We’re kicking off the year with a bang (well, a focused one)! January’s update brings a couple of exciting additions to start your 2025 on the right foot.

Coding Hotspots (Beta)

Our new Coding Hotspots feature is here to help engineering teams identify the areas in the codebase that see the most bug activity. By analyzing JIRA issues, PRs, and commit history, it highlights the files most often modified due to bug fixes. This will help you focus on the right areas, improve code stability, and boost your team's efficiency.

It’s currently available through a flag as we continue to iterate and enhance it. If you want to be an early adopter, please reach out to usπŸ™Œ

2024 Wrapped:

Need a little end-of-year reflection? 2024 Wrapped brings you a summary of key metrics and highlights from last year - perfect for reflecting on accomplishments while you’re planning your 2025 goals. It’s like a year-in-review, but with more fun stats!

That's a wrap! Other than that, we’ve been hard at work planning the roadmap and making sure everything stays stable so you can hit the ground running in the new year. πŸš€

Time to debug your code and your caffeine levels for the new year β˜•οΈβš‘οΈ
