What's new in PulsAPI
New features, improvements, and fixes. We ship fast and keep you informed.
Auto-Discovery, Resilience, Postmortems & Executive Reporting
Wire Stack Health from real infrastructure and repos, score resilience over time, close the loop with AI-assisted postmortems, and give leadership a concise readout — plus a public status wall for every vendor at a glance.
- Capability auto-discovery: connect AWS and GitHub, run scans, and review suggested capabilities and dependencies before they land in Stack Health
- Resilience scoring per capability with history, plus aggregate stack health and on-demand recomputation when your model changes
- Incident verification so teams can record what was checked during an outage, improving downstream resilience and reporting quality
- Postmortems workspace: generate drafts from incident context, iterate, publish, and export to Markdown or PDF
- Executive reporting (Pro): distribution, summaries, and rollups under Settings → Executive Reports for stakeholder-ready snapshots
- Public Cloud Status Wall (/status-wall): live grid of vendor statuses in one place, with an embed mode for displays and iframes
- Marketing homepage refresh: clearer narrative, motion, and visual polish across hero, features, and trust sections
- Performance indexes on hot paths so dashboards stay responsive as monitored services and history grow
AWS Flagship Products: Dedicated Service Pages
EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Route 53, EKS, ECS, IAM, CloudWatch, SQS, and SNS each get their own PulsAPI service page — their own incident timeline, SLA metrics, components, and subscription.
- EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Route 53, EKS, ECS, IAM, CloudWatch, SQS, and SNS now have dedicated PulsAPI service pages (slugs aws-ec2, aws-s3, aws-lambda, …)
- Per-product incident timeline, SLA report, component breakdown, and subscription — no more navigating one giant AWS page
- Other AWS products (API Gateway, Cognito, Glue, …) continue to aggregate under the generic AWS service
- UI fix: top-level service status now correctly reflects the worst component state across all regions
- CloudFront component mapping fixed; AWS region-suffixed component keys grouped properly
Expanded Service Coverage & Reliability
42 new services in the directory, Hugging Face and Mercury added, AI search visibility improvements, and a wave of crawler and account reliability fixes.
- 42 new services added to the directory — broader coverage across cloud, data, and developer tooling
- Hugging Face status monitoring added; Mercury direct health check reactivated
- Improved AI search visibility (GEO/AEO): quotable answer blocks and FAQ schema across content pages
- Blog index polish and CSV export fix for incident history downloads
- Crawler reliability: status normalisation fixes, Google Search Console URL and sitemap corrections
- Account and password flow refinements; admin audit log and metrics dashboard polish
- Cache headers tuned for service detail pages for faster repeat loads
Stack Impact Intelligence & Expanded Service Coverage
Map your actual stack to live vendor status and see what's at risk in business terms — plus 21 new services added to the directory.
- Stack Impact Intelligence: model business capabilities, their dependencies, and environment scope (prod/staging/dev) so incidents translate into concrete business impact
- Capability dependency graph with criticality levels and assessed severity scoring as upstream vendors change status
- Capability impact history to review which parts of your stack were affected, when, and for how long
- Component search across all providers to quickly wire dependencies to the right upstream component or region
- Canonical regions API: unified region identity across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Atlassian for cleaner cross-cloud reporting
- 21 new services added to the directory, bringing broader coverage across cloud, data, and developer tooling
- SEO enhancements across service and marketing pages, logo and description fixes, and crawler reliability improvements
Integrations Hub, Embeds, Firehose & MCP Server
A complete integration layer: 26+ outbound connections, live status embeds, real-time firehose streaming, and an AI/MCP server for natural language vendor queries — plus a full features comparison page.
- Integrations Hub: 26+ integrations across chat (Slack, Discord, Teams, Google Chat, Webex), incident management (PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Better Uptime, FireHydrant), helpdesk (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Freshservice, Incident IQ), cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, Microsoft 365), and notifications (email, SMS)
- Dedicated marketing pages for every integration with setup guides, key features, use cases, and step-by-step HowTo schema
- Status Embeds: four embed types — iFrame, inline widget, modal, and TV dashboard for NOC screens
- Firehose: real-time webhook streaming for all status events, ideal for custom pipelines and data warehouses
- MCP Server: native Model Context Protocol support so AI tools like Claude can query live vendor status in natural language
- Settings integrations tab redesigned — connect, configure, view sync status, and review delivery history per integration
- Features page with a full competitor comparison table: PulsAPI vs StatusGator, Instatus, Better Stack, and Atlassian Statuspage across 9 dimensions
- Sitemap updated with /features and all 26 /integrations/[slug] pages; FAQPage and WebPage JSON-LD added to features page for rich results eligibility
Alert Rules, Escalation & Quieter Incidents
Define when and how you get notified, step up urgency over time, and pause alerts during planned maintenance — with history and stats to review what fired.
- Alert rules engine: thresholds, status transitions, consecutive failures, downtime budget, SLA breach, incident, and recovery conditions
- Escalation policies with ordered steps, delays, and repeat options so the right channel gets pinged if something stays broken
- Maintenance windows to suppress alert noise while vendors publish planned work
- Alert event history plus daily statistics for a clear picture of what triggered and when
- Flap detection to dampen alerts when status flickers
- Broader status page coverage and fetchers (e.g. Firebase, Hetzner, Webex) alongside ongoing crawler reliability work
Blog & Content Hub
We launched the PulsAPI blog — engineering insights, status monitoring best practices, and product deep-dives.
- New /blog section with articles on cloud reliability and operational intelligence
- Dedicated changelog page (you're looking at it)
- Redesigned professional footer with all navigation links
- Consistent marketing header across all public pages
