Gauges, Meters and Server Usage!
A picture is worth a thousand words:
The product dialog is now much more exciting than earlier. The new Dashboard shows you realtime analytics! Online users are constantly changing based on time of day, size of your userbase and any active marketing campaigns. Response has been introduced. If your product becomes too slow, users will not convert and your conversion rate decreases. You will also start to lose your existing users if you do not improve the situation.
The new infrastructure view shows you a breakdown of your product:
Features are now limited to what is available for your selected product type (Social media, shopping platform, etc.). Researchers are able to produce "feature instances" that can be enabled on products. Instances have two properties: Quality and Efficiency. Quality determines how good the feature is and how many users it can attract. Efficiency determines how many server resources the instance will reserve. Keeping a low response time is done by a combination of improving efficiency of feature instances and installing servers. Servers are expensive, but improving efficiency takes time.
The above is only the primary changes. Beta 13 will also contain updates that improves performance (more than ever), changes how marketing and servers work, plus various other improvements. I'm super excited about this release. The update adds much needed complexity. It's targeted to all of us who loves numbers, stats and gauges! Thanks for the continuous support, it's very very much appreciated! All the best, Jonas
