[yeshamavani]

Dear ARC Community,
We trust you're doing great. Our team's been busy, as usual, cooking up some exciting stuff for ARC. In this month's newsletter, we've got a bunch of cool updates to share across our branches: ARC API and ARC IaC.

No more waiting, let's get to the good stuff!

🔧 ARC API

1. User-Tenant Service: Happy to announce that our old user-tenant service now has new capabilities. Offering more stringent cross tenant checks along with new API to favour better and more secure user-tenant management. All thanks to Sunny Tyagi for incorporating all the necessary changes.

2. Entity Reference Overridable: Transferring the power in your hands. Users can now override the reference of entities in authentication service, gaining full control by customizing entities and their relationships

3. Multiple Features to Toggle: Exciting News! Introducing a game-changing update, our feature_flag decorator now supports multiple features in a single list, giving you the power to choose between 'AND' or 'OR' strategies. Take full control of your feature toggles effortlessly!. Contributed by Devyani Kulshreshta

4. Workspaces: With the latest upgrade of Lerna, transitioning to workspaces has become imperative. Therefore, the sl scaffold command has been modified by Arpit Khanna to generate a monorepo that is workspaces compliant, shifting the responsibility of managing dependencies to your package manager.

We're excited to share a sneak peek into our upcoming updates! Here's what you can look forward to:

1. Story Book in ng Boiler Plate: The separation of components not only enhances development but also facilitates better testing of features. We will soon integrate Storybook into our Angular boilerplate, providing isolation between components and pages.

2. Tenant management UI: A UI extension to existing feature-toggle providing a user-friendly feature listing and implements role-based access control for enabled features specific to each tenant. This upgrade ensures a seamless experience, allowing tailored access and visibility, empowering our users like never before.
