While the performance improvements will vary significantly between maps, we&#8217;ve found that maps that make use of many attributes benefit the most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Progressive loading of feature tiles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We also improved the experience when loading feature-dense datasets. As you might already know, features are requested in feature tiles which are built for high-performance caching. The API draws features incrementally as they are loaded, which results in a visual progression of the loading tile. This can be observed in the animation above which compares loading a feature layer with more than 1.1 million building footprints in version 4.16 (left) and 4.17 (right).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better data processing and memory management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The API requests data in protocol binary format (PBF) by default. All PBF parsing now happens lazily, and we keep PBF-encoded features in their native binary format, using binary readers to work <em>directly<\/em> on the compressed feature data. This allows the data processing to scale better, and help to alleviate memory pressure, as we no longer need to deserialize individual features.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>More stable and flexible stream layers<\/h2>\n<p>With the growing demand for apps that can visualize and analyze real-time data feeds with a skyrocketing number of observations per second, we have revamped the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/javascript\/latest\/api-reference\/esri-layers-StreamLayer.html\">StreamLayer<\/a> in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#observations\">More observations<\/a>: Enabled it to handle faster streams with more data<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#streams\">Custom WebSockets<\/a>: Expanded it to work with custom WebSockets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"observations\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>More observations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With some streams pushing tens to hundreds of thousands of observations per second through a WebSocket, the StreamLayer needs to be able to adapt to the incoming observations based on the client\u2019s capabilities. Additionally, web apps are typically expected to work across desktops and mobile devices alike \u2013 which vary in processing power and available memory.<\/p>\n<p>With the latest updates, the StreamLayer will display the observations when possible, and apply logic for handling when the client\u2019s capabilities (like available memory and processing power) can\u2019t handle the speed of updates. With this improvement, the app doesn\u2019t run out of memory and cause the system to get bogged down. Once ready, the updates can be patched in and seen on the map.<br \/>\n<a name=\"streams\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Consume streams from any source<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prior to 4.17, StreamLayers worked with Esri Stream services coming from either <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.arcgis.com\/en\/geoevent\/\">ArcGIS GeoEvent Server<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-velocity\/overview\">ArcGIS Velocity<\/a> (previously called ArcGIS Analytics for IoT). With this update, you can consume streams coming from your own custom WebSocket \u2013 essentially data coming from anywhere. The basic requirements for the stream are outlined in the documentation such as a single geometry type, the inclusion of a unique ID field, and a track ID field.
