March 2026

Hyperlift Monitoring

We’ve introduced Hyperlift Monitoring, giving you real-time visibility into your application’s past and present resource usage directly from the Hyperlift dashboard.

You can now track performance metrics through clear, interactive graphs, helping you better understand how your app is performing and when it may be approaching plan limits.

You can find this new feature in Hyperlift Managerby clicking on Manage, then selecting Monitoring in the side panel menu.Hyperlift Monitoring allows you to track:

• CPU usage

• RAM usage

• Ephemeral disk usage

• Bandwidth consumption

By default, monitoring graphs load with a 1-hour time range, you can filter to view data from up to 14 days in the past.

All metrics are displayed in easy-to-read visual graphs to help you quickly assess performance trends.

Prepaid billing model

Hyperlift now supports a prepaid billing option, offering monthly, quarterly, and yearly billing cycles. This model provides an alternative to pay-as-you-go usage for teams working within fixed budgets or procurement processes.

The update enables more predictable cost management and creates additional flexibility for how Hyperlift is adopted across different project timelines. Prepaid plans also help streamline internal approvals by supporting upfront invoicing:

• Get predictable spending for projects requiring pre-approved budgets or upfront invoicing.

• Enjoy a 7-day free trial period to evaluate Hyperlift before committing to a plan.

• Align your billing cycles with different deployment or development schedules.
