What's New @Lunar.dev - September Edition

‍

Hey friends of Lunar.dev - welcome to the ‘what’s new September edition’ - the place to catch up on our new releases, upcoming features and tap into some industry insights. 

Keeping endpoints organized with the new Path Parameters feature

Aggregate API calls with similar patterns under a unified path if the system recognizes more than 50 distinct values. We’ve developed a new feature that lets you create flexible, reusable URL patterns by defining variable segments within your URL, keeping your endpoints organized.

This automatic aggregation simplifies endpoint management, allowing you to define a single configuration for grouped APIs, ensuring new API calls with different parameters are categorized under the same path.

A detailed traffic view with the new 'Consumer Tag' feature

Troubleshooting becomes so much easier with 'Consumer Tag'. This feature allows you to add a custom header to HTTP requests, enhancing visibility and control within the Lunar Control Plane. When a request includes the x-lunar-consumer-tag header, Lunar.dev captures it for segmentation and filtering. This enables detailed traffic views per consumer and focused monitoring, making troubleshooting more efficient and effective.

Community Takes

Plus, we got some insights into today’s funding landscape, learning how to spot promising AI startups.
