What's new in Solarflare

Public releases, API additions, and platform updates. The first entries below land alongside the v1 public launch.

  1. Public launch

    • Solarflare API graduates from invite-only to publicly available evaluation, Pro, and Enterprise tiers.
    • Public docs preview, self-serve sample-data requests, and predictable per-month pricing.
    • All v0.x customers automatically migrated to v1 endpoints — no breaking changes.

  2. Production cutover complete

    • Primary serving infrastructure migrated to a redundant multi-region footprint.
    • API endpoints now back the 99.95% Enterprise uptime target.
    • Bearer token rotation procedure documented for security-sensitive customers.

  3. 24-hour production soak passes

    • Completed a 24-hour continuous-load run against production hardware — coverage, latency, and signal stability all hit targets.
    • Dual-source observation pipeline validated end-to-end under sustained traffic.
    • Internal milestone gating the v1.0 public launch.

  4. Dual-region failover for Enterprise

    • Enterprise customers can now opt into a dual-region API deployment with automatic failover.
    • Backs the 99.95% uptime SLA.
    • Region selection (US / EU) configurable per contract.

  5. Self-serve billing for Pro

    • Pro customers can now manage subscriptions, invoices, and seats directly from the dashboard.
    • Stripe-backed monthly billing; receipts and reverse-charge VAT supported.
    • Manual invoicing remains available for Enterprise contracts.

  6. Confidence scoring rebalanced

    • Confidence thresholds re-tuned using six months of production telemetry to lower false-positive rates on borderline residential IPs.
    • High-confidence signals remain backward-compatible — recommendations for hard blocks are unchanged.
    • Low-confidence now correlates more cleanly with step-up verification use cases.

  7. Webhook callbacks for bulk jobs

    • POST /v1/jobs now accepts a callback URL; we POST a signed job.completed payload when the enriched output is ready.
    • Replaces polling for completion in most integrations.
    • HMAC signature verification documented; replay window is 5 minutes.

  8. Bulk IP analysis (private preview)

    • New POST /v1/jobs endpoint accepts CSV or JSONL inputs with up to several million IPs per batch.
    • Async job model returns aggregate breakdowns plus per-IP enriched output.
    • Private preview behind a feature flag for Pro tier customers.

  9. API key management

    • Create, name, rotate, and revoke API keys directly in the customer dashboard.
    • Per-key usage attribution lands in the analytics panel.
    • Replaces the manual key-issuance workflow used during closed beta.

  10. Customer dashboard, first version

    • Initial dashboard with usage analytics, recent lookups, and per-environment quotas.
    • Daily and rolling-7-day usage charts.
    • Replaces the previous email-only usage-report channel.

  11. Sub-200 ms median lookup

    • P50 latency for single-IP lookup dropped from 312 ms to 142 ms after a serving-path rewrite.
    • P95 cut roughly in half over the previous quarter.
    • Bulk endpoint throughput more than tripled.

  12. Coverage expansion

    • Major expansion in observed residential proxy infrastructure across North America, Europe, and Asia.
    • Network-type classification accuracy improved on mobile and datacenter signals.
    • Backfills applied to historical records so last_seen reflects the new coverage where applicable.

  13. Last-seen timestamps on every record

    • Every API response now includes an ISO-8601 last_seen timestamp.
    • Risk models can now decay older signals automatically.
    • Distinguishes hot, warm, and historical observations at the row level.

  14. Confidence scoring

    • Introduces low / medium / high confidence levels on every lookup response.
    • Reflects observation density, recency, and behavioural-pattern matching.
    • Designed to plug directly into existing fraud-rule thresholds without bespoke probabilistic modelling.

  15. Closed beta opens

    • Closed-beta customer program opens to selected fraud, bot-detection, and threat-intel teams.
    • Bearer-token auth on every endpoint; sample data made available on request.
    • First external use cases now in production-adjacent evaluation.

  16. Network-type classification

    • Lookup response gains a network_type field distinguishing residential, mobile, datacenter, and VPN-style observations.
    • Helps downstream rules separate human-operated residential abuse from automation hosted in datacenters.

  17. Daily refresh cadence locked in

    • Observation pipeline now refreshes daily with deterministic ingest windows.
    • Establishes the baseline last-seen semantics that later versions build on.
    • Internal — no API contract changes.

  18. Internal alpha

    • First running version of the Solarflare lookup API, against a small internal corpus of observed proxy IPs.
    • Single GET endpoint, boolean observed_proxy response, fixed refresh interval.
    • Pre-product, no external customers.
