📣 New in Bacalhau - Highlight

We have just released v0.3.18 🎉. This release includes the first-ever Bacalhau Python SDK, optimized network scalability, and many more. Whether you're running large, complex simulations or smaller, quick tasks, you'll notice a noticeable improvement in the performance of your jobs.

Let’s take a look at the major highlights:

  • Bacalhau Python SDK: The Bacalhau Python SDK offers client-side logic, and you can fully interact with Bacalhau with a nice, Pythonic interface. The SDK will take care of signing API requests with your Bacalhau key. More info and usage examples can be found here.

  • Improved network scalability and reliability: Bacalhau network now uses a custom-built libp2p protocol: We have deployed bprotocol, stabilizing new direct peer-to-peer scheduling implementation. It upgrades our scheduling to be point-to-point rather than broadcast on GossipSub for huge performance gains.

  • Node labels: You can now label your nodes when you create them and target jobs to specific nodes. This is useful for nodes that have a certain data source on them. More info on usage and examples can be found here.

  • Networking support: We have restricted network traffic to only HTTP(S) to prevent malicious users from using the network to DDoS websites they don’t like. You can now securely and without risking DDoS – build Bacalhau inside Bacalhau!
    How to define a list of HTTP domains for networking jobs that compute providers are willing to execute can be found here.

  • Users can now define memory limits on WASM jobs (PR)

  • Users can now define local directory storage drivers for on-prem jobs (PR)

We have a lot more exciting highlights coming up next month 🐸. You can get more details on what the team is working on in our project report
