We are proud to release the 13th feature update of Actyx!
Since 2.0 we have continuously grown the feature set as well as the operational tooling (in particular in 2.10).
This update is significant because it introduces a well-rounded set of AQL features on the query
endpoint.
These features should allow you to compute many dashboard-type outputs purely inside Actyx, without needing to implement aggregations in Typescript using fishes.
We also included the ability to run your query against a fixed dataset for testing and development, as demonstrated in the new tutorial.
You can find all the details on this emerging query language in the reference.
Introducing tooling for migrating to Actyx 2.x
Do you want your production deployment to benefit from all amazing features introduced with Actyx 2.x and newer releases?
With the Actyx 2.3.0 release, we are excited to offer extensive migration tooling that will enable you to easily migrate to Actyx version 2.
If you want to find out more about how to migrate your production deployment, head over to the migration section of our how-to guides!
As always, we are keen on hearing your opinions and feedback. If you have any questions or run into problems during your migration, please don't hesitate to contact us on Discord or visit our Community Forum!
Query Events using the Node Manager
Have you ever wanted to quickly find out what events have been created, and what they contain? Or would you like to easily transform and copy a set of events?
With the new Query feature of Actyx Node Manager 2.5.0 you can now do so easily.

New Offset Diagnostics
Local-first software is magical in that it almost always works — at least locally. With Actyx this is possible because Actyx is partition tolerant, i.e. a network issue does not immediately take everything down.
This also means that twins and applications aren't always in sync. And sometimes it can get a little tricky understanding where nodes stand with regard to synchronizing with each other.
That is why we are now releasing Offset Diagnostics in the Actyx Node Manager.
Actyx Node Manager 2.4.0 introduces two new features to help you better understand what is happening:
- Find out which event streams a node has synchronized, and up to where.
- Easily see how event synchronization is progressing in a swarm of nodes.
Introducing Pond 3.0
With the release of Actyx V2, we are also shipping a new major version of the Pond: 3.0 is here.
The major features of this release are:
- Compatible with shiny new Actyx V2!
- Also compatible with ActyxOS V1
- Hugely improved performance in the case of many active Fish, independent of which Actyx version is used
In terms of API changes, we have introduced as little breaking changes as possible. This should make it straight-forward to migrate an existing app to Pond 3.0 and thus be able to run it on Actyx V2!
