We are definitely not in “maintenance mode” and have a lot of things in the works. With the last couple of years being what they’ve been things have often taken longer than we’d like but they’re certainly in motion.

Class! ;)
I think maybe simple and working is sometimes Good Enough™ and you don’t need weekly updates to prove a project is still alive.
Also, we’re bad at talking about the work we do. It’s the classic trap a lot of engineering founders fall into.
Besides, you are talking about the app, with this kind of saas, the app doesn’t really matter.
We took over most of the open source SDKs last year and then all of a sudden felt the burden of 5 new codebases so we cooled it for a bit.
This year we have been rolling out deeper SDKs with auto provisioning that in some cases might eliminate the need for terraform - Eg k8s, sidekiq, airflow and celery
It’s a great proof of concept that something like this should exist that gives developers observability for their cron jobs and background tasks but they seemed to have stopped working on it, so we started in 2014 and have shipped about every week since.
Ultimately, we believe you can’t trust software you can’t see. Background jobs are like the cities underground - absolutely essential to survival and easy to forget about as you move around on the surface getting things done.
