Hookdeck has made the Event Gateway Metrics feature available on all plans, including the free tier, to enhance developers' ability to manage event-driven systems with improved observability. Previously a paid feature, Metrics provides valuable insights into requests, events, and system performance, crucial for debugging and incident response. This update not only removes the paywall but also includes user experience improvements based on feedback, such as simplified grouping of metrics into Sources, Connections, and Destinations, integrated totals within charts, and an "Explore" option for direct navigation to relevant data. These changes aim to provide a more intuitive and accessible user experience, supporting developers in effectively managing their systems.
