Sensu Go has come a long way since its GA release in December 2019; in a little over 10 months, we've seen 14 minor version releases (5.1–5.14), including dozens of new features and product enhancements, and hundreds of bug fixes (see the changelog for more information). Here’s a high-level timeline of what we’ve accomplished...

It's hard to believe it's almost been a whole year since the Sensu Go general availability release on December 5, 2019. As we look forward to celebrating this important milestone, we are also reflecting on how the product has matured over the past year, and sharing some exciting changes that are just on the horizon (for a look at the upcoming roadmap, check out this post by Sensu Creator, Co-founder, and CTO, Sean Porter).

Monitoring systems is critical to any IT operation. For many companies, these systems are a critical business component that can have serious business impact (including expensive downtime) if these systems fail. For this reason, it is essential that you have a good monitoring system in place that you can rely on, one that notifies you early if unforeseen problems occur.

This time last year, Sensu Go hadn’t been released in General Availability (GA) yet. Now, 10 months later, version 5.14 is in production environments, monitoring infrastructure, applications, and connected devices across public and private clouds. It’s been quite a journey to get to a product that’s both a massive improvement over the original Sensu 1.x and helps customers achieve enterprise-level scale.
