This morning we launched a new update for the RapidSpike App. This update includes a totally new Dashboard experience for our users.

Today we’re happy to announce two new reports available to Skeddly users: Backup Coverage Report, Start/Stop Coverage Report. Both of these reports will cross-reference resources in your AWS account against actions in your Skeddly account to determine how “covered” you are.

Therefore, we undertook a little research...
Today, we released version 2.0 of the Skylight Agent. 2.0 doesn't introduce any new APIs, but we did rewrite the SQL Lexer to support more varieties of queries. We also spent a lot of time on internal refactoring and improved our error logging. Since we follow semantic versioning, we also took the opportunity to drop support for some older dependencies and environments.
