Try things out without touching your production data. Every organization now gets a Test Mode sandbox, an isolated environment that mirrors your live project, with its own API key and complete separation from your real project.

Features:

• One sandbox per org, toggled from the sidebar. The toggle finds-or-creates your sandbox and drops you into a mirror of whichever live project you were in.

• Distinct sandbox keys prefixed with lat_sandbox_ so you can tell them apart at a glance.

• 7-day span retention on sandbox traces, this is separate from live-org retention.

• Lower rate limits and a per-period span quota scoped to sandboxes making it safe to play around with.

• Automatic archival of idle sandboxes via a daily clean-up, with a clear "Activate" button to bring archived ones back.

Sandboxes are great for developing locally, testing instrumentation changes or onboarding a teammate without muddling production.

Issues

The issue drawer is now a full page that shows you everything you could possibly want to know about an issue.

The new Issue view includes:

• Lifetime impact metrics: occurrences, affected traces/sessions and cost impact.

• Assignee and priority fields so you can delegate and highlight importance like you would in any real issue tracker.

• Patterns and matching traces at your fingertips, so you're never more than a scroll away from real traces that match.

Issues deserve the room to be properly investigated, now they have a California king.
