Changelog #005

Follow along on Twitter for detailed updates and improvements made to Banana.

100% Self-Serve Sign Up

We're stoked about this one. As engineers ourselves, we think it's super annoying when you sign up for a product and are forced to book a sales call or get blocked in onboarding waiting for the company to give access. That's not our style here at Banana - so we prioritized making a change. Welcome to fully self-serve onboarding.

Previously, you could sign up for Banana and get about 95% of the way to deployment in a self-serve fashion, it was only at the end of your onboarding setup where you needed to email our team to finish up and get deployed.

Now, deploying on Banana looks something like this.

1. Build off our serverless template GitHub repo
2. Install Banana GitHub App to your repo
3. Create/Login to your Banana account to setup payment and link your GitHub
4. Deploy to Production

That's pretty freaking smooth. 🍌

Billing Management Portal

In worth mentioning that in making our deployment process fully self-serve, we also improved our payments system and transparency. Once you have your payment method linked in your Banana account with Stripe you can hop in there and see your billing history and manage your billing.
