What is June?
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
What is Plotly?
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
Plotly ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.86 on credential handling, reasoning transparency, personalization and now the reliability of the agent session engine itself. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.

June
7.5ANALYTICS
June's last visible push was a tight May 2025 B2B sprint — Custom Objects, SQL traits, PostHog integration.
◆ Current state
June is product analytics for B2B SaaS, and the only visible release activity in the input is a concentrated four-week sprint in May 2025: SQL computed traits, PostHog as a data source, increased computed-trait limits, and the GA of Custom Objects after a two-month rollout. Each release is paired with small fixes (Slack alerts, HubSpot reverse sync) suggesting a stable maintenance cadence around the headline launches.
◆ Where it's heading
The May 2025 batch is internally consistent: every release widens what June can model (Custom Objects), how flexibly customers can compute on it (SQL traits), or how easily it slots into existing data plumbing (PostHog source). All three target the B2B-SaaS persona that wants more than user/account analytics. After this burst the changelog goes quiet in the input — it's not clear from the entries alone whether the product moved to a slower cadence, switched publishing channels, or paused.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about what comes next. If publishing resumes from the same direction, the obvious extensions are deeper integrations with reverse-ETL or warehouse-native sources and richer pre-built health-score templates on top of SQL computed traits.
Plotly
6.3ANALYTICS
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
◆ Current state
Plotly ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.86 on credential handling, reasoning transparency, personalization and now the reliability of the agent session engine itself. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.
◆ Where it's heading
The Cloud releases are assembling the standard pieces of a hosting business in order — identity first (domain verification, explicitly framed as the step before SSO), then billing (viewer seats, then metered compute credits), and now production-grade serving (custom domains, automatic certificate renewal). Studio is being hardened as the authoring front end that feeds it: Universal Deployment pushed beyond Dash apps, credentials saved once and reused, a Winget channel to widen Windows installs, and in v0.0.86 a rebuilt session engine plus automatic retries so agent runs survive expired tokens. The two tracks converge on one funnel — author in Studio, deploy to Cloud, pay by compute consumed.
◆ Prediction
The Domain Verification entry names SSO as the next step and places it in the Enterprise tier, so single sign-on is the most likely Cloud release next. Studio should hold its one-to-two-week cadence, with the newly added app thumbnails pointing toward more work on browsing and organizing generated apps.
