Zuplo Changelog
We release improvements, new features, and fixes daily. Follow along here to see the most important updates.
Role-Based Access Control allows you to assign specific roles to users who access the Zuplo Portal. These roles determine the permissions that users have and the actions they can perform. For example, you can assign roles such as "Admin", "Developer", or "Viewer", each with different levels of access to resources and functionality.
With RBAC, you can:
- Assign roles to users based on their responsibilities and access requirements.
- Limit access to production resources to only select users.
- Enable more users access to the Zuplo Portal, such as API Analytics, without compromising security.
See the Account Members & Roles documentation for more information.
Developers can use Zuplo's CLI and API to automate tasks with the Zuplo platform. For example, you can create a custom CI/CD process to publish your Zuplo API or automate the management of environment variables. Previously, each account had only a single API key, which granted full access to all resources and functionality. With Fine-Grained API Keys, you can create multiple API keys with limited permissions.
These new capabilities allow:
- Create API keys with specific permissions for specific tasks, environments, or projects.
- Set expiration dates on API Keys to ensure that they are only valid for a limited time.
- Administrators can view and manage all API keys in the Zuplo portal to maintain security of their resources.
See the Zuplo API Key documentation for more information.
Portal Improvements
We have made a number of improvements over the past weeks to the Zuplo Developer Portal to enhance the user experience and provide more functionality. A few of the new features are highlighted below.
-
New Layout and Fonts: We have updated the portal with a new layout and developer-friendly fonts to improve readability and usability.
-
CMD+K Navigation: We have added a CMD+K menu for easier navigation. This feature allows developers to quickly access different parts of the portal without having to navigate through multiple pages.
-
Services Section: We have introduced a new section in the portal for managing Zuplo services. This section allows developers to manage API Keys, Monetization, and other Zuplo services in one place.
These improvements are part of our ongoing effort to make the Zuplo Developer Portal more user-friendly and functional. We hope these changes will enhance your experience and productivity. If you have any feedback or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
Portal Updates
Usage Dashboard#
Account usage is now shown in the Portal. This allows you to track total requests, bandwidth, and compute.
New Fonts & Icons#
You might have noticed that the fonts and icons on the Portal feel a bit more modern. We have been working on improving the readability and usability of the site. We have more in store in January.
Manual Test Console Deprecation#
You likely noticed that a few months ago we shipped an update so you can access the API test console from withing the Route Editor in the Zuplo portal by clicking the "Test" button. As a result of this change, we will be deprecating and removing the API Test Console tab in January.
New Self-Serve Capabilities
Custom Domains#
Custom Domains can now be fully managed from the Zuplo Portal on all accounts types that support custom domains.
Account + Project Users#
All aspects of managing account and project members can be performed from the developer portal. Additionally, you can now see who has been invited, but not yet accepted their invitations.
Environment Management#
Environments can now be redeployed or deleted through the Zuplo Portal. Redeploying is useful when you want to change the environment variables without editing code of a source-driven environment.
Improved Github Integration
The Zuplo Github integration has been reworked to improve reliability and performance. You can now connect to Github with scoped authentication that allows you to only grant Zuplo access to a single repository. Multiple Github Orgs and Repos can be connected.
See the documentation for details
