Hello everyone this is the sixth feature email newsletter we've sent out (view first, second, third, forth and fifth) and we do have some really neat things to share with you. We've included links to the blog entries that accompanied the changes listed below so you can read more about specific things. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at [email protected]

Before we get to the feature changes we just wanted to give you an update on how the service is generally. In a word, things are great. We're still seeing huge uptake of the service and just last month we broke several of our own records for new user signups, queries made and revenue generated. The service remains healthy and growing. Now lets get to the updates!

  1. Outreach
    • We completely overhauled our API documentation and introduced a test console. [Blog Link]
    • We added email alerts for customers who prefer to pay their plans manually instead of using a subscription. [Blog Link]
    • We added support for custom rule plans in addition to custom query plans for our largest customers.
    • We added documentation for our new custom rules feature. [Blog Link]
  2. Infrastructure Changes
    • We added a new server called HADES which is dedicated to provisioning servers and cluster management. [Blog Link]
