What we are building
SpiderDog is under active development. This public roadmap shows what we have shipped, what we are working on now, and what is coming next. We update it as features move from research to development to general availability. Have a suggestion? Let us know.
How we prioritize the roadmap
Every item on the roadmap is scored against three criteria: customer demand, strategic fit, and engineering effort. We ship quick wins that reduce friction first, then move on to larger differentiators. Security, reliability, and performance improvements are treated as ongoing priorities rather than roadmap items.
Completed phases are locked once all features reach production quality. In-progress items are actively being designed or built and usually appear in preview releases before they are marked complete. Planned items are validated concepts waiting for resources or dependencies.
If you are on a Pro plan and need a capability earlier than scheduled, contact support. Enterprise customers can sponsor prioritized development for items that align with our product direction.

Advanced automation & webhooks

Release cadence and versioning
SpiderDog ships minor improvements continuously as they pass QA. Larger roadmap items are bundled into named releases and announced on this page, in the changelog, and via email to active subscribers. We version releases by date and maintain backward compatibility for report exports and API endpoints whenever possible.
Preview features are rolled out to Pro plans first, then made available on the free plan once they are stable. Breaking changes receive at least thirty days notice, migration guides, and direct outreach to affected teams. Security patches are deployed out of band and communicated immediately.
Our public roadmap is reviewed at the start of each quarter. Items may move between phases as priorities shift, but completed phases remain available for reference so customers can see what has already been delivered.
