> GENERAL FEATURES

> ---
>
>
>
> *Horizontal scalability:* DHIS 2 can now be scaled horizontally at the
> application layer by hosting multiple DHIS 2 application instances in a
> cluster. Several technical challenges have beens solved, such as shared
> sessions, shared application cache and cluster leader election through the
> use of the Redis data store, and Hibernate cluster cache invalidation. The
> Redis data store is a requirement for horizontal scalability.

>
> Docs
> <https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/implementer/html/install_web_server_cluster_configuration.html>
>
>
>
> *Two-factor authentication:* You can now enable two-factor authentication
> for your DHIS 2 user. This lets you to enable a secondary authentication
> step for improved performance, using a TOTP
> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_algorithm>
> based authentication app such as Google Authenticator
> <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&hl=en>.
> You can enable 2FA from Profile menu > Account settings. Admins can disable

> API FEATURES

> ---
>
>
>
> *Kafka support:* DHIS 2 now utilizes Kafka for queueing events sent to
> the API before being imported into the system. This will allow for improved
