We are excited to announce a new global release of our software with unique API visibility features to help organizations discover problems with their cloud services well before they impact customers in production.

After adding new features in June we worked on fixing some minor bugs and improving the stability of our service. We’re happy to announce that besides those fixes, we were also able to introduce a major update to our heartbeat (background job) monitoring. It was requested by many, so let’s take a look at the details!

Today, we’re launching a major upgrade that will improve the way yourteam manages application errors, with more error states, error assignments,severity labels and a “my incidents” overview. Your team’s communication around incidents will improve significantly.You’ll know exactly how severe an error is, who’s responsible, and howyou handled this error historically.

You've always been able to execute CI/CD workflows via Bitbucket Pipelines using Atlassian's infrastructure. This is the easiest way to use Bitbucket Pipelines because you don't need to host or manage any servers. We host it and manage it for you.

Hi! 👋 Colin, the creator of StatusGator, here with big news. TL;DR We just rolled out a massive update (with 7+ new features) and redesigned the entire website. One thing we often heard from people seeing StatusGator for the first time is that it had a rather outdated look. Landing on our website, many people got the impression StatusGator was created 10 years ago and forgotten about.

Excellent new features have arrived in Loki v2.3.0. Bug fixes too. And performance increases on top of that. While we have been quiet, we have been very busy!
