Shipped: Period-by-period costs in Explorer, no spreadsheet required

Oct 13, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
Finance teams reconcile cloud spend period by period. They want each month, week, or day in its own column, so they can scan across a row and see how a service or team changed over time. Explorer’s Aggregate view already answers “what changed and by how much.” But when the question is “what did we spend in June, July, and August, line by line,” that summary needs to become a grid.

The 75th percentile rose to 12.55%. The share of organizations spending at least $1,000 a month on AI barely moved, to 68.0%. Companies already spending drove the growth.

Oct 13, 2026 By Michelle Chua In OnPage
IT incidents do not follow a 9-to-5 schedule. A server can go down overnight, a critical application can fail on a weekend, or a high-priority support ticket can arrive when the IT team has already left the office. For IT teams, the challenge goes beyond simply providing after-hours IT support. They need a reliable on-call process that identifies the right responder, delivers critical alerts and ensures timely escalation when necessary.

Grape's error! Inside a Transaction Commits Your Data. Grape 4.1 Fixes It.

Oct 13, 2026 By Scout APM In Scout
If your Grape API calls error! inside an Active Record transaction, the client gets an error response and the database keeps the writes. No exception, no warning, no rollback. The request looks failed from the outside and succeeded on the inside. A fix merged into Grape on October 3 and is queued for Grape 4.1.0.
