New in StatusGator: Status Page Messages

StatusGator status pages are a unique way to consolidate the status of all of your vendors on a single page. Reduce support ticket volume by publishing your status page to your team or users. Now you can publish a message to the top of your status page for even more effective communication. Use this space for maintenance notifications, highlighting critical outages, or explaining your page to your users.

Squadcast is an incident management platform that integrates with major monitoring, ChatOps and project management tools to provide a centralized place for reliability.

Ocean evolves - "revert to lower-cost node" shrinks spend

Ocean automates cloud infrastructure for containers. It continuously analyzes how your containers are using infrastructure, automatically scaling compute resources to maximize utilization without sacrificing availability. Ocean shuffles workloads and then scales down underutilized nodes to ensure everything runs at the lowest cost.

OpenSearch is here

We’re excited to announce that Platform.sh now offers OpenSearch as a service available and included on all plans. OpenSearch is a distributed RESTful search and analytics engine you can use for log analytics, a search backend, clickstream analytics, and more. With the recent move by ElasticSearch to switch to a licensing model, it was important for us to propose a strong open source alternative. And OpenSearch is completely open source, so you could run and manage it on your own.

Public Dashboards Are Now Status Pages

One year ago we launched what would become our most popular feature yet: a page you could publish with your name and logo that aggregated the status of all of your cloud vendors. We called it a “public dashboard” because it did not require a StatusGator account to view, and it published your StatusGator dashboard for your entire team. We’ve now renamed this feature a “status page” and made it even more accessible inside of StatusGator. Why the change? Read on.

Announcing the beta for MacOS Runners in Bitbucket Pipelines

We are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines now supports MacOS self-hosted runners. This is currently in beta. You can now create a self-hosted runner and run it on your MacOS infrastructure to run MacOS and IOS builds. Since you’re using your own runner, you won't be charged for Bitbucket Pipelines build minutes. This self-hosted runner will be non-containerised allowing your CI/CD step to access the host's hardware, such as the graphics card or any connected external devices.
