The Curious Case of latest.speckle.systems: A Playground, Not a Lifeboat 🚀

Hey @Insiders ,

As many of you know, latest.speckle.systems has always been our development server—a playground for testing and experimenting with new features. During the closed public beta of Speckle Automate, it became a hub for many brave souls who joined us in exploring the future of automation workflows.

To refocus the server on its core purpose, we’ve recently archived a large number of accounts and returned access to an invitation-only basis. This ensures the server remains lightweight, experimental, and unencumbered by unintended reliance. Please remember: data on latest.speckle.systems are not guaranteed to be long-lived, and the server is not designed for production use.

A Word of Caution

We’ve long reserved the right to light a match and walk away from this testing server at any time. While we don’t believe this latest action will cause any absolute emergencies, if you feel otherwise, please get in touch. We will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis—but no promises can be made regarding data recovery or migration.

Thank You

A huge thank you to all the brave experimenters who joined us on this journey—your contributions have been invaluable in shaping the future of Speckle. We encourage you to use Workspace projects on the ever-reliable app.speckle.systems for production workflows built for reliability, security and long-term use.

As always, happy Speckling! :blush:

Cheers,
The Speckle Team

I got an eMail some time (4+ weeks ago) ago that I do no more have access to latest.speckle.systems and my beta account.
Not a big issue, just testing uploads, not much to test for me with my software repertoire supported lately)

I tried to log in for fun but it still worked. And so every other day I logged in just to see if still really works, for 4 weeks :slight_smile:
Until today - since it shows the test project and says “successfully authenticated …” but I see that I finally cannot really login at a second try (authentication failed).
So I am pleased that the announced state finally materialized today.
