What is FullStory?

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

What is Depot?

Depot turns its build-acceleration compute into a metered backend for AI agents.

Depot is shipping fast across two fronts: hardening its CI platform and opening its compute to AI workloads. Recent CI work includes native step retries, durable cache disks, and a generally available API and CLI with full dashboard parity. On the AI front it added SOCI v2 to cut startup time for large CUDA and PyTorch images and launched a Sandbox SDK to run untrusted or agent-generated code in ephemeral, billed sandboxes.

FullStory's release feed is empty — no usable signal in the changelog stream.

◆ Current state

The only captured entry is navigation chrome ('Follow us') with no release content. This means our scraper isn't finding FullStory's actual changelog or that releases aren't being published in a machine-readable form on the public surface we monitor.

◆ Where it's heading

Trajectory cannot be assessed from the available data. The scraper either needs a different source URL or FullStory has shifted release communication elsewhere (in-product, customer portal, or blog-only).

◆ Prediction

Until a new source is wired in, no prediction is possible. Worth flagging this product for source-discovery work rather than commentary.

Depot turns its build-acceleration compute into a metered backend for AI agents.

◆ Current state

Depot is shipping fast across two fronts: hardening its CI platform and opening its compute to AI workloads. Recent CI work includes native step retries, durable cache disks, and a generally available API and CLI with full dashboard parity. On the AI front it added SOCI v2 to cut startup time for large CUDA and PyTorch images and launched a Sandbox SDK to run untrusted or agent-generated code in ephemeral, billed sandboxes.

◆ Where it's heading

Depot is extending from build and CI acceleration toward being a general compute backend for agents. The Sandbox SDK, the agent-friendly GA API, and ML-image startup optimizations point the same way: sell fast, isolated, metered compute that AI tools and pipelines can drive programmatically. The CI improvements keep the core product sticky while the platform broadens.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Sandbox SDK to move toward general availability with more language and filesystem surface, and continued convergence of CI and sandbox compute under one metered, API-first platform.
