This September, we’ve delivered several enhancements focused on simplifying onboarding, increasing transparency, and improving the out-of-the-box value of our platform. Whether you're exploring Rely.io for the first time or a long-time user, these updates aim to make your experience smoother and more productive.

We’re excited to offer a 15-day free trial of Rely.io, allowing you to explore how our platform can transform your developer experience and boost engineering performance. During the trial, you’ll have access to all of Rely.io’s core features, designed to deliver immediate value:

• Software Catalog: Gain complete visibility into your services and systems, with a constantly updated catalog that integrates directly with your development tools. No more stale documents or scattered information—find everything in one place.
• Self Service: Empower your developers to take operational actions, such as scaffolding new services, without relying on manual processes. This keeps best practices and security measures in place while improving efficiency.
• Scorecards: Set measurable goals, such as increasing deployment frequency or improving security standards, and track your progress automatically using metrics like DORA. This helps your teams continuously improve their performance and compliance with company standards.
• Homepages: Tailor your dashboards to focus on what matters most to you, with customizable views that aggregate your key data, from pull requests to incidents, all in one place.

During the free trial, you won’t be left on your own. We provide best-effort support to ensure you get the most out of your trial and can experience the full benefits of Rely.io. For more details, check out our full announcement here.

Please note that free trial accounts come with just one limitation: you can only add Git plugins at this time. However, this still allows you to explore key features and see how Rely.io can streamline your development processes.

Self-Service Actions eliminate the delays and frustration of traditional TicketOps workflows, allowing developers to move quickly and autonomously.

However, for critical operations—such as scaffolding new services, provisioning costly cloud resources, or granting temporary access to secure systems—having control mechanisms in place is essential.

Our Action Approval system ensures that developers can still move fast while giving Platform Engineers a frictionless way to validate and approve these sensitive actions.

When an action requires approval, the system adapts the experience for developers by changing the call-to-action from [Run] to [Submit], making it clear that additional approval is needed.

However, in the past, developers had limited visibility into the approval process—such as who would be reviewing their submitted actions.

That’s now changed. We’ve introduced a new section in the action submission form, which clearly outlines who can approve each action, giving developers full transparency into the next steps of the process. This improvement adds clarity while maintaining the fast-paced efficiency that Self-Service is designed to deliver.
