Changelogs

Changelogs: August 2024

July was a great start to Q3! We launched the Teams feature, released a new Autoscaler, added process counts, and updated our Create Room button. Let the summer games begin🌞

🏆 One Team, One Dream

We’re excited to roll out the Teams feature on our platform! You can now invite team members using unique email addresses. Keep in mind, currently, each email can only be part of one Team. For details on inviting users, check out our docs page.

🛺 Introducing a new Autoscaler

Vaulting our capacity to keep up with player demand is our utmost priority. With our new Autoscaler, you’ll experience faster scale-up times (~60% faster😱) and data-driven scaling using live metrics. For example, when your game experiences a demand spike, we’ll automatically provision enough nodes to get back to the 75-85% utilization target. Under the hood, the new autoscaler enables provisioning capacity with multiple cloud providers.

🧮 Added process counts

You can now view process counts directly in the process table. Filter by region and/or status and get the number of processes that meet those filters.

🔘 Updated Create Room button to improve UX

We know, the old button was more bronze medal than gold (iykyk). With our new design, you can view all regions and ping times. After you select a region, click Create Room to launch a process.
