Changelog

What's new in CompactHive. We post a single round-up per month covering customer-relevant changes: new services, pricing or policy updates, platform improvements, and notable fixes.

May 2026

  • New
    Stripe live modeCompactHive can now accept real payments. New tenants get a 14-day no-card trial; after that, monthly subscriptions are billed in EUR. See the SLA for what we commit to and the Terms of Service for billing details.
  • New
    Complimentary access for friends and pilotsAdmins can now mark a tenant as complimentary directly from the management panel. Comp tenants get full platform access, are excluded from billing automation, and never expire. Useful for friend tenants, free pilots, and incident credits.
  • Improved
    Per-tenant database dashboardsInternal monitoring now includes per-tenant Postgres metrics — connections, transactions, buffer hit ratio, deadlocks, and PVC usage — backed by kube-state-metrics. Helps us spot problems before customers do.
  • Improved
    Public status pagestatus.compacthive.io is live, hosted on infrastructure independent of the main platform so it survives a primary-site outage. Four monitors cover the platform API, signup flow, marketing site, and the status page itself.
  • Fixed
    Workflow reliability after Temporal restartsFixed a bug where the management app held a stale connection to the workflow engine after server restarts, causing tenant provisioning and deletion to silently fail. Connections are now health-checked and re-established automatically.
  • Policy
    Decision Change ProtocolWe now follow a written protocol any time we change a customer-facing policy, ADR, or canonical reference. This means stale information across our docs gets cleaned up in the same change — no orphan claims, no silent drift.

For platform incidents and post-mortems see the status page.
