that indexes and compacts the view. No more only building the view on query. And just overall performance is dramatically improved. Can handle much more load overall. View queries are supposedly like 50-100% faster. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608144811420500?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 18:53:58 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: that sounds great https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608144838420700?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 18:54:00 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: PR? https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608144840420900?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 18:54:03 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: :pray: https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608144843421100?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 18:54:22 UTC - Brendan Doyle: <https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/whatsnew/3.0.html> https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608144862421400?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 18:55:52 UTC - Brendan Doyle: goes through the deprecation and removals there. I don't think there is anything affected in openwhisk. Couchdb3 is meant to be a transition to couchdb4 which is going to reimplement the underlying db to foundationDB and that sounds like there will be api deprecations that would affect openwhisk like _show and _list https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608144952421600?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 18:57:07 UTC - Brendan Doyle: We're going to let it bake a little while longer over the holidays, and then if we're still comfortable and haven't faced any horrible problems I can make a pr in January https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608145027421800?thread_ts=1608137473.414800&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-12-16 20:54:37 UTC - Michele Sciabarra: Hello all if you want to play developing an OpenWhisk actions controlling “StarFighter” (or FaasFighter) you may check the latest incarnation of Nimbots: <http://bit.ly/faaswars|bit.ly/faaswars> https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1608152077423900 ----
