CodingFreaks V2 Updates
After months of development, the complete backend infrastructure has been migrated to v2.
This update brings significant security improvements, new features, and better performance across all services.
Enhanced Security Standards
Security is the foundation of v2. The new infrastructure was built with modern security practices from the ground up.
All microservice components now run in isolated containers/pods.
This ensures strict separation between services, reduces attack surfaces, enables rapid deployment of security patches and zero-downtime deployments.
Additional Security Measures
- Vulnerability scanning
- Enhanced logging and real-time monitoring with OTEL.
- Regular security audits
- PoLP (Principle of least privilege) across all services
- Secrets management through encrypted vaults and no database access for microservices.
- Network segmentation between services
- PHP Hardening
- Apache Hardening & Modsec
- Strict firewall rules with default-deny policies
- File integrity monitoring
- and more..
These measures represent a significant step forward in protecting both the platform and user data.
What's New in v2
Fresh Look & Feel
The interface and website has been redesigned for a cleaner, more intuitive experience.
Cookie Scanner
The Cookie Scanner now detects before and after consent violations if used in backend or with an API-Key making compliance audits more thorough and accurate.
Extensions for CMS
All extensions have been updated to v2.0. Client-side updates are required to ensure compatibility with the new infrastructure.
CMS Compatibility
- TYPO3 v14 support
- WordPress 6.9 support
Internal Refactoring
Microservice refactorings across the platform
Migration Complete
The legacy v1 infrastructure has been permanently retired. All services now run exclusively on v2.
Current system status is available on the Statuspage.
