GraphQL (Beta)
  • You can now expose data stored in a linked MongoDB cluster through the GraphQL API. Stitch automatically generates GraphQL types based on collection schemas and enforces rules on every request.
Stitch CLI

December, 2019

Functions
  • Functions now have a maximum runtime of 90s, increased from 60s.

November, 2019

Document Schemas
  • Stitch can now sample existing documents in a collection to automatically generate a new schema for the collection.
  • You can now validate a sample of documents in a collection against the collection schema.

Custom Function Authentication Provider

October, 2019

User Management
  • You can now see a list of unconfirmed email/password users in the Stitch UI.

September, 2019

Query Filters

Email/Password Authentication
Services

August, 2019

Rules Usability
  • Changes to the Rules UX and Stitch Logs designed to make it simpler to create more performant rules and understand the impact of Rules to your requests.
  • Performance metrics and write/validation failures now available in Stitch Logs.
  • Warnings for overly permissive Rules in the Stitch UI.
  • Additional context.request information available in Functions/Rules.
  • Improved surfacing of errors when working with Stitch Rules.

  • Can Evaluate added to Incoming Webhooks.
Atlas Triggers
  • Improvements identified by user testing.

July, 2019

Stitch Static Hosting GA
Atlas Triggers
  • Integration of Stitch Triggers directly into the Atlas UI, making it easy for Atlas customers to write code which reacts to changes within their instance or create regularly running workloads without the overhead of creating a Stitch application.
Collection-level watch()
  • Extended the capabilities of watch() within the Stitch SDKs to enable watching a collection as a whole (or a filtered view of a collection via $match).
CLI Support for Programmatic API Keys
  • Added support for Atlas’ programmatic API keys within the Stitch CLI.
Code Deployment
  • Broad improvements to how code is written and deployed within Stitch, making it simpler and safer to write production code.
  • Allow users to draft/test changes made across their Stitch App via the UI before making a single, atomic deploy.
  • Enables Stitch to link applications to GitHub repositories with Automatic Deployment whenever there is a change in the corresponding repository.
Improving Stitch Functions
  • Extensions to Stitch Functions and Webhooks designed to make writing Stitch Function more intuitive and simplify API creation.
  • Support for digest authentication in Stitch’s HTTP Service.
  • Incoming webhooks can now accept multiple HTTP verbs.
  • Find/Replace enabled within Stitch text editors.
  • Expanded support for AES/RSA in Functions (crypto.util).
  • The region in which functions run now available via Logs.
Improving Stitch Authentication
  • Features targeted at Stitch’s authentication methods making it easier to get started, customize, and integrate Stitch authentication.
  • Ability to configure provider rotated keys for Custom authentication.
  • Metadata from JWT is now refreshed upon user login.
  • Enabled automatic confirmation of email/password users.
  • Reformatted user confirmation/password for email/password authentication.
Stitch Alerting
  • Stitch now sends email alerts to notify users when critical events take place within their application. To start, we now provide alerts when a Stitch Trigger fails or when a user’s URL for Hosting is confirmed.

April, 2019

Automatic Sync Versioning
  • A major improvement to Stitch Mobile Sync - automatic versioning streamlines how applications listen to changes and simplifies the code developers need to write for their applications to listen to changes.
Stitch Secrets
  • Stitch Secrets provide a new method to configure sensitive details (such as API Keys or service credentials) within Stitch making the process simpler and more secure.

March, 2019

Read Preference
HTTP Utility
  • A new HTTP utility for use within Stitch Functions, allowing outgoing HTTP calls without setting up an HTTP service.
Scheduled Triggers
  • A long-awaited improvement allowing developers to schedule a Trigger to fire on a regular cadence using CRON syntax.

February, 2019

General Improvements
  • Added a Last Modified column in Stitch.
  • Made defined namespaces available in Rules/Triggers.
  • Defined alternative aud field for Custom Auth.
  • Raised the maximum documents returned to 50,000.
Mobile Sync Performance Improvements
  • Addressed bottlenecks when initially syncing large numbers of documents to enable higher numbers of documents to be synced and improve overall performance.
findOneAnd<action> Support
  • Support for findOneAnd[Update, Replace, Delete] within Stitch Functions and the JS SDK. Addditional SDK support is planned.
Multi-user Support in Stitch SDKs
  • Introduced controls to allow multiple users to log into, switch profiles, and sync data within the same mobile or web application.
System Stitch Functions (expanded MDB access)
  • Stitch Functions can now be marked to run as a “System User” enabling these functions to bypass Stitch Rules. When a function is run as a System User it will have access to all CRUD/Aggregation commands. This includes commands disallowed when Rules are in place, such as $lookup, $facet, $text, and $geoNear.

January, 2019

iOS Sync in Public Beta
  • Stitch’s Swift SDK now allows applications to seamlessly sync data, operate offline, and intelligently resolve conflicts. More details here.
watch() Support
  • Stitch’s JS, Android, and iOS SDKs now support watch() - making it simple for users to build applications that update in realtime.
Stitch Usability
  • In Function Editor, Cmd (OSX) or Ctrl + Enter runs debug console.
  • Improvements to Webhooks UX.
  • Redirect to previous page when log-in is required.
  • Improvements to Username/Password UX.
  • Delete Anonymous Users after 90 Days.

December, 2018

Static Hosting (Beta)
  • Stitch now allows you to host static assets alongside the rest of your Stitch application, making it simple to build an end-to-end website using only Stitch and Atlas. More details here.
Multi-Region Stitch Applications (Part 2)
  • You now have a choice of deploying your Stitch application to a single AWS region (US East, US West 2, EU West, or APAC Southeast) or having it distributed across all available regions. Any existing application can change its region via a request to Cloud Support. More details here.
Unordered Database Triggers
  • A major point of feedback from customers around Database Triggers is that they were slow on executing for batch jobs (where Trigger execution order didn’t matter). For this, we’ve released the option to turn off ordering for Database Triggers, allowing a significant improvement in processing time when order is not required.

Note

There is still a 50/s Trigger execution limit.


November, 2018

Multi-Region Stitch Applications (Part 1)
  • Stitch now supports 4 AWS regions (US East, US West, Dublin, and Sydney) and automatically distributes applications across them - ensuring that requests execute optimally for end users. More details here.
