Storybook Add-on, SOC 2, Unlimited Public Sandboxes and more

Hey hey 👋

Great to have you here for a fresh CodeSandbox changelog!

This month had a bit of everything in store for us and we had the chance to work on some really exciting projects.

Read all about them below!


What's new?

+-1

Storybook add-on 🧩

We're making every story come to life with the CodeSandbox Storybook add-on! After configuring the add-on on your Storybook instance, you will see a button to open that story in a Sandbox, which is great for design system teams and sharing bug repros.

CodeSandbox is now SOC 2 compliant ✅

Unlimited public Sandboxes 🚀

After countless chats with our users, we decided to update our Free plan so it now includes unlimited public Sandboxes, 5 private Sandboxes and private npm.

+-3

Manual VM hibernation 🧊

We have added an option to manually hibernate a VM from the editor's menu. This may be useful in cases where you want to immediatelly stop VM runtime.

VM credit spend meter 🧮

We have added a UI element to the bottom left of the dashboard that displays VM credit expenditure in reference to the allocated quota. This makes it easier to monitor your spending.

Public VM templates for free

We have updated the logic of our public templates running in VMs so that their runtime is not billed to the workspace that created the template. This way, we're empowering everyone to create and share powerful templates with the community at no extra cost.
