GrowERP Update

Hello ,

We’ve just released to staging one of the most important architectural upgrades in GrowERP to date. This update is not just about performance—it fundamentally changes how the system is structured, updated, and maintained.

Here’s what’s new and why it matters.

"Virtual Inclusion": A Lighter, Smarter Backend

Previously, the entire Moqui backend engine—thousands of files—was embedded directly inside the GrowERP codebase. This made the system heavier and harder to keep aligned with upstream updates and security patches.

We’ve now moved to a Virtual Inclusion architecture using Git submodules.
  • Instant upstream updates: Sync with Moqui patches immediately for improved security and performance.
  • Smaller footprint: Faster cloning and deployment by tracking only ERP-specific components.
  • Separation of concerns: Custom business logic remains isolated from the core framework.

Next-Generation Performance with Moqui 4.0

GrowERP now connects seamlessly to Moqui 4.0, bringing major performance and infrastructure improvements.
Java 21
Improved performance and scalability through Virtual Threads, enabling more concurrent requests without increasing memory usage.

Upgraded Infrastructure
PostgreSQL 18.1, MySQL 9.5, and OpenSearch 3.4 replace older components.

Note: Database upgrades require migration and reindexing.

Modern Core
Now running on Jakarta EE 11 and Jetty 12.1, improving security and real-time capabilities.

For Developers: Breaking Changes

  • Entity API: Use .resolveEntityName() instead of .getEntityName()
  • Sequencing: Replace getNextSeqId() with sequencedIdPrimary()
  • Logging: Use ec.logger.* instead of logger.*
