Welcome to Mia-Platform v13!
Compose your Platform
With our latest release, we empower you to "Compose your Platform", offering the freedom to craft it just the way you envision it. Whether you're forging new paths or refining existing strategies, Mia-Platform v13 is here to support you every step of the way, giving you the flexibility and control you need to find a solution that fits you. Let's take a closer look at all the new features included in Mia-Platform v13!
Platforge: Enhance Extensibility
In today's fast-paced tech landscape, adaptability is key. That's why Mia-Platform v13 takes extensibility to the next level, making it easier than ever to integrate third-party tools and custom functionalities into your platform.
We welcome Platforge, our brand new Extensibility toolkit, to the Mia-Platform eco-system!
The main benefits for the user can be summarized by the following:
- Extend development lifecycle to be aligned with the needs of each team (Extend supported runtimes, dev workflows, application management, etc.).
- Users that already use some specific tools can standardize and simplify their developer workflow, integrating them into Mia-Platform Console.
Let's go in deep with the new Features:
Extend Frontend of Mia-Platform Console with iFrames
Extend the Console as you like.
From now on, you can seamlessly integrate external web pages within Mia-Platform Console using iFrames.
This empowers Console Users to enrich their experience by effortlessly incorporating tools, dashboards, or external content in our IDP, streamlining development workflows and tailoring the product to suit the business.
This function is now only accessible via Application Programming Interface (API), so it is possible to use the Mia-Platform API portal to integrate the iFrame into different sections of Mia-Platform Console. In future releases, we aim to simplify the integration of iFrame by providing directly a UI.

Managing Custom Resources through the Console
You can now manage and configure custom objects that are not part of the standard Console supported resources using the classic user interface of the Console. This feature further expands the Console domain over user's entire workloads, enabling greater operability, governance, and control over systems.
To discover more, please refer to the documentation.
React to Console actions using Webhooks
The variety of Console events suitable for webhook configuration constantly increases, allowing you to react and build custom flows and logic each time the event occurs.
With the introduction of user management events and the introduction of the history of each webhook to facilitate monitoring and debugging, users can now use webhooks to extend Console functionality.
