Artifacts now in beta: versioned filesystem with Git access
Artifacts is now in private beta. Artifacts is Git-compatible storage built for scale: create tens of millions of repos, fork from any remote, and hand off a URL to any Git client. It provides a versioned filesystem for storing and exchanging file trees across Workers, the REST API, and any Git client, running locally or within an agent.
Email Service - Email Sending now in public beta
Email Sending is now in public beta. Send transactional emails directly from Workers ( env.EMAIL.send() ) or the REST API, with support for HTML, plain text, attachments, inline images, and custom headers.

Windows node monitoring for Kubernetes is now Generally Available
We're excited to announce that Windows node monitoring for Kubernetes is now Generally Available . What's included Unified Helm chart: Windows and Linux nodes are now monitored using the same newrelic-infrastructure chart, no separate installation needed. A single enableWindows: true flag in your values.yaml is all it takes.
Precise log filtering with Adaptive Logs Drop rules
Adaptive Logs Drop rules allow you precisely define noisy or wasteful logs to drop, and can be used in addition to our own optimization recommendations. Use cases for drop rules include filtering out debug logs, dropping health check log lines, or downsampling in non-production environments.
Feature Flag and Experiment targeting based on First Seen Timestamp
What it is: Remote evaluation for flags and experiments now includes a built-in "First Seen" user property, pulled from the amp ID table at evaluation time. Flags and experiments can target on this value directly, bypassing the cohort membership update cycle that makes new-user targeting unreliable.
