The 2019.1 version of InterSystems IRIS Data Platform is now Generally Available!Kits and container images are available via the WRC download site The build number for these releases is 2019.1.0.510.0.InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2019.1 provides the following new capabilities:Performance and scalability. The release features new performance improvements for parallel queries and data ingestion resulting in more than 50 percent performance improvement, and expanded sharding support with simpler rebalancing across nodes.Expanded cloud support. InterSystems IRIS is now available in the marketplaces of all three major public cloud platforms, with standard licensing as well as a new free Community Edition for development and an Express Edition for small production applications. The release also supports asynchronous mirroring and availability zones to enable disaster recovery in the cloud.Integration. The latest release further expands the product’s schema, transformation, routing, and testing capabilities, supporting integration and service aggregation as a key enabler of digital transformation initiatives.Enhanced language support. 2019.1 adds to the existing comprehensive development capabilities with functional and performance enhancements to the Java, Python, and C# development languages.These are detailed in the documentation for InterSystems IRIS. You can also watch a short video introducing the InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 release.Server platform support for traditional installations has been updated, as have the base OS layer and storage drivers for IRIS containers. This release also adds support for Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows Server 2019 operating systems. You can see read details in the Supported Platforms document.With 2019.1, InterSystems IRIS now officially supports self-service BI tools using ODBC connections, specifically Tableau and PowerBI. Jeff, thank you for the great news!When could we expect IRIS 2019 Release Community Edition available on cloud marketplaces? The cloud marketplace listings are being updated as we speak; the time required is dependent on the cloud platform's process but all listings should be using this release by the end of this week.

Discussion
Evgeny Shvarov · Nov 24, 2020
Hi Developers!
Want to raise security discussion today!
Let's discuss how InterSystems security for applications works. In general, the concept is clear: we have Resources (what to protect), Roles which combine a set of privileges and accesses to Resources and Users which can have this or that Role.
But there is also a concept of Application which also could have a Role.
So you either provide a Role for a User or for an Application.
What do you use in production? What is your strategy and why? Pros, cons?
The applications you mentioned, it's not exactly applications, it's just kind of entrypoint to the application.
Security in Caché and in IRIS now, was not so good in my opinion, for many reasons.
An application developer, if he would like to use role-based security is too limited to use the Security model from InterSystems.
And no matter how many different applications customers would like to use on their own Instance of IRIS, security will be global.
Issues with mirroring, with ECP, any instance of IRIS use own tables, and have to be synchronized in some ways. Such big clusters should have the ability to use the same security settings on any instance, out of the box.
Application, real, not virtual, should have the ability to re-use Security and store it close to Application's data. Security settings synchronization for mirroring and ECP is a different problem though a serious one.
But there are strong recommendations from very experienced specialists to follow the Application-based security model. I want to have a discussion around - what are the key reasons for it? I think both should be used.
If an application needs some privilege for itself (=for all users), e.g. for reading database with code, then this should be role for the application.
If different users within same application have different permissions then this should (can) be handled via user roles.
