{% info_block infoBox %} RabbitMQ 3.13 is the last version before 4.1. Make sure you are running version 3.13 before upgrading to 4.1. {% endinfo_block %}
-
Ensure you are on RabbitMQ 3.13: Verify that your current RabbitMQ version is 3.13, which is the last version before 4.1.
-
Stop Jenkins: Before proceeding with the migration, stop all Jenkins jobs and the Jenkins service to prevent any message processing during the upgrade:
-
Apply changes: Apply the necessary configuration changes to update the RabbitMQ service to the new version.
-
Restart Jenkins: Once the migration is complete and verified, restart the Jenkins service.
Swagger UI allows anyone — be it your development team or your end consumers — to visualize and interact with the API’s resources without having any of the implementation logic in place. It’s automatically generated from your OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger) Specification, with the visual documentation making it easy for back end implementation and client-side consumption.
See Swagger UI documentation for more details.
In Docker SDK, Swagger UI is provided as a service by default.
Spryker provides the basic functionality to generate OpenApi schema specification for REST API endpoints. This document provides an overview of REST API endpoints. For each endpoint, you will find the URL, REST request parameters as well as the appropriate request and response data formats.

docker/sdk upMailHog is a mail catcher service that is used with Spryker in Docker for Demo and Development environments. Developers use this email testing tool to catch and show emails locally without an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server.
With the MailHog service, developers can:
- configure an application to use MailHog for SMTP delivery;
- view messages in the web UI or retrieve them via JSON API.
:::(Info) () By default the following applies:

You can pass the server details only with the docker/sdk up command.

docker/sdk boot deploy.*.yml &&\
docker/sdk upIt is not obligatory to pass all the details as environment variables or define all the details in the deploy file. You can pass the details in any combination.
New Relic is a tool used to track the performance of services and the environment to quickly find and fix issues.
The solution consists of a client and a server. The client is used to collect data about applications in an environment and send it to the server for further analysis and presentation. The server is used to aggregate, analyse, and present the data.
- Access to New Relic with an APM account.
- Local: New Relic license key.
- The New Relic module.
Spryker provides its own New Relic licenses for use with its PaaS environments. A New Relic license key is only required if you wish to set up your own local monitoring.
While most environments come with New Relic already available, you may need to add the module to your project. Add the module to your composer.json:
composer require spryker-eco/new-relic- Adjust
deploy.*.ymlin theimage:section:
image:
tag: spryker/php:7.4 # the image tag that has been previously used in `image`

...
- newrelic- Push and deploy the changes using one of the following guides:
- Submit an infrastructure change request via the Support Portal. We will confirm that a New Relic APM account is available for you and ensure that the correct application naming convention is set up to cascade to the appropriate APM.
Once New Relic is enabled, in the New Relic dashboard, you may see either company-staging-newrelic-app or YVES-DE (docker.dev). New Relic displays these APM names by the application name setup in the configuration files.
{% info_block infoBox %}
If you update the name of an application, contact support to update the changes in your APM.
{% endinfo_block %}
- In
deploy.*.yml, adjust thedockersection:
docker:
newrelic:
license: {new_relic_license}
distributed tracing:
enabled: true- In the
deploy.*.yml, adjust theimagesection:
image:

php:
...
enabled-extensions:

- newrelic- Bootstrap the docker setup and rebuild the application:
docker/sdk boot deploy.*.yml &&\
docker/sdk upBy default, in the New Relic dashboard, the APM is displayed as company-staging-newrelic-app. To improve visibility, you may want to configure each application as a separate APM. For example, YVES-DE (docker.dev).
To do it, adjust the Monitoring service in src/Pyz/Service/Monitoring/MonitoringDependencyProvider.php:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
/**
* This file is part of the Spryker Commerce OS.
* For full license information, please view the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
namespace Pyz\Service\Monitoring;
use Spryker\Service\Monitoring\MonitoringDependencyProvider as SprykerMonitoringDependencyProvider;
use SprykerEco\Service\NewRelic\Plugin\NewRelicMonitoringExtensionPlugin;
class MonitoringDependencyProvider extends SprykerMonitoringDependencyProvider
{
/**
* @return \Spryker\Service\MonitoringExtension\Dependency\Plugin\MonitoringExtensionPluginInterface[]
*/
protected function getMonitoringExtensions(): array
{
return [
new NewRelicMonitoringExtensionPlugin(),
];
}
}{% info_block infoBox %}
-
Some builds have the Monitoring service built into the Yves application. If
src/Pyz/Service/Monitoring/MonitoringDependencyProvider.phpdoes not exist, you may want to checksrc/Pyz/Yves/Monitoring/. -
If the class is missing from the Monitoring service, create it.
{% endinfo_block %}
With new \SprykerEco\Service\NewRelic\Plugin\NewRelicMonitoringExtensionPlugin() being returned with the getMonitoringExtensions() function, the Monitoring class includes New Relic. Now applications are displayed as separate APMs, and an appropriate endpoint or class is displayed with each transaction.

docker/sdk upPhantomJS is provided as a webdriver service by default, but you can switch to ChromeDriver as described below.
ChromeDriver is a thin wrapper on WebDriver and Chromium headless browser. It is used for automating web page interaction, JavaScript execution, and other testing-related activities. It provides full-control API to make end-to-end testing flexible and comfortable.
To enable Chromedriver, adjust deploy.*.yml as follows:

docker/sdk upCustom services allow you to integrate any Docker-based service into your Spryker environment. This is useful for adding third-party services like AWS LocalStack, MinIO, Kafka, etc.
:::(Warning) (Local Development Only) Important: Custom services are only available in local development environments. They will NOT be automatically propagated or available in Cloud environments (staging, production). Custom services are designed for local development, testing, and mocking purposes only. :::
Custom services support two primary use cases:
- Pre-built Docker images - Use existing images from Docker Hub or private registries
- Custom Dockerfile builds - Build services from your own Dockerfiles with project-specific configurations
