The ECO made an upgrade to the engine of the CEPT portal this Monday 27 January 2025. This concludes a two year long project where we moved the portal from a monolith system to a microservice architecture. From a user perspective not much has changed, but the engine beneath is completely replaced with a much faster and more adaptable version. We will with this upgrade be able to respond to change requests and error corrections much faster. We are already planning the next extension to the portal, and we look forward to presenting it to the users soon.
