# Deis Roadmap

The Deis Roadmap is a community document created as part of the open [Planning Process][].
Each roadmap item describes a high-level capability or grouping of features that are deemed
important to the future of Deis.

Given the project's rapid [Release Schedule](release-schedule.md), roadmap items are designed to provide a sense of
direction over many releases.

## Deis v2

Much of the Deis team's efforts are focused on Deis v2, which will see the Deis
platform running on Kubernetes.

For details on Deis v2, see the [Deis v2 Design Document][]
and issues with the [v2][] tag.

## Etcd Hardening

We have recently seen various issues with etcd performance, which can cause
issues with Deis. We will focus on re-evaluating our implementation and use
of etcd in Deis, with a focus on performance and reliability.

This feature is tracked as GitHub issue [#4404][].

## Permissions and Teams

Deis deployments in larger organizations require more fine-grained control
over users and permissions. Implementation of teams and improved user permissions
are tracked in separate issues:

 - [ ]  [Permissions][]
 - [ ]  [Teams][]

## Monitoring & Telemetry

Deis installations today use custom solutions for monitoring, alerting and operational visibility.
Deis will standardize the monitoring interfaces and provide open source agent(s) that can be used to ship telemetry to arbitrary endpoints.

 - [ ] Host Telemetry (cpu, memory, network, disk)
 - [ ] Container Telemetry (cpu, memory, network, disk)
 - [ ] Platform Telemetry (control plane, data plane)
 - [ ] Controller Telemetry (app created, build created, containers scaled)

This feature is tracked as GitHub issue [#3699][].

## Internal Service Discovery

To provide a better container networking experience, Deis must provide
internal service discovery for components to coordinate.

This feature is tracked as GitHub issue [#3072][].

## Update Service

Deis must support 100% automated, zero-downtime updates of the control plane.
Deis clusters should be attached to an alpha, beta or stable channel and rely on an automatic update mechanism.
To accomplish this, Deis plans to use the `Google Omaha Protocol`_ as implemented by `CoreUpdate`_.

 - [x]  [Update client/agent][]
 - [ ]  Update server
 - [ ]  CI Integration

This feature is tracked as GitHub issue [#2106][].

## Deis Push

End-users should be able to push Docker-based applications into Deis from their local machine using `deis push user/app`.
This works around a number of authentication issues with private registries and `deis pull`.

 - [ ]  [Docker Registry v2][]
 - [ ]  [Deis Push][]

## TTY Broker

Today Deis cannot provide bi-directional streams needed for log tailing and interactive batch processes.
By having the Controller drive a TTY Broker component, Deis can securely open WebSockets
through the routing mesh.

 - [ ]  [TTY Broker component][]
 - [ ]  [Interactive Deis Run][deis-run] (`deis run bash`)
 - [ ]  [Log Tailing][] (`deis logs -f`)

## Service Broker

In Deis, connections to [Backing Services][] are meant to be explicit and modeled as a series of environment variables.
Deis believes the Cloud Foundry [Service Broker API][] is the best embodiment of this today.

 - [ ]  Deis Addons CLI (deis addons)
 - [ ]  PostgreSQL Service Broker
 - [ ]  Redis Service Broker

This feature is tracked as GitHub issue [#231][].
