Alginte 0.14.0 Beta

Released 2026-10-27.

Alginte is in beta (0.x): configuration keys, the topology export format, and APIs may change between releases; breaking changes are called out in release notes with migration guidance. 0.14.0 has none.

0.14.0 is the release for asking a service about each record: a model's decision, a score, a provider's status, added to the record under a field you name. Each item links to its documentation.

New

• Enrich from a service: a node that asks a service about each record and adds its answer to the record. It never filters or routes; a filter or a split after it acts on the answer.
• The preview never calls the service: it adds a simulated answer, in the service's own shape, through the same answer mapping the deployed node runs. Change it to walk each branch downstream.
• Services are the console's, declared under alginte.services.<name>.*: a design names a service and never carries its address or its credential, which is read from an environment variable when a call is made.
• Throughput warnings with one-click fixes: the node's drawer shows how many calls can be in flight at once and where the number comes from, with a button that inserts a repartition before the node, and warns when max.poll.records times the timeout is above half of max.poll.interval.ms or when the stream has fewer threads than the repartition has partitions.
• The Submit step checks the design on arrival, before you press Submit: what Submit would refuse, and the throughput warnings with their fixes. A warning never blocks the deploy.
• The answer mapping knows answer: completions offer its fields from the node's simulated answer, and a mapping that reaches through a missing field is flagged while you type.
• Try it in the playground: its console declares a stand-in service, severity, that answers like a classifier, so a design with an Enrich node deploys and runs there without a service of your own.
• The stream tools know the Enrich node: evaluate_expression previews an Enrich step on its simulated answer, and validate_topology and deploy_topology return the throughput warnings and each Enrich node's calls in flight.

Fixes

• Opening a share group on Kafka 4.2 no longer says the group was not found: it says the group is a share group, which the detail page does not show yet.
• Expression completions offer only what the hardened evaluation context can resolve, and one field form on every serde.

For operators

• Kafka clients and Kafka Streams 4.2.2. A stream's per-operator end-to-end latency now counts the time a record spends in a slow step (KAFKA-14597), so an Enrich node's calls show in it.
• Confluent serdes 8.2.4, with Apache HttpClient 5.6.4 (CVE-2026-71290), and Jackson 2.21.6 (CVE-2026-54515).
