First Release!
Hubway is launched and its first release is Alpha and Beta tested by a group of keen individuals that were keen to share their insights as early adopters.
The key features include:
Project's creation and management (Builder App)
OData runtime APIs
1-click deployment
Runtime API auditing
API modes (read / write)
Entities diagram
API versioning
Builder's authentication through Single Sign-on
Basic authentication in runtime
Early adopters spoke and we listened. A significant addition of new functionalities and improvements coming from Beta testing with some of our first users.
API authorization configurable at user groups level
Self-service support - FAQ, contact us, provide feedback (CSAT)
Decommission API versions from the Builder
Enforce (throttling) a limit to the result set in the output of the APIs

Time to harden our processes. A comprehensive set of automated tests was created in order to guarantee the quality on every release. Besides, more functionalities off early adopters' feedback were incorporated.
A new functionality, Custom Entities, was shaped and its first design (Beta) incorporated to the roadmap for the next major release
