Port product updates - December 2024

As we say goodbye to 2024, we’re excited to share updates that enhance how you connect, collaborate, and create within Port. This month’s improvements focus on simplifying workflows, strengthening integrations, and introducing smarter tools to help you achieve more with less effort.

From seamless OAuth authentication to robust integration enhancements, our goal is to ensure Port works harder for you, so you can focus on what matters most—delivering value and driving results. Let’s explore the latest updates and how they’re designed to empower your success.

With OAuth authentication now available for Gitlab, Jira, PagerDuty, and Datadog, connecting these services to Port is as simple as a few clicks. Not only is it faster to set up, but it’s also significantly more secure.

Imagine you’re setting up your environment. Instead of hunting down API tokens and manually syncing data, OAuth lets you connect your services in seconds. Your data starts syncing immediately, giving you more time to focus on critical tasks while keeping your connections secure.

: We’re working on expanding OAuth support to even more tools, so stay tuned for what’s next!

Ocean SaaS, or “Hosted by Port” integrations, has officially graduated from beta to general availability. This means a more reliable and stable experience for hosted integrations, allowing you to sync data confidently without interruptions.

For instance, as an administrator managing these integrations, you can now rely on Ocean SaaS to handle critical workflows with ease, knowing the platform is stable and production-ready.

Mirror properties now display titles as clickable links, making it easier to trace data back to the source blueprint.

For example, if you’re reviewing dependencies in your catalog, you can click on a mirror property title to instantly see its origin blueprint.

We’ve made integration troubleshooting simpler by handling dependencies better, surfacing mapping errors, and providing clearer log messages.

If an integration sync fails, you’ll now have the insights to fix it fast. Whether it’s a missing dependency or a mapping issue, the enhanced error logs guide you through resolution—so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time building.

Building custom Ocean integrations is now faster and more intuitive. With a new streamlined guide and updated CLI commands, you can deploy custom solutions with ease.
