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
Saleor 3.21 gives access to the first version of an OpenTelemetry data stream, which allows you to push the data to APM tools like Datadog, Grafana, or Uptrace.
Spans and metrics provide visibility into Saleor Core, native apps, and your connected services to help you build, test, and monitor your commerce stack.
🔅 Delegation
A configurable customer address strategy will allow you to control whether shipping or billing addresses are saved in the customer’s address book.
📦 Modeling
We're adding metadata and privateMetadata to previously missing mutations, such as those for Gift Cards and Draft Orders.
You can check the details of the upcoming release in the 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 (e.g. Next.js App Router, Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun and more).
🏎️ 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!
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.
Segment.io app
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.
