Finishing 2024 Strong with Release 3.23.1

What Did We Fix?

• Reference or Preview Image Management. We're streamlining how we manage our image files - whether for reference images, preview images, or others. 
  • You will see all the same images displayed but these will be resized dynamically to improve performance.
  • As a result, we will be reducing the number of images in our APIs to just the original file and the medium size file. We will be looking into which is the optimized size from the API, and if you have any feedback, please email emily@shotflow.com. 

• Improved Logging. We went big on maximizing our backend application logs so that our Development team has better insights application performance and areas for .
  • These logs will help us be more proactive in our monitoring and faster to triage and resolution.

• Restructured Platform Scaling Pilot. We will begin a test of auto-scaling capabilities. This technology enables instant scaling to support maintaining high performance during peak operating times.

• This release deploys auto-scaling for two specific high usage brand apps.
• If successful, this change should be seamless to ShotFlow users and ideally bring page speed improvements.
• We will be monitoring to measure improvements and determine next steps for rollout.

Please note: we've had to revert barcode management optimization as the new barcodes were not working with barcode scanners from printed labels. If you encounter a barcode which is not scanning and the tag was generated on 12/23, please reprint the sample tag with a new barcode image.
