Archived Plans
You can find our completed plans from previous quarters, along with requests from the community. We are updating this page at the end of each quarter.
2024 Plans and Community Input
Item 1: Change proposals
We put out five proposals for changing RIPE Atlas behaviour and discussed them with the community. More information can be found on RIPE Labs.
Status: Completed in Q2 2024.
Item 2: UI renewal
We are working on restructuring and renewing pages of the user interface to make them more user-friendly.
Status: Continues in 2025.
Item 3: Data backend renewal
We worked on renewing the big data backend and replaced it with a new technical solution in July 2024. This change, for the most part, is invisible to the consumers of RIPE Atlas results.
Completed in Q3 2024.
Item 4: Infrastructure renewal
We are working on containerising the infrastructure components and along the way modernising the OS, libraries and frameworks we depend on.
The component related to the communication with probes ("controllers") was finished in September 2024, and the current work is focused on API/UI, after which we’ll move on to the remaining components.
Status: Continues in 2025.
Item 5: Implementing earlier proposals
We are working on implementing two earlier proposals: limitations on “probe farming” and supporting “measurement aggregators”.
Status: Continues in 2025.
2023 Plans and Community Input
Item 1: Renew data streaming
We modernised our result streaming infrastructure and added WebSockets support.
