Spotlights
Project deployment experience improvements
We’ve made some major changes to the project setup and deployment experiences to further streamline your team's developer self-service! After clicking “Deploy Project”, you can immediately see the resources that are being provisioned and detailed logging information about what Tempest is doing behind the scenes.

Once set up, you’ll be able to see at-a-glance what code is deployed to your Project environments and quickly open it in GitHub.

Private App management updates
We know that Private Apps are a critical part of the Tempest experience that lets you pull in and automate any piece of technology in your stack. After seeing how users interact with this feature, we’ve released several improvements to make building and managing your Private Apps even easier.
Here’s what we’ve done:
It’s now easier to set a Private App version as the current one when publishing, which ensures that the changes you make are being correctly reflected across Tempest.

We improved the onboarding experience to include more links to documentation on how to setup Private Apps and quickly copy Tempest CLI commands to get started locally faster.

We added the option to activate a Private App version for use across your organization when publishing
We fixed a bug in the App Playground where very long resource configurations weren’t scrollable.
We now allow unpublished Private App versions to be permanently deleted.
