Entity Service Update

Release Date: June 20, 2024

We are excited to announce an update to the Entity Service that allows developers to apply Time-to-Live (TTL) to entities without a state machine. This enhancement enables automatic management of entity instance lifecycles for non-state machine entities, ensuring efficient storage utilization and removal of outdated or irrelevant data.

We add a new attribute named "ttlOnInactive" to the Entity Type APIs. Setting ttlOnInactive to true in the entity type request enables TTL for entities without a state machine.

Please note that TTL records can take up to 48 hours to expire.

For more information on configuring TTL for entity types and using the new "ttlOnInactive" attribute, please refer to the Manage Entity Types developer guide.
