Embedded components

Embedded components are third-party software packaged with the platform.

Component	Description
SpiceDB	An open-source, database-backed system for managing fine-grained authorization. Provides a relationship-based access control model (ReBAC) and powers complex authorization at scale.
SpiceDB Operator	A Kubernetes operator that automates the deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management of SpiceDB instances. It streamlines operational tasks such as upgrades, scaling, and configuration changes.
Dgraph	A distributed, open-source graph database designed for high-performance queries and real-time graph processing. Supports GraphQL natively and is optimized for horizontal scalability.

For previous FlowX.AI releases, please refer to the Release Notes overview.

Deployment notes

Standard deployment

This maintenance release follows standard FlowX.AI deployment procedures with no special considerations:

1. Update container images to 5.1.6 versions listed in the table
2. Deploy services using your standard deployment process
3. Verify deployment via FlowX Designer > Platform Status

Configuration changes

This release introduces optional environment variables for the process engine retry mechanism. These are not required — defaults work for most deployments.

Process engine — retry configuration (optional)

The following optional environment variables configure the exponential backoff with Equal Jitter strategy used for optimistic locking retries:

Environment Variable	Description	Default Value	Component
FLOWX_RETRY_MAX_RETRIES	Maximum retry attempts (total = max + 1 including initial)	9	process-engine
FLOWX_RETRY_BASE_DELAY_MS	Initial backoff delay in milliseconds	10	process-engine
FLOWX_RETRY_MAX_DELAY_MS	Maximum backoff delay cap in milliseconds	200	process-engine

No required configuration changes No database migrations No breaking changes Compatible with existing 5.1.5 processes and configurations

What’s included in 5.1.6

This maintenance release includes:

• Bug fixes for React renderer: modals, sliders, datepicker, selectors, disabled state, and accessibility
• Bug fixes for Angular + React renderer: card accordion height, focus outlines, button icon layout
• Bug fix for process engine advancing getting stuck on pod crash
• Bug fix for connection leak in application-manager export/import
• Improvement for configurable retry mechanism with exponential backoff
• Security patches across all platform components

For detailed information on all changes, see the FlowX.AI 5.1.6 Release Notes.
