We're excited to share a small but mighty new feature. Our Text tile now supports Markdown! This allows you to include rich content on your dashboards such as headings, links, lists, images and more. At SquaredUp we know that a useful dashboard is more than just a few charts. With this update you can now provide key context to the data on a dashboard to help tell the right story. For example you might want to: You can easily do all that now, and more.

As a Senior Product Manager here at SquaredUp, I’d like to tell you more about how easy it is to share dashboards with anyone, as well as share some design decisions and explain the feature in more detail.

In previous roles I have been both an Engineering Manager responsible for a team, and a Program Manager responsible for branching strategy and process around CICD pipelines. In both of those roles (but for very different reasons), my product's build quality has been critical to product success. The obvious "why" to this is no builds, no product, but the real why is much more nuanced.

I first started my career in IT support back in 2003 when VMs where something that was “coming” rather than mainstream, so I had the privilege of witnessing the birth of VMs first hand when my company made the switch from bare metal to VMware GSX running on top of Windows Server 2003.

In discussions across the tech and data communities in recent years, a provocative idea has been gaining traction: the notion that dashboards are dead. The first time I came across this was in the article by Taylor Brownlow of the same name, "Dashboards are Dead". A worthwhile read. The article suggests that dashboards, as we known them, no longer serve the needs of modern data-driven organizations. Not through their own fault as such, more through misuse or over-asking.

Ever wished you could automatically generate a detailed and targeted dashboard at the end of your CI/CD pipeline for immediate visibility into your new deployments? Well, that’s exactly what we’re doing at SquaredUp, and we're excited to share our approach to integrating Dashboards as Code.

If you've found this blog via our pricing page, or have been considering upgrading, and you're trying to work out what to buy, this short write-up should help explain how the two consumption elements of SquaredUp work.

SquaredUp's awesome dashboards sit on top of some very powerful technology. In this post, I'll explain just what that means and how it can benefit you.

Toggle topic hub menu Engineering teams of today use a plethora of tools to perform different functions in the software development life cycle. While tools like Slack, Teams, etc. are great for quick notifications, they rarely give you a comprehensive view of the things in current state. Sure, you can switch between tabs for all your tools but an "Engineering dashboard" that brings this all together makes it much easier to consume quickly and effectively.

Hello again, folks! It sure has been a while. For those of you who know me, you may remember I used to work at SquaredUp as a tech evangelist until a couple of years ago. Then some things happened, and I left in pursuit of something else. However, life has come full circle after about 2 years and boy am I glad to be back!
