We're increasing the default cron jitter from 5 to 20 minutes

At Platform.sh, we are committed to making your site perform as best as possible. As part of this commitment, we need to smooth down the system load spikes as much as possible—especially when many crons are triggered at the same time on a particular Grid region. To do so, we are increasing the default cron jitter from five minutes to 20 minutes.

The pandemic has indeed caused a massive spike in cybercrime

Recent events of the pandemic have facilitated a rapid implementation of remote working tools, causing an increase in ransomware attacks – businesses suffer from financial and data losses. In order to prevent such attacks, companies must not only educate their employees about best cybersecurity practices but also embed professional security solutions within the internal business processes and systems.

Composer Updates with Source Operations

An application on Platform.sh can define a number of operations that can be applied to its source code. Source Operations can be fully automated, which can be useful when projects need scheduled updates applied to their applications. These commands, once defined, can replace the need to push updates from a local repository by running composer update automatically.
