Morphium 6.3.7 and 6.3.8: Bugs We All Had

Last time it was about bugs nobody ever hit. Morphium 6.3.7 and 6.3.8 are the opposite: bugs we all had, for months, some for years. Found because we put PoppyDB onto a real message bus and looked properly - heap histograms, connection counters, logs. One Double per event that never goes away. 937,000 TCP connections in 61 hours for a client with nothing to do. A watchdog with 2,229 false alarms in a week. And a full-cluster restart that shows why a rolling restart is worthless as a test for restore paths.

Morphium 6.3.1 — and the Transparent Message Bus

We just released Morphium 6.3.1 - officially a bugfix release, in reality the harvest of 6.3.0's first two production weeks: server-side topic filters in the change stream, detection of mixed messaging implementations, and an in-memory driver that now behaves like mongod down to event ordering. And the occasion for the bigger story: why a message bus made of documents is transparent - with a peeker that reads along without consuming, and Morpheus as the cockpit for the running bus. Try that with Kafka 😉

Morphium 6.3.0 — What's New?

Morphium 6.3.0 — What's New?

The largest release in the 6.x line so far. Its centre of gravity is not the client this time — it is PoppyDB and the in-memory driver underneath it, both of which went from "good enough to run your tests against" to something you can actually operate.

Using a wire proxy to do failover tests

Failover testing with `kill -9` is manual labor and never runs in CI — yet from a driver's perspective, failover bugs are pure wire phenomena. So we moved the faults onto the wire: one TCP proxy per replica set node that can freeze, reset, or cleanly close connections, plus `hello` rewriting so the driver never sees the real addresses. The harness promptly found real bugs — including a read that spent 26 seconds hammering a dead primary.
