Features
Easily debug API issues in production
Last newsletter we announced Deep Request Inspection for serverless that lets you inspect every HTTP request your site receives and the upstream API requests your code makes. We’ve enhanced the feature by adding a “Copy as cURL” button that lets you easily replicate and debug API calls locally using the popular curl utility.
Get a screenshot of every build
Customers frequently tell us how much our branch preview feature makes them more productive by enabling anyone on the team preview development work currently in-flight on any branch. In addition, they can deploy with confidence knowing it’s easy to rollback to any previous build. We’ve enhanced branch preview with snapshots. After every deploy, Layer0 will take a screenshot of that build’s homepage so it’s easier to preview and find the branch you’re looking for.
Easier site management on the go
We’ve started making the Layer0 console responsive, so it’s easier to use the Layer0 console from mobile devices. This will be a gradual process but we’ve already started updating a number of components including the sign-in flow, main menus and headers, and teams page.
Recipes for every day and exotic development tasks
If you’re trying to understand the power of EdgeJS, our handy Cookbook guide has a number of helpful examples of common (and not so common) routing and caching scenarios, including cookie handling, cache normalization, serving static files, and handling redirects.
