2021-07-29 12:41:25 How we organized support process in flespi

High-quality support is one of the core values of the flespi platform. So is the development of complex solutions for developers. The principle of staying small stimulates us to optimize processes rather than solve problems with new people or more money.

In the new article we are sharing our experience of reorganizing our support process to maintain the traditionally high level of service at a larger scale while also increasing the performance on strategic tasks.

2021-07-22 12:08:51 Flespi network status: checking platform availability from multiple locations

It’s not always downtime that results in the flespi platform unavailability. Network issues are another probable reason for broken communication between your solution and the flespi platform.

Now we have a special page to easily check if any network problems occurred along the path from your application.

Learn more (a lot more) details on how we test the platform availability and when you personally may find it useful:

2021-07-08 12:22:30 MQTT Tiles use cases: effective dashboards for versatile applications

Flespi does not usually deal on the user-facing side. But there are exceptions.

There's no sense in competing with the Tableaus of the world, so we decided to offer a handy tool for MQTT-based data visualization.

To give you a better understanding of what our MQTT Tiles tool can apply to, we put together a set of real-life examples illustrating the versatility and flexibility of the solution.

Check all the use-cases here:
