6 Commits • 2 Features
Apr 1, 2026In April 2026, delivered a major framework modernization for adap/flower and reinforced security practices, focusing on stable, scalable state management and token-based authentication. Key work included migrating state management from Flower File System to LinkState, removing SimulationIo, integrating FAB storage/usage with LinkState (with tests and DB support) and making FAB data mandatory; plus a comprehensive security revamp that enforces token-based authentication by requiring token arguments and deprecating the token field across all request messages. Also removed no-token fallbacks and deprecated token fields in server and client apps, and tightened inputs with FAB as a required field in PullAppInputs. These changes reduce technical debt, improve security, and enable more predictable data flows for production workloads.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Major architectural refactor of the Flower framework (adap/flower) to a modular design with centralized compatibility logic and improved startup/transport paths; introduced an ObjectStore data layer for SHA-256 keyed objects with an in-memory backend and supporting factory and hash-validation utilities. Stability improvements include removing grpc-bidi support and in-process Client execution from the SuperNode main loop, reducing runtime complexity and surface area. These changes reduce maintenance burden, improve reliability, and prepare the codebase for plugin-based compatibility and easier testing.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Focused on stability, compatibility, and developer productivity for adap/flower. Delivered two major features: (1) gRPC Dependency Upgrade and Protobuf Regeneration to ensure compatibility with latest gRPC ecosystem; (2) Flower SuperNode CLI simplification by removing the deprecated app argument and enabling automatic ClientApp discovery from SuperLink. Major bugs fixed/risks addressed: resolved potential runtime and build issues from outdated dependencies and CLI changes, reducing maintenance burden and breaking-change surface. Overall impact: improved stability, easier onboarding for new integrations, and smoother downstream workflows with recent protobuf/gRPC updates. Technologies and skills demonstrated: Python packaging (pyproject.toml), protobuf codegen, gRPC ecosystem, CLI UX simplification, breaking-change management.
