Rome EA is here!

We here at the developer program are excited to announce the Rome Release is now available on personal developer instances! Instructions for upgrading your instance are at the bottom of this post.

We’ve been hard at work getting up to speed on the Rome release so we can bring you, the ServiceNow developer, admin, or curious individual, lots of content. We’re going to be highlighting many of the new products and features we think someone building apps with App Engine needs to know about.

Rome Overview Content

First, join Chuck Tomasi and Adam Stout, Director of Product Management, as they discuss the hottest platform features for developers.

Then, on Tuesday, 7⁄27, join us for TechNow Ep 88 where Chuck and the team will give you a summary of the new platform features in Rome you should care about as a developer. Register now!

Rome Features

Here is a list of the Rome features for developers that you can play with in your personal developer instance, and the blog, video, and podcast content we’ve created to help you learn more about them:

App Engine Studio

Mobile

UI Builder and Now Experience

Automated Test Framework and Instance Scan

Flow Designer

Playbooks

IntegrationHub

Source Control and Delegated Development

If you already have an instance, but want to start fresh you first need to release your current instance (you will lose any development work) by choosing Manage > Release Instance in the Your Instance widget. You’ll need to wait 15 minutes and then you’ll be able to request a new instance from step 2.
