Hello Catalyst Community!
We've released some exciting new features and made some enhancements in Catalyst for you last month. Here are the product updates for October 2021:
New Features
Application Alerts
Catalyst introduces Application Alerts- a highly useful feature that sends email alerts each time there are failures or specific event occurrences in any of these components: Cron, Event Listeners, or Logs.
Catalyst will listen for the occurrences that you configure the alert for, and send alerts based on the criteria and frequency you set. You can associate multiple entities of a component in a single alert, or configure multiple alerts for your use case. This feature enables you to keep track of function or component failures, and resolve issues in your applications instantly.

IaC Project Export and Import Operations in the CLI
Catalyst CLI now enables you to perform the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) operations of exporting and importing projects from the local environment. You can export a Catalyst project as an external ZIP file, and import a project ZIP file as a new project into any Catalyst account. You will be able to export a project's component configurations, functions, and client code, without any data.
A sample ZIP file containing the contents of a project export is shown below.
This functionality allows easy transfers of projects between data centers or between Catalyst accounts. It also enables easy access and testing of a project from an external environment, such as a GitHub repository.

Thanks!
