Our much-requested rollback feature is now live for all customers. The 

 in the docs has more details. Please let us know if you have any feedback!

Brandon will be speaking at the Infobip Shift conference in Miami this week - say hi!

Rollback is Live!

We have Rollback available as an opt-in early access feature, and we will be making it generally available later this week for everyone to use.

On the dashboard side, we're working on the new UI/UX for our Dashboard - send any ideas for improvements our way!

Rollback GA This Week + Work on Dashboard Overhaul

Our new Rollback functionality is available as early access now! Reach out to us using Slack, Discord, or email to turn on rollbacks, restarts, and rebuilds for your projects. We're making Rollback available to any user that wants to use it now, and then making the feature generally available by next week. 

This week, we're at the Write the Docs conference in Portland, Oregon and the Remix conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. Come say hi!

Rollback + Preview Environment Watch Paths

We're finishing up the deployment rollbacks functionality, so that you can re-deploy previous builds with confidence. Our development team is also moving forward with a user interface and user experience overhaul of our dashboard. We want to create the best place for all of you to deploy your builds and monitor their behavior over time, and we'll be excited to show you our new dashboard when it's finished.

This week, Flightcontrol will be at the Deep Dish Swift conference in Chicago, as well as the Reactathon conference in San Francisco. Come find us there and say hi!

Working on Rollbacks + Dashboard Overhaul

Last week, the Flightcontrol team gathered together at the amazing React Miami conference in Miami Beach, Florida!

We started work on an overhaul of the Flightcontrol dashboard's user interface and user experience. We're trying to make our dashboard the most intuitive developer experience out there for cloud deployments.

Our team also continued to work on the rollback capability for service deployments, as we know this is an important feature for many of you.

React Miami + Rollback + Dashboard UX Project

Our big announcement for the week is that the Flightcontrol team is assembling together at the React Miami conference this week! We want to meet our Flightcontrol users and anyone else who is busy writing and pushing code to production. How do you deploy things?

It's not just all React this week - we're working on the Rollback feature so that you can redeploy your last good build easily. 

Last week, in addition to the Rollback work, we also made some improvements to better support Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) with Next.js, and added a few new docs to the site.

React Miami! Meet the Flightcontrol Team + Rollback Work

After shipping email and Slack notifications, we have to keep the momentum going! We're adding support for rolling back deployments. For all of us that have shipped some code that didn't quite go as planned, this new feature will make it easy for you to use your last known good build.

We're also getting the team together at the 

conference on April 20-21, 2023 in Miami Beach, Florida. If you are going to the conference, come find us and say hi! We'll have stickers to give away, and all of us like talking to our Flightcontrol users!

Work on Deployment Rollbacks + React Miami Coming Up!

This week is a double launch for us at Flightcontrol! We're turning notifications on today (Monday, April 3, 2023). The first thing you will see is an email from us to all members of your organization if a build fails. You can customize the email notifications you get, as well as sending Flightcontrol notifications to a Slack channel on your Organization Settings page. Learn more about 

Speaking of docs - we redid our documentation site (

)! We organized the docs with a new information architecture, added a full-text instant search, setup code highlighting, and made updates to every piece of content on the site. We used the 

, and we hope you try out Nextra too! You'll see more improvements and additions to the docs, and we'll call attention to the big changes in these weekly changelogs.

Notifications Launch + Relaunch of Docs Site!

We'll be launching Notifications at the end of this week. Now you'll get email and Slack alerts for your important deployment events. No more wondering whether a deployment failed or keeping a browser tab open to your project page - Flightcontrol will send you an email to let you know! If you install our Slack integration, we'll also be able to update you there. 

We're progressively rolling it out this week, and expecting it to be generally available for everyone at the end of the week.

Have any ideas about how else you'd like to get notifications? Let us know through the Roadmap (

Rolling Out Notifications Later This Week!

Last week, we accomplished a lot of our remaining work on Notifications. We are now polishing up our Notifications functionality so that you and your team get timely build and deployment events.

Notifications Shipping Very Soon + Status Page

The team at Flightcontrol is still working hard on our notifications project! We've heard from many of you about how important notifications are for your deployments, and we're committed to delivering this for you. In addition to the team effort towards notifications, we've made some other improvements to the platform and fixed a bug in the AWS cost estimations we show you.

Working Hard on our Notifications Project

Another great week for development here at Flightcontrol! We're working hard on our notifications project, and can't wait to share it with all of you. We've also shipped several bug fixes and one improvement that should help clarify when we deploy pull requests.

Ongoing Work on the Notifications Project

Hi everybody! We're working hard on Flightcontrol, we shipped a number of improvements, and are starting work on the notifications project. Once we're finished with this project, you'll be able to subscribe to important events from your deployments.

Hello everyone. This week we made several user experience improvements and bug fixes for deployments.

Improve Repository Watch Path Logic, Other Improvements & Bug Fixes

Hello everyone. We're back to the office today after our week long retreat in Thailand. We were able to work on multiple improvements and bug fixes during our time together last week. Some of the improvements we shipped mono repository support, and provide more configuration options for preview environments.

Redis Encryption at Rest & Get Deployment Status API

Hello everyone! I'm writing this from Thailand, where everyone but Kayla (passport troubles) has met up for a week-long retreat. We've spent a lot of time focused on reinforcing team values and refining our team processes, as well as working on a new feature to alleviate monorepo headaches.

Changelog: Thailand Edition - UX & Bug Fixes

Hi everyone! This week, I'm excited to announce pre-built image support, which allows you to "bring-your-own-image" to Flightcontrol. This feature means instead of only using Flightcontrol as CI/CD, you can use it as primarily CI.

Pre-built Image Support and Nixpacks Improvements

Everyone is back in the office now, and work on pre-built images has been moving steadily, with a release coming very soon. In the meantime, here are some bug fixes and UX improvements that we've shipped.

Update Build Cancel Behavior & Other UX Improvements and Bug Fixes

It was another quiet week as we had several engineers out of office, however, everyone is back for this coming week. During the past week, we have been working on pre-built image support as well as various UI/UX improvements.

Add new FC_AWS_REGION environment variable

It was a short week for us at Flightcontrol, with half of our team off for the holidays. Next week will also be a short week, with the other half of the team on holidays. 

We have shipped a couple high priority features, and we are committed to continuing to work on UX improvements and bug smashing over the next two weeks.

Kicking off Bug Smashing & UX Improvements Month

Small Fixes & Improvements

You can setup your preview environments to include a preview database using AWS RDS.

: You will have a clean database for each preview environment created from your pull request. On the AWS resource level, only 1 RDS instance will be used for all preview environments (unless you’ve configured more than one RDS for the preview environment).

: You need to add a RDS service type to your preview environment.

You can now create a Redis instance using AWS Elasticache with Flightcontrol! 

Not available in preview environments yet.

: If you use flightcontrol.json you can add a new service to your environment using the type: "elasticache". If you use the UI, you'll see a new service type option to select.
