· 3 min read

From 11.1 to 11.14, 28 contributors submitted 114 commits for Apache APISIX. Thank you all for your contributions to Apache APISIX. It is your selfless contribution to make the Apache APISIX project better!

Introduction#

Apache APISIX has grown as a community from the first day of open source and has quickly become the most active open source API gateway project in the world. These achievements cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of our community partners.

"If you want to go fast, go alone.If you want to go far, go together." The Apache APISIX Community Weekly Report hopes to help community members better understand the weekly progress of the Apache APISIX community and and facilitate everyone to participate in the Apache APISIX community.

We have also compiled some issues suitable for newcomers to the community to participate in! If you are interested, don't miss it!

Good first issue#

Issue #5400#

Link: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/5400

Issue description: The HTTP logs for Layer 7 are stored in acccess.log, so how does the Layer 4 proxy stream route enable logging and customize the log path? Traditionally, OpenResty can be implemented.

Issue #5417#

Link: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/5417

Issue description:

Currently, Apache APISIX will generate an id while initializing if the user doesn't specify one, and it relies on the lua-resty-jit-uuid library but without an explicit seed.

uuid.seed() apisix_uid = uuid.generate_v4() log.notice("not found apisix uid, generate a new one: ", apisix_uid)

While the jit-uuid library creates the seed by the process id and the time in ngx_lua context.

        if ngx then            seed = ngx.time() + ngx.worker.pid()

However, in a containerized environment, the process id (the master process) might be the same, i.e. the No. 1 process, also, if users try to deploy Apache APISIX clusters on Kubernetes through the Deployment resource, the time might be the same for several Pods, since ngx.time doesn't have enough precisions (only at milliseconds level). so the generated apisix id might be duplicated, and if the id is critical, this may cause some fatal problems in the business scenarios.
