This is one of those behind the scenes improvements that you do not know happen but we still like to tell people about. All media that is uploaded to your community (images, videos, any sort of files) is now automatically replicated to a write-only backup within 5 minutes of upload. This means that backups of your media are basically continuous now. This part is not new but as a review.... For databases, we have two levels of backups: daily and weekly. Our daily snapshots are for catastrophic recovery and are extremely robust as they are replicated internally. The weekly backups are what I call "convenience backups" which might sound strange but let me explain. …

Our June release includes enhancements to our various statistics and reporting features included within the community.

Furthermore, statistics enable the monitoring of the platform's growth and user retention, which are essential for maintaining a vibrant and active community. In our June release, we have made some enhancements to those features that will allow you to more quickly monitor those trends. Saved Charts In Invision Community 4.3, we introduced th…

I know many of you are very curious how our cloud services work and how we manage things when we service thousands of Invision Community-powered sites on our platform. I am writing this quick post because I just got an alert from our monitoring systems and signed on to see what was happening. We use AWS WAF with both managed rules and our own, custom rule sets. With those both combined, we are able to filter a lot of malicious traffic. Sometimes people do attempt a direct attack on one of the communities we host. That is what is going on today. As I am typing this, our WAF setup is blocking 10 million requests per minute on our network. Yet, even with that …

We are currently in the beginning stages of developing a Courses and Lessons application within Invision Community. This will only be available on our cloud services as a value addition. We receive regular requests for Learning Management System (LMS) capabilities in Invision Community and the Courses app will start us down that path. The Courses app is not going to try to be a full LMS. Not trying to run a university here 🙂 But we do think there is value in offering basic LMS capabilities within a community context. Some features we are already doing: Ability to create Courses with multiple Modules Modules can have multiple content items that …
