Vault provides a secure datastore for sensitive data such a API credentials, username/passwords and encryption keys. Backed by AWS's KMS, Functions Vault encrypts the data provided before storing in read-only fashion PubNub's infrastructure and only decrypts at runtime when accessed through Functions code.
From within a Function you can now post events, create objects and owners for Mnubo data analytics. SmartObjects from mnubo provides an API and a UI for connected product manufacturers and service providers to have an instant (real-time) and comprehensive (360°) view of their connected assets.
We now have integration between PubNub Functions and Microsoft Power BI using the Power BI REST API. From there, you can bring to bear the full analytics and visualization capabilities of Power BI on that data, and enable visualizations on real-time dashboards.
We've increased the number of operations you can do within any Function to give you more flexibility within your code. This means you now have separate limits for external HTTP requests, requests to PubNub operations, access to the KV Store, and for chaining several functions together.
We know it was awkward when you went to get some coffee and had to login to the PubNub Administration Portal again when you got back, so we extended our session timeout. You can now develop code more easily in the Functions code editor without being logged out. We're also working on some upcoming changes to extend this time even further, while still maintaining our top security rating.
