Env Variables & Testing Improvements in 1.2.0!

Conduktor 1.2.0 brings the ability to override platform configurations through environment variables. Additionally, there is new functionality in Testing that supports loading data from S3, and a new node for comparing records across multiple Kafka topics.

Load CSVs from S3 Compatible Storage

Previously it was only possible to load a file from a location that was local to your testing Agent. This new option for loading data from S3 into a test scenario brings much more flexibility. Specifically, it unlocks a more appropriate method for loading external files in automated tests that run in your CI/CD pipeline.

Features ✨

• Platform
  • Platform configurations can be overridden from environment variables (see configuration documentation)
• Testing
  • Simplify source selection in checks. Rather than remember the full jq prefix, we now provide a helper for the different data attributes you might want to test (message key, value, headers etc.)
  • Add support of S3 in LoadCSV task
  • Add a comparison data node that allows you to compare data across records consumed from 2 or more distinct topics.
