🚀 Product Updates 

Readyset Cloud

  • Created new CI/CD pipelines for staging and production hotfix deployments, including Playwright test integrations, ensuring rapid and reliable production updates.
  • Expanded support for additional AWS spot instance types and introduced a capacity-optimized-prioritized allocation strategy for spot requests, ensuring cost-effective and reliable resource provisioning.
  • Refined logic around subscription updates, AWS Marketplace integrations, and environment variable handling for secrets, ensuring seamless subscription management and secure configuration handling.
  • Implemented standardized endpoints (removing trailing slashes), single-click behavior for certain buttons, and auto-filling emails for migrated users, ensuring an improved user experience.

  • And more!
