0.19.2

Patch Changes

  • 629cbd194a: Use coreServices.rootConfig instead of coreService.config

  • 443afcf7f5: To improve performance, GerritUrlReader.readTree() now uses Gitiles to fetch an archive instead of cloning the repository. If gitilesBaseUrl is not configured, readTree still uses Git to clone the repository.

    Added stripFirstDirectory option to ReadTreeResponseFactory.fromTarArchive(), allowing to disable stripping first directory for tar archives.

0.19.0

Minor Changes

  • c7f848bcea: Support authentication with a service principal or managed identity for Azure DevOps

    Azure DevOps recently released support, in public preview, for authenticating with a service principal or managed identity instead of a personal access token (PAT): https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/introducing-service-principal-and-managed-identity-support-on-azure-devops/. With this change the Azure integration now supports service principals and managed identities for Azure AD backed Azure DevOps organizations. Service principal and managed identity authentication is not supported on Azure DevOps Server (on-premises) organizations.

Patch Changes

  • 4ef91ab467: Updated the backend database connection configuration schema to set the password visibility to secret

  • 52d5998176: Changed the default backend CacheClient to an in-memory cache when not explicitly configured.

    Explicit configuration of an in-memory cache can be removed from app-config.yaml, as this is now the default:

    backend:
    -  cache:
    -    store: memory
    
  • 5f2c38c70f: Fix SNYK-JS-FASTXMLPARSER-5668858 (fast-xml-parser) by upgrading aws-sdk to at least the current latest version.

  • eeb3f801fd: HostDiscovery now strips trailing slashes in the backend.baseUrl config.

  • 9f47a74363: Fixed typo in HostDiscovery's JSDoc

  • 810c6de516: Remove unused dev dependency aws-sdk-mock.

0.18.4

Patch Changes

  • a1002df2dc: Support commit hashes at GithubUrlReader.readTree/search additionally to branch names.

    Additionally, this will reduce the number of API calls from 2 to 1 for retrieving the "repo details" for all cases besides when the default branch has to be resolved and used (e.g., repo URL without any branch or commit hash).

  • 5c7ce58582: Allow an additionalConfig to be provided to loadBackendConfig that fetches config values during runtime.

  • 2b15cb4aa0: The dependency isomorphic-git is now on version 1.23.0

  • 34167270b3: Renamed the loadBackendConfig option additionalConfig to additionalConfigs as an array, and ensured that they get passed on properly.

    This is technically breaking, but the original addition hasn't been released in mainline yet so we are taking this step now as a patch change.

  • 420164593c: Improve GitlabUrlReader to only load requested sub-path

0.18.2

Patch Changes

  • 5febb216fe: BREAKING: The CacheClient interface must now also implement the withOptions method. The .get() method has also received a type parameter that helps ensure that undefined in the event of a cache miss is handled.

    Added a cacheToPluginCacheManager helper that converts a CacheService into a legacy PluginCacheManager instance.

  • 5febb216fe: Updated to match the new CacheService interface.

  • e716946103: Updated usage of the lifecycle service.

  • d31d8e00b3: Updated to work with the new type: 'pem' with createHttpServer from @backstage/backend-app-api

  • 0ff03319be: Updated usage of createBackendPlugin.

  • f60cca9da1: The DatabaseManager.forPlugin method now accepts additional service dependencies. There is no need to update existing code to pass these dependencies.

0.18.0

Minor Changes

  • 5e2cebe9a3: BREAKING: Removed deprecated read method from the UrlReader interface. All implementations should use the readUrl method instead.

    Migrated UrlReader and related types to backend/backend-plugin-api, types remain re-exported from backend-common for now.

Patch Changes

  • 0e63aab311: Internal refactor of the logger and configuration loading implementations.
  • 31e2309c8c: Added legacyPlugin and the lower level makeLegacyPlugin wrappers that convert legacy plugins to the new backend system. This will be used to ease the future migration to the new backend system, but we discourage use of it for now.
  • 8e06f3cf00: Added loggerToWinstonLogger, which was moved from @backstage/backend-plugin-api.
  • 2b1554cebf: Replaced dependencies on the Logger type from winston with LoggerService from @backstage/backend-plugin-api. This is not a breaking change as the LoggerService is a subset of the Logger interface.
  • 5437fe488f: Migrated types related to TokenManagerService, CacheService and DatabaseService into backend-plugin-api.
  • 6f02d23b01: Moved PluginEndpointDiscovery type from backend-common to backend-plugin-api.
  • d592ec4f51: Updated the logger created by createRootLogger to make it possible to override the default service log label.
  • b99c030f1b: Refactor to rely on @backstage/backend-app-api for the implementation of createServiceBuilder.

Minor Changes

  • de8a975911: Changed to use native AbortController and AbortSignal from Node.js, instead of the one from node-abort-controller. This is possible now that the minimum supported Node.js version of the project is 16.

    Note that their interfaces are very slightly different, but typically not in a way that matters to consumers. If you see any typescript errors as a direct result from this, they are compatible with each other in the ways that we interact with them, and should be possible to type-cast across without ill effects.

Patch Changes

  • fc8a5f797b: Improve scm/git wrapper around isomorphic-git library :

    • Add checkout function,
    • Add optional remoteRef parameter in the push function.
  • 5e4dc173f7: Added a second validation to the dir() method of ZIP archive responses returned from readTree() that ensures that extracted files do not fall outside the target directory.

  • 1732a18a7a: Exported redactLogLine function to be able to use it in custom loggers and renamed it to redactWinstonLogLine.

  • 3b7930b3e5: Add support for Bearer Authorization header / token-based auth at Git commands.

  • cfa078e255: The ZipArchiveResponse now correctly handles corrupt ZIP archives.

    Before this change, certain corrupt ZIP archives either cause the inflater to throw (as expected), or will hang the parser indefinitely.

    By switching out the zip parsing library, we now write to a temporary directory, and load from disk which should ensure that the parsing of the .zip files are done correctly because streaming of zip paths is technically impossible without being able to parse the headers at the end of the file.

  • 770d3f92c4: The config prop ensureExists now applies to schema creation when pluginDivisionMode is set to schema. This means schemas will no longer accidentally be automatically created when ensureExists is set to false.

  • 6673babab9: Gerrit integration: Added optional cloneUrl string to config.

  • 75bf9e1da9: Split BitbucketUrlReader into BitbucketCloudUrlReader and BitbucketServerUrlReader. Backwards compatible.

  • 28b0e4ddef: Update types to match the new version of @keyv/redis

  • 5fcbd86960: DEPRECATION: Server-to-server authentication tokens issued from a TokenManager (specifically, ServerTokenManager) now has an expiry time set, for one hour in the future from when issued. This improves security. The ability to pass in and validate tokens that either have a missing exp claim, or an exp claim that expired in the past, is now deprecated. Trying to do so will lead to logged warnings, and in a future release will instead lead to errors.

    It was always the case that users of this interface were expected to call its getToken() method for every outgoing call and never hold on to any given token for reuse. But this now has become even more important advice to heed, and you should verify that you do not hold on to and reuse tokens such as these in your own code.

For production deployments, a secret must still be manually configured as described in the backend-to-backend auth tutorial.

    After the change, the static fromConfig method on the ServerTokenManager requires a logger.

Patch Changes

  • bab752e2b3: Change default port of backend from 7000 to 7007.

    This is due to the AirPlay Receiver process occupying port 7000 and preventing local Backstage instances on MacOS to start.

    You can change the port back to 7000 or any other value by providing an app-config.yaml with the following values:

    backend:
      listen: 0.0.0.0:7123
      baseUrl: http://localhost:7123

  • 01f74aa878: Add AbortSignal support to UrlReader

  • a8732a1200: Make sure that server builder start() propagates errors (such as failing to bind to the required port) properly and doesn't resolve the promise prematurely.

    After this change, the backend logger will be able to actually capture the error as it happens:

          const actualLogger = (logger || getRootLogger()).child({

          });
          return expressWinston.logger({ ...
    

0.8.6

Patch Changes

  • 5f6f2fd96: Support a ensureExists config option to skip ensuring a configured database exists. This allows deployment scenarios where limited permissions are given for provisioned databases without privileges to create new databases. If set to false, the database connection will not be validated prior to use which means the backend will not attempt to create the database if it doesn't exist. You can configure this in your app-config.yaml:

    backend:
      database:
        ensureExists: false
    

    This defaults to true if unspecified. You can also configure this per plugin connection and will override the base option.

  • ad93bb035: Document the default behavior of statusCheck option in createStatusCheckRouter.

  • Updated dependencies

    • @backstage/config-loader@0.6.5

0.8.5

Patch Changes

  • 09d3eb684: Added a readUrl method to the UrlReader interface that allows for complex response objects and is intended to replace the read method. This new method is currently optional to implement which allows for a soft migration to readUrl instead of read in the future.

    The main use case for readUrl returning an object instead of solely a read buffer is to allow for additional metadata such as ETag, which is a requirement for more efficient catalog processing.

    The GithubUrlReader and GitlabUrlReader readers fully implement readUrl. The other existing readers implement the new method but do not propagate or return ETags.

    While the readUrl method is not yet required, it will be in the future, and we already log deprecation warnings when custom UrlReader implementations that do not implement readUrl are used. We therefore recommend that any existing custom implementations are migrated to implement readUrl.

    The old read and the new readUrl methods can easily be implemented using one another, but we recommend moving the chunk of the implementation to the new readUrl method as read is being removed, for example this:

    class CustomUrlReader implements UrlReader {
      read(url: string): Promise<Buffer> {
        const res = await fetch(url);
    
        if (!res.ok) {
          // error handling ...
        }
    
        return Buffer.from(await res.text());
      }
    }
    

    Can be migrated to something like this:

    class CustomUrlReader implements UrlReader {
      read(url: string): Promise<Buffer> {
        const res = await this.readUrl(url);
        return res.buffer();
      }
    
      async readUrl(
        url: string,
        _options?: ReadUrlOptions,
      ): Promise<ReadUrlResponse> {
        const res = await fetch(url);
    
        if (!res.ok) {
          // error handling ...
        }
    
        const buffer = Buffer.from(await res.text());
        return { buffer: async () => buffer };
      }
    }
    

    While there is no usage of the ETag capability yet in the main Backstage packages, you can already add it to your custom implementations. To do so, refer to the documentation of the readUrl method and surrounding types, and the existing implementation in packages/backend-common/src/reading/GithubUrlReader.ts.

Patch Changes

  • e5cdf0560: Provide a more clear error message when database connection fails.

  • 772dbdb51: Deprecates SingleConnectionDatabaseManager and provides an API compatible database connection manager, DatabaseManager, which allows developers to configure database connections on a per plugin basis.

    The backend.database config path allows you to set prefix to use an alternate prefix for automatically generated database names, the default is backstage_plugin_. Use backend.database.plugin.<pluginId> to set plugin specific database connection configuration, e.g.

    backend:
      database:
        client: 'pg',
        prefix: 'custom_prefix_'
        connection:
          host: 'localhost'
          user: 'foo'
          password: 'bar'
        plugin:
          catalog:
            connection:
              database: 'database_name_overriden'
          scaffolder:
            client: 'sqlite3'
            connection: ':memory:'
    

    Migrate existing backstage installations by swapping out the database manager in the packages/backend/src/index.ts file as shown below:

    import {
    -  SingleConnectionDatabaseManager,
    +  DatabaseManager,
    } from '@backstage/backend-common';
    
    // ...
    
    function makeCreateEnv(config: Config) {
      // ...
    -  const databaseManager = SingleConnectionDatabaseManager.fromConfig(config);
    +  const databaseManager = DatabaseManager.fromConfig(config);
      // ...
    }

    backend:
      csp:
    -    upgrade-insecure-requests: false
    

    To keep the existing behavior of upgrade-insecure-requests Content-Security-Policy being enabled, add the key with an empty array as the value in your app-config.yaml:

    backend:
    +  csp:
    +    upgrade-insecure-requests: []

0.8.0

Minor Changes

  • 22fd8ce2a: Introducing: a standard API for App Integrators to configure cache stores and Plugin Developers to interact with them.

    Two cache stores are currently supported.

    • memory, which is a very simple in-memory key/value store, intended for local development.
    • memcache, which can be used to connect to a memcache host.

    Configuring and working with cache stores is very similar to the process for database connections.

    backend:
      cache:
        store: memcache
        connection: user:pass@cache.example.com:11211
    
    import { CacheManager } from '@backstage/backend-common';
    
    // Instantiating a cache client for a plugin.
    const cacheManager = CacheManager.fromConfig(config);
    const somePluginCache = cacheManager.forPlugin('somePlugin');
    const cacheClient = somePluginCache.getClient();
    
    // Using the cache client:
    const cachedValue = await cacheClient.get('someKey');
    if (cachedValue) {
      return cachedValue;
    } else {
      const someValue = await someExpensiveProcess();
      await cacheClient.set('someKey', someValue);
    }
    await cacheClient.delete('someKey');
    

    Cache clients deal with TTLs in milliseconds. A TTL can be provided as a defaultTtl when getting a client, or may be passed when setting specific objects. If no TTL is provided, data will be persisted indefinitely.

    // Getting a client with a default TTL
    const cacheClient = somePluginCache.getClient({
      defaultTtl: 3600000,
    });
    
    // Setting a TTL on a per-object basis.
    cacheClient.set('someKey', data, { ttl: 3600000 });
    

    Configuring a cache store is optional. Even when no cache store is configured, the cache manager will dutifully pass plugins a manager that resolves a cache client that does not actually write or read any data.

0.7.0

Minor Changes

  • e0bfd3d44: Refactor the runDockerContainer(…) function to an interface-based api. This gives the option to replace the docker runtime in the future.

    Packages and plugins that previously used the dockerode as argument should be migrated to use the new ContainerRunner interface instead.

      import {
    -   runDockerContainer,
    +   ContainerRunner,
        PluginEndpointDiscovery,
      } from '@backstage/backend-common';
    - import Docker from 'dockerode';
    
      type RouterOptions = {
        // ...
    -   dockerClient: Docker,
    +   containerRunner: ContainerRunner;
      };
    
      export async function createRouter({
        // ...
    -   dockerClient,
    +   containerRunner,
      }: RouterOptions): Promise<express.Router> {
        // ...
    
    +   await containerRunner.runContainer({
    -   await runDockerContainer({
          image: 'docker',
          // ...
    -     dockerClient,
        });
    
        // ...
      }
    

    To keep the dockerode based runtime, use the DockerContainerRunner implementation:

    + import {
    +   ContainerRunner,
    +   DockerContainerRunner
    + } from '@backstage/backend-common';
    - import { runDockerContainer } from '@backstage/backend-common';
    
    + const containerRunner: ContainerRunner = new DockerContainerRunner({dockerClient});
    + await containerRunner.runContainer({
    - await runDockerContainer({
        image: 'docker',
        // ...
    -   dockerClient,
      });

Minor Changes

  • 8686eb38c: Encode thrown errors in the backend as a JSON payload. This is technically a breaking change, since the response format even of errors are part of the contract. If you relied on the response being text, you will now have some extra JSON "noise" in it. It should still be readable by end users though.

    Before:

    NotFoundError: No entity named 'tara.macgovern2' found, with kind 'user' in namespace 'default'
        at eval (webpack-internal:///../../plugins/catalog-backend/src/service/router.ts:117:17)

    }
    
  • 8686eb38c: Removed the custom error types (e.g. NotFoundError). Those are now instead in the new @backstage/errors package. This is a breaking change, and you will have to update your imports if you were using these types.

This is useful when you want to make some changes without re-implementing the entire logger and calling setRootLogger or logger.configure. For example you can add additional defaultMeta tags to each log entry. The following changes are included:

    • Added createRootLogger which accepts winston LoggerOptions. These options allow overriding the default keys.

    Example Usage:

    // Create the logger
    const logger = createRootLogger({
      defaultMeta: { appName: 'backstage', appEnv: 'prod' },
    });
    
    // Add a custom logger transport
    logger.add(new MyCustomTransport());
    
    const config = await loadBackendConfig({
      argv: process.argv,
      logger: getRootLogger(), // already set to new logger instance
    });

Patch Changes

  • 26a3a6cf0: Honor the branch ref in the url when cloning.

    This fixes a bug in the scaffolder prepare stage where a non-default branch was specified in the scaffolder URL but the default branch was cloned. For example, even though the other branch is specified in this example, the master branch was actually cloned:

    catalog:
      locations:
        - type: url
          target: https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/other/plugins/scaffolder-backend/sample-templates/docs-template/template.yaml
    

    This also fixes a 404 in the prepare stage for GitLab URLs.

Minor Changes

  • 5345a1f98: Remove fallback option from UrlReaders.create and UrlReaders.default, as well as the default fallback reader.

    To be able to read data from endpoints outside of the configured integrations, you now need to explicitly allow it by adding an entry in the backend.reading.allow list. For example:

    backend:
      baseUrl: ...
      reading:
        allow:
          - host: example.com
          - host: '*.examples.org'
    

    Apart from adding the above configuration, most projects should not need to take any action to migrate existing code. If you do happen to have your own fallback reader configured, this needs to be replaced with a reader factory that selects a specific set of URLs to work with. If you where wrapping the existing fallback reader, the new one that handles the allow list is created using FetchUrlReader.factory.

  • 09a370426: Remove support for HTTPS certificate generation parameters. Use backend.https = true instead.

Patch Changes

  • 0b135e7e0: Add support for GitHub Apps authentication for backend plugins.

    GithubCredentialsProvider requests and caches GitHub credentials based on a repository or organization url.

    The GithubCredentialsProvider class should be considered stateful since tokens will be cached internally. Consecutive calls to get credentials will return the same token, tokens older than 50 minutes will be considered expired and reissued. GithubCredentialsProvider will default to the configured access token if no GitHub Apps are configured.

    More information on how to create and configure a GitHub App to use with backstage can be found in the documentation.

    Usage:

    const credentialsProvider = new GithubCredentialsProvider(config);
    const { token, headers } = await credentialsProvider.getCredentials({
      url: 'https://github.com/',
    });
    

    Updates GithubUrlReader to use the GithubCredentialsProvider.

  • 294a70cab: 1. URL Reader's readTree method now returns an etag in the response along with the blob. The etag is an identifier of the blob and will only change if the blob is modified on the target. Usually it is set to the latest commit SHA on the target.

    readTree also takes an optional etag in its options and throws a NotModifiedError if the etag matches with the etag of the resource.

    So, the etag can be used in building a cache when working with URL Reader.

    An example -

    const response = await reader.readTree(
      'https://github.com/backstage/backstage',
    );
    
    const etag = response.etag;
    
    // Will throw a new NotModifiedError (exported from @backstage/backstage-common)
    await reader.readTree('https://github.com/backstage/backstage', {
      etag,
    });
    
    1. URL Reader's readTree method can now detect the default branch. So, url:https://github.com/org/repo/tree/master can be replaced with url:https://github.com/org/repo in places like backstage.io/techdocs-ref.

Minor Changes

  • 12bbd748c: Removes the Prometheus integration from backend-common.

    Rational behind this change is to keep the metrics integration of Backstage generic. Instead of directly relying on Prometheus, Backstage will expose metrics in a generic way. Integrators can then export the metrics in their desired format. For example using Prometheus.

    To keep the existing behavior, you need to integrate Prometheus in your backend:

    First, add a dependency on express-prom-bundle and prom-client to your backend.

    // packages/backend/package.json
      "dependencies": {
    +   "express-prom-bundle": "^6.1.0",
    +   "prom-client": "^12.0.0",
    

    Then, add a handler for metrics and a simple instrumentation for the endpoints.

    // packages/backend/src/metrics.ts
    import { useHotCleanup } from '@backstage/backend-common';
    import { RequestHandler } from 'express';
    import promBundle from 'express-prom-bundle';
    import prom from 'prom-client';
    import * as url from 'url';
    
    const rootRegEx = new RegExp('^/([^/]*)/.*');
    const apiRegEx = new RegExp('^/api/([^/]*)/.*');
    
    export function normalizePath(req: any): string {
      const path = url.parse(req.originalUrl || req.url).pathname || '/';
    
      // Capture /api/ and the plugin name
      if (apiRegEx.test(path)) {
        return path.replace(apiRegEx, '/api/$1');
      }
    
      // Only the first path segment at root level
      return path.replace(rootRegEx, '/$1');
    }
    
    /**
     * Adds a /metrics endpoint, register default runtime metrics and instrument the router.
     */
    export function metricsHandler(): RequestHandler {
      // We can only initialize the metrics once and have to clean them up between hot reloads
      useHotCleanup(module, () => prom.register.clear());
    
      return promBundle({
        includeMethod: true,
        includePath: true,
        // Using includePath alone is problematic, as it will include path labels with high
        // cardinality (e.g. path params). Instead we would have to template them. However, this
        // is difficult, as every backend plugin might use different routes. Instead we only take
        // the first directory of the path, to have at least an idea how each plugin performs:
        normalizePath,
        promClient: { collectDefaultMetrics: {} },
      });
    }
    

    Last, extend your router configuration with the metricsHandler:

    +import { metricsHandler } from './metrics';
    
    ...
    
      const service = createServiceBuilder(module)
        .loadConfig(config)
        .addRouter('', await healthcheck(healthcheckEnv))
    +   .addRouter('', metricsHandler())
        .addRouter('/api', apiRouter);
    

    Your Prometheus metrics will be available at the /metrics endpoint.

0.3.0

Minor Changes

  • 1722cb53c: Added support for loading and validating configuration schemas, as well as declaring config visibility through schemas.

    The new loadConfigSchema function exported by @backstage/config-loader allows for the collection and merging of configuration schemas from all nearby dependencies of the project.

    A configuration schema is declared using the https://backstage.io/schema/config-v1 JSON Schema meta schema, which is based on draft07. The only difference to the draft07 schema is the custom visibility keyword, which is used to indicate whether the given config value should be visible in the frontend or not. The possible values are frontend, backend, and secret, where backend is the default. A visibility of secret has the same scope at runtime, but it will be treated with more care in certain contexts, and defining both frontend and secret for the same value in two different schemas will result in an error during schema merging.

    Packages that wish to contribute configuration schema should declare it in a root "configSchema" field in package.json. The field can either contain an inlined JSON schema, or a relative path to a schema file. Schema files can be in either .json or .d.ts format.

    TypeScript configuration schema files should export a single Config type, for example:

    export interface Config {
      app: {
        /**
         * Frontend root URL
         * @visibility frontend
         */
        baseUrl: string;
      };
    }

Minor Changes

  • 5249594c5: Add service discovery interface and implement for single host deployments

    Fixes #1847, #2596

    Went with an interface similar to the frontend DiscoveryApi, since it's dead simple but still provides a lot of flexibility in the implementation.

    Also ended up with two different methods, one for internal endpoint discovery and one for external. The two use-cases are explained a bit more in the docs, but basically it's service-to-service vs callback URLs.

    This did get me thinking about uniqueness and that we're heading towards a global namespace for backend plugin IDs. That's probably fine, but if we're happy with that we should leverage it a bit more to simplify the backend setup. For example we'd have each plugin provide its own ID and not manually mount on paths in the backend.

    Draft until we're happy with the implementation, then I can add more docs and changelog entry. Also didn't go on a thorough hunt for places where discovery can be used, but I don't think there are many since it's been pretty awkward to do service-to-service communication.

  • 56e4eb589: Make CSP configurable to fix app-backend served app not being able to fetch

    See discussion here on discord

  • e37c0a005: Use localhost to fall back to IPv4 if IPv6 isn't available

  • f00ca3cb8: Auto-create plugin databases

    Relates to #1598.

    This creates databases for plugins before handing off control to plugins.

    The list of plugins currently need to be hard-coded depending on the installed plugins. A later PR will properly refactor the code to provide a factory pattern where plugins specify what they need, and Knex instances will be provided based on the input.

  • 6579769df: Add the ability to import components from Bitbucket Server to the service catalog

  • 8c2b76e45: BREAKING CHANGE

    The existing loading of additional config files like app-config.development.yaml using APP_ENV or NODE_ENV has been removed. Instead, the CLI and backend process now accept one or more --config flags to load config files.

    Without passing any flags, app-config.yaml and, if it exists, app-config.local.yaml will be loaded. If passing any --config <path> flags, only those files will be loaded, NOT the default app-config.yaml one.

    The old behaviour of for example APP_ENV=development can be replicated using the following flags:

    --config ../../app-config.yaml --config ../../app-config.development.yaml
    
  • 8afce088a: Use APP_ENV before NODE_ENV for determining what config to load

  • 7bbeb049f: Change loadBackendConfig to return the config directly

Patch Changes

  • 440a17b39: Added new UrlReader interface for reading opaque data from URLs with different providers.

    This new URL reading system is intended as a replacement for the various integrations towards external systems in the catalog, scaffolder, and techdocs. It is configured via a new top-level config section called 'integrations'.

    Along with the UrlReader interface is a new UrlReaders class, which exposes static factory methods for instantiating readers that can read from many different integrations simultaneously.
