We’re excited to announce the 0.7 release milestone for the Ed-Fi Data Management Service (DMS).This release focuses on multi-tenancy foundations, operational cost optimizations, and improved performance for scalable deployments.

Key Updates​

  1. Database Segmentation and Multi-Tenancy: DMS now supports database segmentation—one web API instance can serve multiple databases, improving scalability, isolation, and flexibility for large-scale deployments. Building on this foundation, both DMS and the DMS Configuration Service have been updated to support multi-tenant deployments.

  2. Built-in Identity Provider (optional): The DMS Configuration Service* can act as a built‑in Identity Provider using OpenIddict, enabling self‑contained authorization. Keycloak remains fully supported as an external OAuth/OIDC Identity Provider for organizations that prefer or require it.

  3. Removes OpenSearch/Elasticsearch: This release removes the OpenSearch/Elasticsearch backends. The team validated that PostgreSQL alone can meet current read/write needs while reducing operational cost and complexity—especially in multi‑tenant scenarios. This change also addresses architectural issues around limit/offset and totalCount, and changes Kafka streaming from required to optional.

  4. Performance Tuning: Targeted optimizations based on performance test results have been implemented, with more improvements planned for upcoming releases.

note

* DMS Configuration Service is a separate component designed to manage claimsets, authorization metadata, and configuration data for DMS deployments.
