SDKs

The Lattice API

With the SDK and its open data models, Lattice lets you integrate highly customizable data systems and hardware platforms with Lattice’s growing body of robust, field-tested integrations.

Lattice provides the following APIs:

Entities

Entities model anything in the world that is of significance to an operator.

Tasks

Tasking enables you to send sequential commands to agents connected to Lattice.

Objects

Objects let you store distributed binary data in Lattice.

API availability

Lattice APIs designate three availability levels: beta, generally available (GA), and deprecated:

API Versioning policy
  • Resources marked as beta should not be depended on in production.
  • Resources marked as beta may have breaking changes without notice.
  • Resources marked as beta may not be available within every Anduril environment.
  • Resources not marked as beta are generally available, and maintain stability.

For REST, any REST APIs still in development are marked as beta within the reference documentation:

Displays the Lattice REST API with a `Beta` label.

For gRPC, APIs still in development are marked with beta in the namespace. For example, anduril.entitymanager.v2beta.

Lattice SDK versions

The Lattice SDK versions for different languages are independently versioned. The versions are based on the semantic versioning standard. For example, in version 2.6.4, 2 is the major, 6 is the minor and 4 is the patch. When we release a new version of the SDK, we increment one of these values depending on the type of change introduced.

  • Major: We increment the major version when the version contains breaking changes that are not backwards compatible with the previous version. For example, to change a method.
  • Minor: We increment the minor version when the version contains new features that are backwards compatible with the previous version. For example, to add a new method.
  • Patch: We increment the patch version when the version contains backwards compatible bug fixes. For example, fixing a bug where Entities were not correctly publishing.
SDK Versioning policy

When a new Lattice SDK major version is released, the previous major version is supported for six months for critical security fixes.

If you’re on an older major SDK version, we recommend upgrading to the latest major version to take advantage of new features and bug fixes. Older major versions of the package continue to be available for use, but won’t receive any additional updates.

v1 to v2

Moving from Lattice SDK v1 to v2+ consisted of a major change where we generated clients from our REST endpoints rather than our gRPC endpoints. A special migration guide is available for this migration.
