Paris is Released!!

It is that time of the year, new release Early Availability(EA) time. Each EA period is a flurry of activity in the Developer Program. Blogs, Videos, Demos, Slide decks Oh MY! I am always delighted to share and highlight what is new for developers. Below you will find some of those highlights for developers in Paris. Over the next month or so, you can expect a steady release of deeper dives into the details.

Paris Instances

To get your hands on a Paris instance, you have a few options:

  1. If you already have an instance

    You can upgrade it. From the Developer Portal, click Manage > Instance in the navigation bar. From there, click the Action dropdown and click Upgrade to Paris.

    Upgrade to paris

  2. If you don’t have an instance

    From the Your Instance widget on the home page, click Request an Instance.

    Request an Instance: paris

    This will open a dialog that allows you to select the version you want. Select Paris.

    Occasionally, we temporarily exhaust the pool of available instances for a release family. New functionality on the Developer Portal will allow you to add yourself to the waitlist. When instances become available, you will automatically get assigned one and notify you when that happens.

  3. Already have an instance but want to start fresh?

    You must first release your existing instance by using the Your Instance widget, click Action > Release instance.

    Release Instance

    After confirming that you want to release your instance (back up anything you want to keep!), you will have to wait 15 minutes before requesting a new one. After the waiting period is over, follow the steps outlined above to get your new Paris instance.
