A big thank you to all who joined our November Round-up call. ![]()
If you missed the call, you can still catch the highlights by watching the call recording. Below is the summary of key discussions.
Agenda 1 (Community Story) - Empowering caregivers and health workers with digital tools to combat malnutrition in Turkana County.
Agenda 2- Product updates - CHT v5.0.0 Release - Major Release ![]()
The CHT community has been reviewing the total cost of ownership for CHT deployments, with focus on hosting costs. It has been observed that storage is the biggest cost driver for Medic self hosted instances on EKS. To address this challenge, a community squad has been working on decreasing the amount of disk space that CHT uses.
The CHT v5.0.0 introduces CouchDB Nouveau, enabling approximately over 30% storage savings for large instances. Instances with less data will see small savings.
An authenticated impact metric API has been added that aggregates data to support impact monitoring. The user devices API has been extended with additional fields giving Administrators a simple way to monitor device storage. This release has lots of other features, technical and performance improvements including faster synchronization which uses less CPU server, please read the release notes for full details. This 5.0 upgrade guide is now available and has all the details about the breaking changes.
