Change alerts run the moment a deploy finishes

Axiom has always looked for hand-made changes on a fifteen-minute timer. That is fine for something changed at two in the afternoon, and much less fine for something changed during a deploy window, when things are moving anyway and nobody is watching a dashboard.

From this release we also look the moment a deploy finishes. Axiom re-reads whatever changed and checks only the rules that apply to it.

What this changes

The gap between a change and the owner hearing about it drops from up to fifteen minutes to about four seconds. Nothing about the timer changes — it still runs, and still covers things no deploy has touched.

Turning it on

It is on by default. To go back to the timer alone, set watch.on_deploy = false in your settings.
