Hi all,We’ve begun the process of deprecating a few fields from our Export API in order to simplify the format and remove misleading/confusing information. Here is the list of affected fields. Note that to preserve backwards compatibility, these fields will continue to exist as keys in the JSON data, but their value will always be null.$schema: removed, an Amplitude-internal field. is_attribution_event: removed, an Amplitude-internal field. amplitude_event_type: removed, an Amplitude-internal field. device_manufacturer: removed, data is duplicated inside device_type/device_family. device_brand: removed, data is duplicated inside device_type/device_family. device_model: removed, data is duplicated inside device_type/device_family. user_creation_time: removed, an inaccurate timestamp. If you were using this field, please note that it is not an accurate value and will not match with the “New User” calculations in Amplitude. If you have an important business use case for this field, please

TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 cryptographic standards removal notice

Amplitude application interfaces (API) to enforce a minimum of TLS 1.2 beginning Nov 28, 2022.Security and privacy are of paramount priority here at Amplitude and we are constantly evolving our security processes based on industry best practices. Part of that evolution is the enforcement of strong cryptographic standards in our environment. The use of at least TLS 1.2 is a recommended security best practice for improved privacy and data integrity and to maintain compliance with the latest industry standards. Last year, Amplitude removed support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on Amplitude’s web application https://analytics.amplitude.com. We continued API support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 until now to maintain backward compatibility for customers that have older or difficult to update clients. However, given industry adoption of the TLS 1.2 and negligible traffic received using these older versions,Amplitude has made the decision to employ these higher standards across our environment and d

New Features: Developer Tools and Workflows

Our Developer Experience Team digs deep into our user experience and journey. We are excited to introduce a couple features we worked on this year. Ampli - More Platforms And Source Control The Ampli CLI, Ampli SDK work together to generate a tracking library based on your Tracking Plan. Different from Amplitude SDK, it provides these benefits: Tracking plan is automatically converted to code, preventing the need for looking up Event definitions and converting them to Events by hand. Prevents typos and inconsistencies that can happen using untyped SDK. Strong types enforce event schema at compile time via static analysis, preventing bad data before it's created. Easy for developers to check implementation status. The CLI command  `ampli status` displays a list of instrumented events which are missing. This year, we added more supported platforms, including Browser (JavaScript, TypeScript), Android (Kotlin, Java), iOS (Swift, Objective-C), JRE (Kotlin, Java).Another major improvemen

Announcing Amplitude’s New Developer Center

We’re excited to introduce the new home of Amplitude’s developer content. The new Amplitude Developer Center brings all of our resources for developers together on a single website. Before, our developer content was split across three different websites. You couldn’t search everything at once, and you couldn’t easily navigate between sets of content. It’s better to show than to tell, so let’s take a tour of the new site! The home page links to the content for each product and other helpful resources. You can use the search bar, or you can navigate straight to the docs for the product you’re working with. Clicking on an item in the top navigation takes you to the overview page for that product. Here, you can read a product overview and find the information you need quickly. Use the left navigation to jump between topics.  In each topic, use the table of contents on the right to jump to different sections.  Documentation featuresThe new site is packed with useful features that make the d

Community Spotlight: Sheena GreenInterview

 In this installation of Community Spotlight, we will like to celebrate Sheena Green. Sheena is a champion of Amplitude at Mint Mobile, and more recently, a superuser here in our Amplitude community. Earlier this year, we sat down with Sheena to understand how she uses Amplitude, her journey with the tool, and some of the upcoming challenges she foresees for the Analytics ecosystem. How are you using Amplitude within your current role and for how long have you been using it? I’ve been using Amplitude for over 3 years. As my team’s primary tool for analyzing user behavior on our Web and App products, Amplitude helps us understand what resonates with our users so we can leverage these insights to ultimately drive engagement, conversions, and product loyalty.
