Improvementv1.15.0August 19, 2026

Tiered Crawling, Component Fleet View & Region Flags

Popular services now refresh several times faster without adding crawl load, service pages describe every tracked component instead of the first twenty, and regions carry their country flag.

  • Tiered probe scheduling: high-demand services refresh roughly five times more often than the old flat sweep, while the dormant long tail backs off, same total request budget
  • Anything mid-incident or that just changed status is escalated to the fast tier automatically, so recoveries surface quickly and flapping stays visible
  • Conditional GET (ETag / Last-Modified) caching against vendor status pages, unchanged payloads no longer cost a full fetch and parse
  • Service pages now report the full component fleet: total tracked count and a status histogram, with the visible list ordered worst-status-first instead of alphabetically
  • Country flags on region rows and component regions, served from our own origin rather than a third-party CDN
  • CrowdStrike Falcon monitoring added via authenticated-surface probing across nine Falcon clouds (CrowdStrike publishes no public status page), catalog now 2,463 services
  • Sitemap correctness: per-URL lastmod derived from real status activity, and full dynamic generation so no page ships a frozen timestamp
  • Uptime accuracy fix: per-component uptime now resolves the latest reading per component instead of mixing in stale rows
  • Anthropic and Claude merged into a single service entry, no more split incident history across two pages
New Featurev1.14.0August 15, 2026

Teams, SAML SSO, Roles & New Pricing

Workspaces get real access control: team-owned dashboard groups, Owner/Admin/Member roles, and SAML single sign-on with optional enforcement, alongside a rebuilt pricing model and alert rules that can target a single component.

  • Dashboard groups are now owned by the team rather than shared copy-by-copy, everyone on the team sees the same board, and access follows membership
  • Role-based access control across teams, groups, boards, and SSO settings with Owner, Admin, and Member permissions enforced server-side
  • SAML 2.0 single sign-on: configure your IdP under Teams → SSO, with metadata exchange, assertion replay protection, and optional SSO enforcement for the whole team
  • Seat meter and team switcher in the app shell, see remaining seats before inviting and move between workspaces without a reload
  • Rebuilt invite flow with clearer join, expiry, and already-a-member states
  • New pricing: Free now includes 25 monitors, and monitors are unlimited from Pro up, no more upgrading a tier just because your stack grew
  • Plan limits now return structured errors, so hitting one opens a specific upgrade dialog naming the limit instead of a generic failure
  • Alert rules can be scoped to a specific component or dashboard group, not just a whole service
  • Group members now receive board alerts, previously only direct subscribers were notified for group-added services
  • Namecheap status monitoring added
New Featurev1.13.0August 9, 2026

2,400+ Services, Demand-Ranked Directory & Privacy Controls

The catalog grows from 292 to over 2,400 monitored providers, the directory ranks by real demand instead of alphabet, and analytics now runs behind explicit consent.

  • Service catalog expanded from 292 to 2,400+ monitored providers across cloud, SaaS, data, developer tooling, security, and consumer platforms
  • Directory ranked by demand so the providers people actually check surface first, with category pages and a faster server-side status rollup
  • First-party logos for the expanded catalog, served from our own origin, with a strict no-guessing rule so a wrong logo is never shown
  • Onboarding catalog picker: search the full catalog and build your board during connect-stack instead of adding services one at a time afterwards
  • Analytics behind Consent Mode v2, nothing tracks until you opt in, with granular controls under Cookies and Privacy Choices
  • Settings and category UI refinements across the app shell, plus a redesigned directory table
  • Reliability: fixed a cache serialization bug that could 500 every status surface, and corrected per-IP rate limiting that counted all server-rendered traffic as one client
  • Hetzner, CometVPN, Mailgun, and CloudFront monitoring fixes; AWS and Google component mapping corrections
Improvementv1.12.0July 23, 2026

Catalog Growth, Homepage Copy & Docs Refresh

The service directory reaches 292+ providers, homepage messaging is clearer and more direct, Fusion Engine samples get syntax highlighting, and product docs get a full copy pass.

  • Service catalog expanded to 292+ monitored cloud and SaaS providers with refreshed registry descriptions
  • Homepage copy refresh: sharper hero, FAQ, stack health, and pricing messaging
  • Fusion Engine: lightweight JSON and XML syntax highlighting on vendor payload samples
  • Product documentation copy pass across getting started, dashboard, alerts, integrations, SLA, teams, and support
  • AI agent skill and llms.txt aligned to the current catalog size and PulsAPI naming
New Featurev1.11.0May 17, 2026

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 that shows 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
  • Homepage copy and layout refresh across hero, features, and trust sections
  • Performance indexes on hot paths so dashboards stay responsive as monitored services and history grow
Improvementv1.10.0May 7, 2026

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
New Featurev1.9.0May 4, 2026
