We wrote this post when our metrics product was called Levitate, a name we used until the end of 2024. Last9 now supports metrics, logs, traces, and profiles, so we use one name: Last9.
Gateway improvements
Last9 continues to make innovations in making the ingestion Gateway layer as performant as possible.
Stability and Performance
- Most stable and performant Gateway ever yet. Backed by durable embedded queues.
- Improvements in handling streaming aggregation pipeline back pressure.

Samples Ingested per Cluster
Last9 displays the number of samples ingested in the past month and the current month. This will provide visibility into the ingestion patterns in a Last9 cluster across the last two months. With this release, all clusters will show this information on the Cluster’s Summary tab.
