Apr 1, 2025

April 2025: Delivered core improvements to CoreData API in edgex-go to enhance data access for large datasets and improve performance of event queries. Implemented readingOffsetParam in API definitions with -1 to skip total counts, clarified boolean defaults in CoreMetadata, and added optimization to skip total counts for AllEvents, EventsByDeviceName, and EventsByTimeRange by using offset -1. These changes reduce expensive count queries, lowering latency and resource usage in client integrations and dashboards. Commits: 285c4605f0d8a1204ede5df9efc844b172296372 (docs: Update CoreData API doc (#5127)) and 580d767449178ed974b9cdc199fef803bb3ff70c (feat: Query events without total count (#5135)).

March 2025

February 2025 (2025-02) performance summary for edgexfoundry/edgex-go: Delivered two major features focused on data lifecycle management and capacity governance, accompanied by targeted refactors and configuration-driven enhancements to support scalable operations. Implemented an event-based retention policy with time-based and count-based purging, refactoring the retention logic, configuration, application paths, and database interactions to implement these policies. Added configurable limits for devices and resources via configuration.yaml and enforced capacity checks across application flows to prevent overuse during device provisioning, profile updates, or resource additions. Updated the default event retention duration to improve out-of-the-box behavior and reduce unnecessary data growth. These changes collectively improve reliability, storage efficiency, and operational safety in deployed environments, while enabling safer, value-driven configuration.
