Medplum v4.0.0 is coming soon! Many of the new features in this release have already been rolled out incrementally, making the v4.0.0 designation more symbolic of the semantic versioning. We prioritize stability and backwards compatibility and work hard to minimize unnecessary changes. However, sometimes changes are necessary to keep the platform up-to-date and secure. This document outlines the key updates in v4.0.0, including important information for self-hosting deployments and TypeScript SDK users.

Medplum is built on Postgres. Until recently, our hosted Medplum service was using an Amazon Web Services (AWS) RDS Aurora Postgres cluster running version 12.16. Since v12 is rather outdated and nearing the end of its standard support window on RDS, it was time to plan our upgrade to the newest version available on RDS, v16.4. Various methods to upgrade to a new major version on various places across the downtime vs level-of-effort continuum; we decided to upgrade our database with no downtime. This is how we did it.

Develo has built a full-featured EHR and customer relationship management (CRM) for pediatrics, encompassing core scheduling, clinical, and billing workflows along with family engagement capabilities.

NASA's TRISH team (Translational Research Institute for Space Health) recently issued an RFP for a healthcare tech platform designed for monitoring spaceflight participant health metrics during space missions. TRISH is a virtual consortium focused on applied research to ensure astronaut health during space exploration.

Today, we received a thoughtful email from an engineering leader who installed Medplum for the first time:

This guide is for customers who are self-hosting Medplum, and this post assumes that your installation was complete and successful. We will refer to your base installation as $domainName, and this refers to the domain on which the Medplum app is running, for example on hosted Medplum the domain is app.medplum.com.

Data privacy, locality, governance and compliance are huge issues in healthcare, and that's why we at Medplum support self-hosting. For those running on AWS, we use Aurora RDS, which supports auto-scaling. A common question we get is - how big is my database going to be?
