Journey Strategy and Analytics
First up, we’ve made some upgrades to the Journey Editor that make it easier to measure and share your customer journeys.
- You can now visualize metrics overlaid on the customer journey map, making it easier to correlate your key performance indicators with steps along the journey.
- You can drill in to these metrics over time, with 1-minute, 5-minute, up to 1-day levels of aggregation. We see this as a big step forward in our approach to analytics for the customer journey age.
- You can now export your journey maps as PDF or PNG files for embedding in other documents or sharing with stakeholders, including custom branding.
Scripting Upgrades
We’ve upgraded and standardized our scripting capabilities.
- We’ve upgraded to Node.js 6 across the board, which is significantly faster and supports a vast array of modern JavaScript language features ("ES6").
- We’ve also pre-packaged libraries for commonly used functions, like date and time manipulation (“moment”), user agent parsing and device detection (“ua-parser-js”), and ID generation (“uuid”). We've also included a toolkit of common utilities that make working with common data structures much much easier ("lodash").
Performance Improvements
We’ve made even more significant performance improvements across the board
Databases and queues are by far our most commonly used integrations. We have drastically reduced transaction times and increased throughput, on average 3-5X, including API and web tracking graphs.
Intelligent use of caching and compression has reduced the user interface load times and increased UI responsiveness overall.
Changes to API HTTP headers and server-side configuration has reduced the number of requests, speeding up page loads and customer experience.
Other usability improvements
- Reorder columns in decision tables
- Tag environments and engine groups, filter by tags
- View log of deployment events, including starts, stops, and errors
- Only log / alert on deployment state degradation > 1 minute
- Default edit lock notification to closed for locking user
