🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix various ECS-EC2 deployment issues

• Fix blue/green deployment issues

• Fix port form error not showing on network server

• Misc fixes and improvements

🚀 Features

• Blue green deployments for ECS based services in private preview

  • Blue-Green deployment is a deployment strategy that enables zero-downtime deployments by maintaining two identical production environments. This allows you to deploy new versions of your application, test them in a production-like environment, and then immediately switch traffic to the new version. It also makes rollbacks very fast.

  • Contact support if you'd like to try it

Another round of exciting updates for you all! We're now working on blue/green deployments for ECS based services, in addition to the ongoing major pipelines upgrade still in progress that will unlock infinite flexibility for you.

🚀 Features

• Managed ECS-EC2 clusters now enabled for everyone

  • AWS has a long standing issue with the ECS agent randomly disconnecting, resulting in orphaned EC2 instances which can cause traffic or deployment degradation.

  • We have attempted to solve this a few ways in the past, but there were still critical edge cases falling through.

  • So we bit the bullet, and developed a robust, full featured ECS cluster management solution to solve this problem once and for all.

  • It's enabled for everyone and working very well

• New "Server instances below minimum" notification

  • Enabled by default for all. This will notify you if your running server instances go below your configured "minimum instances" count.

  • If you receive this, it means one or more of your servers likely crashed (it will be auto replaced by ECS).

• Add Linux Capabilities config to ECS based services

  • Read the docs

⚙️ Improvements

• Support ElastiCache Valkey 8.1

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix environmentType filter in GET /services API

• Misc fixes
