Summary

Rollbar has introduced an enhancement to their Versions feature by updating the Deploys API, allowing developers to notify Rollbar at the start and completion of a code deployment. This update ensures that notifications about new versions include comprehensive details, such as the number of commits and the user initiating the deploy. The process can be executed using a Bash script with tools like curl and jq, which can send HTTP requests to Rollbar's API. Developers can set the deploy status as "succeeded" or "failed" at the end of the deployment, with automatic timeouts applied if no updates occur within a specified period. This feature is designed to assist in tracking and managing deployments more effectively, with the option for new users to sign up for a 14-day free trial to explore its benefits.
