Version Compatibility
This page lists the versions of external dependencies that Conncentric is tested and supported against. It is the single source of truth for supported dependency versions: other pages link here rather than re-listing them.
Infrastructure Requirements
The versions below are the minimum supported versions; a value shown as X+ is the floor. Meeting a version requirement is necessary but not sufficient: see Validated platforms for the specific distributions and services we test.
| Component | Supported Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes | 1.30+ | Any CNCF-conformant distribution. See Validated platforms for what we test. |
| PostgreSQL | 15+ | Any PostgreSQL 15+ endpoint. See Validated platforms. |
| Helm | 4.1+ | Required for installation and upgrades. |
| kubectl | 1.32+ | For cluster management from the command line. |
Validated platforms
Conncentric is supported only on the platforms listed under Supported below. Other environments are not part of our validated set and are not supported by default. We will consider additional environments on request: contact Connamara to discuss a target before you commit to it, rather than assuming it works.
| Area | Supported | Not validated (contact us) |
|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes distribution | Amazon EKS. k3s for local development and evaluation only, not production. | Other managed Kubernetes such as GKE or AKS. |
| PostgreSQL | Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. | Other PostgreSQL 15+ services such as Aurora, Cloud SQL, or Azure Database. |
| Kafka broker | Apache Kafka 3.0+, Confluent Platform 7.0+, Redpanda 23.2 (newer expected to work). | Other Kafka-protocol brokers, including Amazon MSK and Azure Event Hubs. |
| Portal browser | Google Chrome (current stable). | Other browsers. |
| Identity provider (OIDC) | Microsoft Entra ID, AWS Cognito. | Other OIDC-compliant providers such as Okta, Auth0, or Google Workspace. |
For identity provider setup see Authentication; for protocol versions see Supported Protocols.
Protocol Plugin Compatibility
For supported protocol versions (FIX versions, Kafka brokers, authentication modes), see Supported Protocols.
Supported platform releases
Conncentric is supported on the current release. Fixes ship forward as new releases; older releases are not patched. You do not have to take every release, but a support request is diagnosed against a current version, so upgrading is the first step if your deployment is behind.
As a rule, minor and patch upgrades within a major version preserve backwards compatibility, so a newer supported release is normally a drop-in upgrade. This is the general policy, not a per-release guarantee: each release's notes are authoritative, and we aim to call out any configuration change, compatibility caveat, or out-of-band fix there. Changes that are not backwards compatible are reserved for a major version and documented in its migration notes. Read the notes for the release you are moving to before you upgrade.
