We hope its not too late to say Happy New Year and share our resolutions! After a long break we are excited to be back in the office... well our desks. 

While the team is trickling in from break we are taking the time to polish up the platform this week and next- with the intention of shoring up stability and scaling up operations.

Three weeks ago we launched the Priority boarding program that gave access to preview features we are working on. Through this program we have been gathering critical feedback on Metro UI from our users.

It’s a super long list so we won't post it here but we still want you to keep the feedback coming in the #priority-boarding channel in 

We’ve also improved the look of Metro dark mode. Services on the canvas have increased contrast and readability. Metrics have also been improved and are cleaner and easier to grok.

A tremendous amount of users joined us to ship projects big and small last year. That means there is needed work to support the next wave of projects as well as scaling existing ones.  

This means that we have spent a lot of time working on alerting, spinning up more capacity and fixing pesky bugs like the “phantom containers” a few of you faced. (Sorry about that.)

Percy got a tune up, Percy will no longer want to derail its self and go offline for no reason.
