What is Scalingo?

Scalingo blocks exploit traffic at the router while customers patch Node.js and PHP.

Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. This week was mostly incident response: the router now rejects Brotli-encoded requests to existing Node.js apps and multipart requests to PHP apps, base images drop CA trust paths affected by the eMudhra compromise, and patched PHP and Python versions shipped. A CLI command lets apps toggle the multipart block themselves.

What is Z-Wave JS UI?

Z-Wave JS UI 11.25.2 fixes HTTPS certificates that the new Node 24 image rejected.

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver, but 11.25.0 was a fuller feature release with Configuration CC entity defaults, tighter column filters and min/max/step value hints. The Docker image moved to Node 24 in that release, and 11.25.2 now regenerates self-signed HTTPS certificates that Node 24 rejected. 11.25.1 bumped Node to 24.22.1 and zwave-js to 15.31.2.

Scalingo vs Z-Wave JS UI: editorial side-by-side

S
Scalingo

5.0

Scalingo blocks exploit traffic at the router while customers patch Node.js and PHP.

◆ Current state

Scalingo is a European PaaS that keeps runtimes close to upstream. This week was mostly incident response: the router now rejects Brotli-encoded requests to existing Node.js apps and multipart requests to PHP apps, base images drop CA trust paths affected by the eMudhra compromise, and patched PHP and Python versions shipped. A CLI command lets apps toggle the multipart block themselves.

◆ Where it's heading

Scalingo is using its routing layer as a shield, filtering vulnerable traffic before it reaches unpatched apps and then giving control back to customers through the CLI and SDK. The pattern is to protect by default and let customers opt out explicitly. Normal buildpack updates continue underneath.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Brotli and multipart filters to become configurable in the dashboard, as Scalingo has promised for multipart, and to be relaxed once patched runtimes are widely deployed.

Z5.0

Z-Wave JS UI 11.25.2 fixes HTTPS certificates that the new Node 24 image rejected.

◆ Current state

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver, but 11.25.0 was a fuller feature release with Configuration CC entity defaults, tighter column filters and min/max/step value hints. The Docker image moved to Node 24 in that release, and 11.25.2 now regenerates self-signed HTTPS certificates that Node 24 rejected. 11.25.1 bumped Node to 24.22.1 and zwave-js to 15.31.2.

◆ Where it's heading

Releases alternate between thin driver bumps and occasional UI and Home Assistant discovery batches. The Node 24 move is producing its own follow-up fixes, and the Home Assistant integration remains where most user-facing changes land.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next releases to go back to zwave-js and Node patch bumps, possibly with more Node 24 compatibility fixes, and another UI batch in a few weeks.
