Changelog

We've shipped several major updates this month to give you more flexibility, deeper insights, and broader platform support.

• Project Insights: Every project now has a dedicated Insights tab with deployment analytics — total deploys, success rate, average duration, and per-server breakdowns with trend indicators: https://www.deployhq.com/support/projects/project-insights

• Global Environment Variables: Set account-level environment variables that automatically cascade to every project. Define shared defaults once, then override at the project or server level as needed. Variables are encrypted at rest and can be locked to prevent changes: https://www.deployhq.com/support/global-environment-variables

• Network Agent: A new Go-based replacement for the Ruby deploy-agent gem — a single static binary with zero runtime dependencies. Supports Linux and macOS, adds built-in connectivity checks, and migrating takes three commands with existing
  certificates carrying over: https://www.deployhq.com/support/migrating-to-network-agent

• Expanded Payment Methods: We now accept a much wider range of payment methods through Stripe at no extra cost — including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Klarna, SEPA, iDEAL, Pix, Alipay, and many more, automatically determined by your billing country:
