Katapult UI upgrades - out with the old, in with the new

We created Katapult to deliver truly exceptional cloud performance - ultra reliable, able to recover from hardware failures quickly and as sustainable as possible. We also built it to be intuitive and easy to use, with a User Interface (UI) that works in the way you need and expect.

As we’ve been working to refine Katapult’s UI, we’ve been paying close attention to your feedback, incorporating it into our planning and design. Our latest UI update represents a significant leap forward in usability, accessibility, and overall look and feel. It’s not just about making things look pretty — we’ve reassembled it from the bottom up to make it work faster and smarter, so you can get more done with less hassle.

Key features

One-page VM launcher: speed and simplicity

With our simple and powerful one-page VM launcher, you can now spin up a new virtual machine in just two clicks—transforming a once cumbersome process into a seamless experience. The new launcher is designed to save you time and reduce the complexity of your workflow. Fewer clicks, more coffee breaks.

Simplified navigation

We know that navigating a complex platform can be challenging. The new UI has been designed with the user in mind from the beginning, making it more accessible, readable, and responsive. We’ve decluttered the interface and streamlined the layout, so you can find what you need quickly and get back to focusing on what really matters – managing your infrastructure.

Designed for mobile

Bring the full power of cloud management to your fingertips—wherever you are. Whether you need to restart a virtual machine during your morning commute or adjust your resources on the fly, our new mobile-friendly design ensures you’re never more than a few taps away from taking control.

Looking ahead: what’s next?

We’re dedicated to continuous improvement, ensuring Katapult evolves with your needs and remains a tool that you can rely on as your business grows. We’re already hard at work on the next set of updates, including clearer pricing displays.

Transparency is key – we believe you should always know what you’re paying for. That’s why you’ll soon be able to clearly identify areas where deploying resources incurs costs, making it easier for you to manage your budget and avoid surprises.

A platform designed for you

The new UI is more than just an update–it’s a reflection of our ongoing commitment to you, our valued clients. We’ve built this update on a foundation of leading-edge technologies like Turbo and Stimulus, making interactions smoother and the overall experience more responsive.
