- Improved AEE Performance & Scaling
- Drupal 9 Update
Below are some highlights of recent releases.
Lumen PoP Expansion
As part of Section’s partnership with Lumen, we continue to make more of Lumen’s expansive infrastructure network available across Section’s Composable Edge Cloud. New points of presence (PoPs) are being added weekly and now span across North America, South America, Europe, and APAC regions.
Improved AEE Performance & Scaling
We have improved the functioning of the Adaptive Edge Engine (AEE) by providing data feeds of PoP capacity (total and available) and workload capacity (required) and related control systems. This enables more effective scheduling decisions and PoP management when PoPs near capacity limits.
Drupal 9 Update
We have updated the Drupal Section Purger module to now support Drupal 9. This extension allows Section’s global, distributed caching layer to quickly respond to invalidation events from a Drupal instance in exactly the same way that Drupal’s internal cache or a local varnish cache running on the host machine does, ensuring that the content in Section’s global caching layer is always up to date.
