New updates and improvements to Kotzilla Platform

November 20th 2024​

Cloud-Inject is now Kotzilla Platform​

To simplify and strengthen our brand, we’ve renamed Cloud-Inject to Kotzilla Platform, brought to you by Kotzilla; the creators of the Koin framework.

We also have a brand-new company website: kotzilla.io

Enhanced SDK for secure data transfer​

Security just got stronger! Kotzilla SDK 0.13.2 release has been upgraded with robust token-based security:

  • Private key management: Organizations now require private keys to ensure reinforced security.
  • Token generation: Generate private tokens per app using organization keys
  • AppKey management: Use the same appKey multiple times across organizations.

Thanks to these enhancements, the same app can now be registered multiple times on the platform. To help you get started, we’ve created a step by step tutorial based on the open-source NowInAndroid repo for Koin, demonstrating how to debug your apps with the Kotzilla Platform.

Additionally, the Kotzilla SDK is now available not only on Maven Central but also in our public Kotzilla Repository, making it even easier to integrate.

Revamped issues view​

We’ve completely reimagined the Issues View for better usability and alignment with the Session View

Improved layout: Clearly highlight issue types, impacted user sessions, and statuses.

Advanced filters: Filter by date, type (open/acked/closed), version, and content.

Detailed issue insights: Easily see type, creation/last-seen dates, and impacts within the redesigned issue detail page.

Collaborate on debugging (”Dev Team” and “Enterprise” editions only)​

You will never work alone again! You can now invite team members to your organization for collaborative debugging:

Invite members: As an Admin user you can invite users via email to create an account and join your organization.

Role Management: Admins can view roles, track invitations, and manage team access.

Collaborative Access: Invited members can debug registered apps and add new ones collaboratively.

Redesigned left-side menu​

Navigation just got simpler! The improved menu now includes:

  • Direct access to Settings, FAQ, Documentation, Support, and the Changelog.
  • A new “Settings Menu” for Admins to manage platform configurations with ease.

New dashboard component metrics​

We’ve added a new section to the Dashboard page that highlights the Top components requested. This section provides useful insights into your components complexity and performance with the following key metrics:

  • Component name
  • Number of dependencies (both direct and total)
  • Average duration time (for both creation and usage)
  • Number of classes using the component

This allows you to better understand how individual components are performing within your app.

Instant user feedback​

We’ve made it easier to provide feedback. The Slack button has been replaced with a dedicated User feedback link in the footer across all pages of Kotzilla Platform. Now, you can share instant feedback via a simple form, without needing to join a Slack channel.

Application consumption dashboard​

A new Application Consumption dashboard has been introduced, offering a detailed analysis of application usage. This view provides weekly insights into the number of sessions and events processed over a particular duration, allowing you to monitor consumption patterns at a glance.

SDK compatibility with Koin 4.0​

We’ve updated the Kotzilla SDK to support Koin 4.0, which is built on Kotlin 2.0. This update includes major improvements to the ViewModel API and embraces a fully multiplatform approach. Now, you can integrate Kotzilla Platform seamlessly with your apps that are using the latest version of Koin.

New sessions page analytics​

You can now see the number of instances requested, the number of events processed, the maximum event duration, and visual analytics about the types of events (e.g., UI events, scope events, or others). This overview enables you to quickly identify which sessions may require further investigation based on these key metrics.

The new Sessions page also includes a chart view that allows you to visualize sessions created by date. You can click on a particular date to drill down into the sessions you want to investigate.

Dashboard redesign to improve user experience​

The team has redesigned the Dashboard page to integrate the new sessions view and render the content in a more user-friendly manner. The current update includes three main sections:

  • An overview with key highlights of a particular version of an app: sessions analyzed, events consumed, different devices, as well as # issues and crashes detected.
  • A list of the latest user sessions and issues for a particular version

Performance and complexity charts have been removed as they were misleading and rarely used

Better support for Kotzilla Platform users​

To encourage your feedback and ensure you quickly receive answers to any questions about usage or issues, we've integrated a Slack button in the footer of Kotzilla Platform. This button is visible on all pages of the product.

Simplified onboarding​

We're continually enhancing every aspect of our app registration process. For instance, we've streamlined the process from 5 steps down to 4. Additionally, the initial registration page of the wizard has been simplified by removing the confusing "register" button.
