How to stay current on flespi news, updates, and downtimes

Flespi is a highly dynamic platform and you may wonder how to stay in the know of all upcoming changes, updates, maintenance works, and downtimes.

One of the core principles we follow in flespi development is continuous integration — new features are delivered to the customers as soon as they are developed and tested. This way the customers don't need to wait for the scheduled release to get the desired feature and can have a reported bug fixed at no time.

The two main resources where we notify users about upcoming changes or critical past events are the forum and the NOC Telegram channel (see the links below).

You can also monitor the flespi platform's real-time metrics as well as uptime history on the Status page.

We recommend to subscribe to the forum threads related to the relevant protocols and platform modules you rely on (API, MQTT, etc.) to never miss an important change and have sufficient time for any necessary fixes. 

You can subscribe to the forum thread via RSS link and receive update directly into your email inbox. Notifications system in the forum is designed such a way that it will not send you a new notification about thread activity if you didn't read the thread, to prevent spamming. That's why please make sure that after receiving notification from corresponding thread you visit the forum and mark it as a read.

If we or our uplink provider have scheduled maintenance works that we expect to cause downtime, we schedule updates and warn our customers in advance via NOC.

We also aggregate the major changes, updates, and improvements that happened each month and publish an extensive monthly changelog.
