We've been hard at work on the new Flightcontrol dashboard, and we're so excited to officially launch it and make it the default going forward! Right now, the new dashboard is in open preview, and you can use it side-by-side with the current dashboard.

In the meantime, we've also made several improvements to the platform that we'd like to share with all of you.

🚀 New Features

• Added support for the GitHub Container Registry to deploy public Docker images.

• Added the ability to use Container Insights for ECS Fargate for additional service metrics

🛫 Improvements and Changes

• Increased the default read timeout for CloudFront to 60 seconds from 30 seconds for new environments. This means that your service can now take longer to respond to an HTTP request.

• For brand new projects, we no longer set the NODE_ENV and RAILS_ENV variables by default for builds using Dockerfiles. This lets users set their own values (such as staging or test) for these environment variables.

• For new services, we now use Nixpacks version 1.17.0 for builds.
