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
- NewStripe live mode — CompactHive 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.
- NewComplimentary access for friends and pilots — Admins 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.
- ImprovedPer-tenant database dashboards — Internal 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.
- ImprovedPublic status page — status.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.
- FixedWorkflow reliability after Temporal restarts — Fixed 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.
- PolicyDecision Change Protocol — We 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.
