Compatibility

API stability

HTTP API stability

Ditto uses schema-versioning at the HTTP API level in order to being able to evolve breaking APIs.

HTTP API version 2 is the currently only supported API version.

Java API stability

The Java APIs will for the 2.x release will be kept backwards compatible to 2.x, so only non-breaking additions to the APIs will be done. This is enforced by a Maven tooling.

Internationalization

No efforts towards i18n are done in this release.

Target Environments

Ditto delivers docker images with a pre-bundled Java runtime (powered by OpenJ9). Ditto supports deployment to Docker Swarm and Kubernetes out of the box.
