We are thrilled to announce that on April 23, 2024, we will upgrade the New Relic PHP agent to the latest version (v10.19.0.9). This update is part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing your experience with Pantheon and ensuring that our offerings meet your evolving needs.
By staying up-to-date with the latest agent, you will benefit from improved performance and enhanced troubleshooting capabilities for your WordPress and Drupal instances. This means smoother experiences for your site visitors and more efficient workflows for you. This new version also fully supports PHP 8.3, providing you with the latest features and compatibility.
Learn More about New Relic®, real-time performance monitoring for your Pantheon web applications.
Action Required: Default behavior of New Relic Drupal Hooks is changing
After the release of this agent update, Pantheon will no longer support Drupal Hooks reporting by default. However, the functionality is still available. If this is crucial for troubleshooting your sites, please add these lines to your site’s pantheon.yml file to enable this reporting:
new_relic:
drupal_hooks: true
The parameter above will take effect when the New Relic PHP agent is updated for your site.
If your site currently reports Drupal Hooks information to New Relic, you will need to add the above line to your pantheon.yml file before the April 23 update to maintain this reporting moving forward.
Our support team is happy to help if you have any questions or need assistance.

We've updated our Terminus GitHub Action with the ability to share sessions across jobs to simplify and reduce the authentication overhead including any associated rate limiting when authenticating their machine token. These sessions are encrypted prior to being cached using industry standard AES-256 encryption, PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) algorithm, and increased iterations when deriving the encryption key. We've also updated to the latest versions of actions/checkout and actions/cache.
Some technical details:
The session data is encrypted using OpenSSL with AES-256 and PBKDF2 before being cached.
The session information is scoped to a workflow run, meaning re-running the same workflow will use existing cache (in case of a failure, etc) while new workflows create a new session.

The Pantheon Advanced Page Cache Module has received an update in the 2.2.0 release which resolves Issue #3337669 and provides some additional enhancements. Now, when any file is updated inside the Drupal File system, that file will have its edge cache cleared immediately and new content will be shown.
Some Technical Details:
The cache clearing is specifically triggered by any action which invokes the update file hook.
If the file is an image, all image styles will also have their edge cache entry cleared.

The Terminus Scheduled Jobs Plugin allows you to schedule and automate specific cron jobs according to site requirements without affecting performance.
You can specify the desired frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, hourly), and the actions to be performed. The system then executes the scheduled jobs automatically based on the provided instructions. Helps with long running jobs by granting a total budget of 300 mins (in a 24 hr period) to run jobs.

Pantheon customers can now re-run Integrated Composer builds via Terminus - without creating a new commit. Previously, pushing a new commit to the Dashboard was the only way to trigger a build.
