Ocean Horizontal Scaling & Spring Framework 6 Upgrade - Considerations for API Integrations

This is to inform current and future integrators of two recent backend upgrades to our platform in case they are relevant to your integration:

Horizontal Scaling

CloudConnect now supports horizontal scaling, allowing multiple instances to run concurrently. This enables CloudConnect to handle higher concurrency and maintain better performance at scale.

It is important to be aware that each instance manages its own OAuth token lifecycle — requesting and reusing tokens independently. This means that:

  • Multiple tokens can be active at once across instances.
  • Tokens are reused as long as they remain valid, minimizing unnecessary refreshes and improving reliability under load.

Spring Framework 6 Upgrade

Ocean has upgraded to Spring Framework 6. This introduces improved compatibility with newer Java versions, enhanced observability, and long-term framework support.

Spring 6’s stricter routing rules mean that Ocean and CloudConnect no longer accept URLs with trailing slashes (e.g., /api/foo/ should be replaced with /api/foo instead).

Implementers are advised to confirm that their integration is capable of supporting multiple active tokens simultaneously and review any API calls, webhooks, or service configurations that include trailing slashes and update them to conform to the new routing format.

If you notice any unexpected authentication or routing behavior, please report it via ocean.tips/support, including your site number and examples.
