+
+## What to expect for the next quarter? 🤔
+
+We are slowly rolling out Real User Monitoring (RUM) to all users. If you want
+to be opted in in the beta program, send an email to
+[[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]).
+
+We are also working hard on improving our synthetic monitoring amd making it
+more reliable.
+
+We are also planing on making the platform more easily self hosted and remove
+most of the external services we rely on. We want to switch from Clerk to either
+NextAuth V5 or Lucia.
