In the milestone 7.1.0-M13 you will find the following main fixes & features:

• Add support for partitioned message streams: messages used to transfer data from the runtime bundle to query and audit service can be partitioned. There will be as many instances of the consumer as the number of partitions. Each instance will consume data from a single partition. In Helm deployment, partitioning can be enabled by providing the following extra values (partitionCount defines how many partitions will be used and the Helm deployment will create that many replicas of query service using a StatefulSet rather than a Deployment):

global:
  messaging:
    # global.messaging.partitioned -- enables partitioned messaging in combination with messaging.enabled=true && messaging.role=producer|consumer
    partitioned: true
    # global.messaging.partitionCount -- configures number of partitioned consumers 
    partitionCount: 2

• Add Activiti Cloud application support for Kafka binder: in addition to Rabbit MQ binder (that remains the default one), the example docker images generated by activiti-cloud-application are also embedding Kafka binder. In order to use it instead of Rabbit MQ binder, pass the following values during Helm deployment:

global:
  messaging:
    broker: kafka
kafka:
  enabled: true
rabbitmq:
  enabled: false
