Hello,

I'm trying to connect a Python backend application to an InterSystems IRIS Community Edition instance running in a Docker container on an AWS EC2 instance. I'm facing persistent connection issues and an SSL Error despite the Superserver apparently having SSL disabled. I'm hoping for some insight into what might be causing this contradictory behavior.

My Setup:

Faced with the enormous and evergrowing amounts of data being generated in the world today, software architects need to pay special attention to the scalability of their solutions. They must also design systems that can, when needed, handle many thousands of concurrent users. It’s not easy, but designing for massive scalability is an absolute necessity.

A workload averaging 1000 1-kilobyte queries per second is compared with another involving 10 1-terabyte queries per hour

Software architects have several options for designing scalable systems. They can scale vertically by using bigger machines with dozens of cores. They can use data distribution (replication) techniques to scale horizontally for increasing numbers of users. And they can scale data volume horizontally through the use of a data partitioning strategy. In practice, software architects will employ several of these techniques, trading off hardware costs, code complexity, and ease of deployment to suit their particular needs.

This article will discuss how InterSystems IRIS Data Platform supports vertical scalability and horizontal scalability of both user and data volumes. It will outline several options for distributing and partitioning data and/or user volume, giving scenarios in which each option would be particularly useful. Finally, this paper will talk about how InterSystems IRIS helps simplify the configuration and provisioning of distributed systems.

Hi Community!

We’re pleased to announce that several Early Access Programs (EAPs) are now open for registration. These programs provide developers with the opportunity to explore upcoming features and technologies from InterSystems before their general release.

By joining an EAP, you can:

  • Evaluate and test new functionality
  • Provide direct feedback to product teams
  • Help shape the future direction of InterSystems platforms

If you're interested in contributing to the evolution of our tools and getting early insight into what's coming next, we encourage you to review the following available programs and sign up:

Hey Community,

Last week, the InterSystems team held our monthly Developer Meetup in a new venue for the first time ever! In the AWS Boston office location in the Seaport, over 71 attendees showed up to chat, network, and listen to talks from two amazing speakers. The event was a huge success; we had a packed house, tons of engagement and questions, and attendees lining up to chat with our speakers afterwards!

I have been struggling sometime with trying to take a FHIR Bundle Response, extract the "entry.resourceType", extract the MRN and Name from the Patient FHIR Response...

Going through learning.intersystems.com, it suggested that I try using fhirPathAPI to parse and search my response for certain values, however I am not sure my syntax is correct. Using the AI code, it suggested to set my tree = "Bundle.entry.resource.resourceType"

⏯️ Care Compass – InterSystems IRIS powered RAG AI assistant for Care Managers

Care Compass is a prototype AI assistant that helps caseworkers prioritize clients by analyzing clinical and social data. Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and large language models, it generates narrative risk summaries, calculates dynamic risk scores, and recommends next steps. The goal is to reduce preventable ER visits and support early, informed interventions.

I have set up an ODBC driver for InterSystems and would like to set up a linked server. This all works except I cannot see the columns details. If I access the database from excel I can get the columns and types of the various tables

Any help or instructions would be appreciated
