Yearly Subscriptions, UML Graphs & Platform Improvements

August 7, 2025

We're excited to announce a comprehensive update that enhances the billing experience, developer tools, and platform infrastructure in Zephyr Cloud.

New Subscription Improvements

Managing your subscription is now easier and more transparent with the following updates:

Save 15% by switching to an annual plan. You get the same benefits at a lower yearly price.

Responsive Design: Payment method cards are now fully responsive for desktop and mobile.
Clear Highlighting: Your current plan is now visually highlighted for at-a-glance clarity.
Input Validation: Form fields now include validation to prevent invalid data entry.

Plan Switching: Your seat count is now automatically preserved when you switch between plans.
Billing Clarity: The UI now clearly shows your total paid seats versus your currently used seats.

Visualizing applications and dependencies is now faster and more accurate than ever before.

Dedicated API endpoint: Introduced a specialized graph API for fetching linked applications across organizations/projects
ReactFlow-powered engine: Brand new UML graph component built with ReactFlow for superior performance and flexibility
Modular architecture: Node/edge calculators separated from rendering logic for better maintainability
Enhanced visibility: Graph now displays incomplete nodes so you see the full picture
Improved performance: Enhanced layout styling and optimized rendering
Better navigation: Updated application details panel for easier exploration

Faster loading times: Optimized data delivery means less waiting, more building
Cross-organization insights: See relationships across your entire infrastructure
Cleaner interface: Focus on what matters with improved styling and layout
Better debugging: Incomplete nodes help identify missing dependencies

Beyond the major features above, we've made several improvements to enhance the development workflow:

Intercom integration: Converted Intercom to a microfrontend for better modularity
Plugin updates: Upgraded the Zephyr plugin with the latest improvements and bug fixes

We've also addressed several issues to improve stability and performance:

Polyrepo graph fixes: Resolved issues with polyrepo graph visualization
Yearly subscription adjustments: Fixed edge cases in the new yearly subscription flow
Affected Tags and Environments deployments: A retry policy is now implemented in occasional tags/environments deployment failures due to points-of-presence latency in propagation

Your feedback drives these improvements. Let us know what you'd like to see next!
