Your status page is a bridge to your customers. It’s where you show what you can do and prove that your product is more than just sales talk. Though easy to overlook, it provides an opportunity to showcase all that’s best about your services. The trick is how to do it well. Fortunately, there are many outstanding status pages that you can draw inspiration from. Once your ideas take shape, you're ready to present your vision to customers.

This quarter, we added more integrations to StatusHub, launched new platform features, and continued improving our Status API. Here’s what’s new for Q2 2026.

A year ago, at WWDC 2025, Apple open-sourced container — a Swift-based CLI for running Linux containers on macOS, built on the Containerization framework and Apple's Virtualization.framework.

It matured out of preview and shipped its first stable 1.0.0 release on June 9, 2026.

Understanding a service outage is easier when you can see what it’s connected to. That’s why we’re introducing Relationships for Service Monitors, one of the most requested features from StatusGator’s hundreds of enterprise IT teams. You can now explore related services directly from the Service Details page by opening the Relationships dropdown.

Let’s take a look at everything we launched in June. From new Chrome and Firefox browser extensions and API enhancements to powerful new integrations and our latest Early Warning Signals report, here’s what’s new in StatusGator.
