@RedLine13 Be Prolific<\/h1>\n

We’ve\u00a0been busy on many upgrades based on customer feedback. We\u2019ve made improvements to our integrations with Jmeter and Gatling, done a number of upgrades based on new AWS like new EC2 sizes and regions and Aurora, and made some nice improvements on the UI and graphing. \u00a0 Very excited to have also announced our partnership with UBIKLoadPack.<\/p>\n
