February 2025 Update – Observability, Dashboard Alerts & More
Welcome to the first edition of Saleor's new monthly update. As we step into spring, we have some exciting news to share. Read on to see what’s coming next.
Coming This Spring
We're gearing up for Saleor 3.21 that brings the first updates to Observability, Delegation, and Modeling.
Observability 🔭
Get full visibility into your commerce stack. Saleor 3.21 introduces the first version of our OpenTelemetry data stream, allowing you to send data to APM tools like Datadog, Grafana, or Uptrace.
Spans and metrics will provide deeper insight into Saleor Core, our official apps, and connected services — so you can build, test, and monitor with confidence.
Delegation 🔅
Gain control over how customer data is handled. A configurable address strategy lets you decide whether shipping or billing addresses are saved to the customer’s address book.
Modeling 📦
Metadata and privateMetadata fields will be now available in previously missing mutations — including Gift Cards and Draft Orders.
More consistency across the API means easier automation and integrations.
See the full list of updates in Saleor Core changelog.
App-sdk 1.0
We hear your feedback – we started working on native support for platforms other than Next.js in our app-sdk. Soon, we will release app-sdk@v1 that will include support for AWS Lambda, and any Fetch API compatible runtimes (like Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun and more).
You can always check what we're up to on Saleor's roadmap.
Latest Updates
Dashboard Observability: Introducing alerts for apps
We're adding a new type of notification in the Saleor Dashboard to alert you about webhook issues with your integrated apps.
How to find the alerts:
- An alert icon will appear next to the Apps menu in the navigation.
- On the Apps page, the icon will highlight an app with issues.
- When hovering over the icon, the details and a link to more information on the webhook's failure will be presented.
We want to give you more insights into your external services connected to Saleor, their performance, and your overall experience for managing integrations in the Dashboard. More updates coming soon!
This change was released in Dashboard 3.20.29.
Dashboard: Consistent filtering experience across views
The filtering experience has been unified across the following list views: Attributes, Collections, Content, Customers, Draft Orders, Gift Cards, Product Types, and Staff members. Released in Dashboard 3.20.28.
Saleor Status Page
You asked, we delivered! The Saleor Status Page ✨ now lets you subscribe to updates on outages from Cloud services, the Cloud Admin Console, and our integrations with Adyen and Avalara AvaTax.
New App: Segment.io
The app has landed in Saleor's App Store, allowing you to connect to your favorite CRM or Analytics platform. Get started by checking out the docs.
The Saleor Configurator
Configurator automates data model creation in Saleor. Instead of manually setting up product types and attributes, define them in a configuration file and let the tool handle the rest. Visit Configurator’s repo for details.
