We’re pleased to announce the release of firestore-batch-incrementer v0.1.1, published on May 7, 2025. This maintenance release continues our commitment to keeping the project up-to-date with the latest Go runtime versions while maintaining full backward compatibility.

What’s New

This release focuses on infrastructure updates rather than new features:

  • Go Runtime Upgrade: The application has been upgraded to use Go 1.24.3 across all build configurations, including the Docker base image, CI/CD workflows, and module definitions
  • Documentation Enhancement: Added a GitHub release badge to the README for easy version identification

Why It Matters

While this may appear to be a straightforward maintenance update, it represents an important aspect of responsible software development:

Stay Current: Running the latest stable Go version ensures you benefit from upstream security patches, performance improvements, and bug fixes that the Go team delivers regularly.

No Breaking Changes: This is a non-breaking release. Your existing deployments, environment variables, and configuration settings continue to work exactly as before. There are no code changes or API modifications to worry about.

Smooth Upgrade Path: Upgrading to v0.1.1 requires only rebuilding or redeploying your Cloud Run Job with the updated image. No configuration modifications or code changes are necessary.

Installation and Upgrade

For Existing Users

Upgrading from v0.1.0 is straightforward:

  1. Pull or rebuild the Docker image with the updated Go 1.24.3 base
  2. Redeploy to Google Cloud Run Jobs

No configuration changes or environment variable updates are required. All existing settings for PROJECT_ID, COLLECTION, FIELD_KEY, and other parameters remain valid.

For New Users

If you’re new to firestore-batch-incrementer, this tool helps you iterate through Firestore collections in batches while atomically incrementing numeric fields. It’s designed to run as a Cloud Run Job with configurable rate limiting and batch sizes.
