danube CLI 1.6: Static Site Deploys That Work End to End
Deploying a static site from CI or your terminal now works reliably, and the CLI tells you when a newer version is out.
DANUBE_SITE_ID now takes the site ID exactly as danube pages link prints it, so headless CI deploys work instead of failing with Not Found
Every pages command uses the project the site is linked to, whichever project you have selected
pages deploy waits for its own build and returns only once your site's address serves the new version, and rollbacks wait for the new revision too
pages domains ls, add and verify work again: add prints the TXT record and the CNAME target, and verify waits for the result
With --json, a failed pages deploy now reports success as false with an error code
Every interactive run tells you when a newer version is available; update with danube upgrade

No More False Alarms on the Status Page
The status page no longer turns yellow when a single health check goes missing, and says so plainly when monitoring itself falls behind.
A single lost health check no longer puts up Some Systems Experiencing Issues on the status page
If health checks really stop reporting, the page shows Monitoring Status Unknown in grey instead of a degradation that is not happening
The console header does the same, showing Unknown with Health checks have not reported recently instead of On course
The monitoring fault behind the brief false banners of the past week is fixed
bugfixAPI
September 25, 2026
API Examples Now Use the Right Address
Some API examples in our docs and the console pointed at an address that does not serve the API, so copied requests failed; they now use https://danubedata.ro/api/v1, and several paths are corrected.
The static site Deploy from the command line drawer and the Static Sites, Cache, Database, Rapids and VPS snapshot guides now call https://danubedata.ro/api/v1, the address the CLI and the API reference already use
VPS snapshot examples use the real endpoints under /api/v1/snapshots/vps, and the retention script walks every page and compares dates correctly
Object Storage examples now create an access key limited to the bucket it is for; if you created a key from the old example, check its scope under Security, because it could reach every bucket
Bucket CORS and settings examples use PUT with the request shape the API accepts

Static Site Rollbacks Show the Commit They Restored
After you roll a Git-backed site back, its deployment history names the commit it is actually serving.
A rollback records the restored revision's commit, message, author and branch, instead of the newest build's
Changing a site setting after a rollback keeps showing the restored commit
This applies to rollbacks from both the dashboard and the API

Rapids API Rejects Environment Variables Sent as a List
Sending a Rapids container's environment variables as a list of KEY=VALUE strings is now refused up front, instead of being accepted and then failing every rollout.
Creating or updating a container with environment_variables as a JSON list of KEY=VALUE strings now returns 422 with a message asking for name and value pairs; it used to return 200, and every later rollout then failed
Each variable name may use only letters, digits, underscores, hyphens and dots, or the request returns 422 for that variable; reserved names and the 100 KB limit are unchanged
A container that already stored its variables as a list now fails its deploy with a message asking you to save them again as name and value pairs
A change that fails partway is now discarded completely, so it can no longer reach your running container later and take it down

Fixes Found While Rebuilding the Console
Rebuilding these pages turned up bugs that could act on the wrong item or leave you without an answer, and they are now fixed.
In a bucket's file browser, a confirmed delete always removes the file you confirmed, and tags are saved to the file you are editing
Teams with more than 20 registry repositories can page through all of them, and deleting an image clears every tag that pointed at it from the list straight away
Success and refusal messages now appear on the Registry, Uptime, Managed Apps and Static Sites pages, where a refused action used to fail silently
An uptime check's page refreshes the check itself, so a check that went down no longer reads Up beside a chart of failures
Automated snapshots chosen when you create a cache now take effect; if you created a cache with them switched on before 20 September, check its snapshot setting
In the parameter group editor, copying a value or removing a row no longer saves the group, and renaming a parameter onto an existing one is refused instead of overwriting it
Setting up billing for the first time now continues to adding a card once your billing details are saved
improvementPlatform
September 25, 2026
Drawers, Shareable Links and Full-List Search Across the Console
Most console pages now work the same way: items open beside their list without losing your place, every view has a link you can share, and search covers the whole list.
Invoices, API tokens, access keys, registry images, bucket files, volumes, static site revisions and custom domains open in a side drawer with its own address, so back, bookmarks and shared links return to that exact item
An invoice link in our emails opens that invoice ready to pay
Search and status filters on buckets, managed apps, static sites and registry repositories cover every page of the list, not just the rows on screen, and the Logs page keeps its filters in the address
A bucket file opens with its preview, share link, tags and versions in one place, and a Connect drawer gives ready-to-run examples for the command line, Python, JavaScript, PHP and Go
The uptime check form offers HEAD requests and a certificate expiry warning a chosen number of days ahead, and check pages refresh every minute with a bar per day for the last 90 days
Creating a cache, database, queue or managed app is one guided page with an itemised price in view, including each replica or standby, and edit pages end in a bar that says what saving will do, such as a restart
Plan pickers work from the keyboard, text and controls meet contrast requirements in light and dark mode, and menus, charts and long names fit screens down to 360 px wide

Database, Cache and Queue Firewalls Now Apply Inside Your Team
The inbound rules on a managed database, cache or queue now decide, port by port, which of your own resources can connect over the private network, not just who reaches the public endpoint.
A port with an allow rule that has no sources, or one from 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0, stays open to your whole team
A port whose allow rules all list sources accepts only what they pick: Rapids containers and their runs, VPS instances, private networks, managed apps, and other databases, caches or queues
A port that no allow rule covers is now closed to your own resources too, as on the public endpoint, so add an allow rule for everything your team uses, such as a queue's management port
IP addresses never match your team's resources, so a rule that lists only addresses keeps the port closed inside your team; pick your apps under Sources as well
Rules with sources never cut off the instance's own replicas, connection proxies, metrics, backups or SQL Studio
Teams you have peered with reach only the ports open to your whole team
Managed apps can now be picked as sources, a deleted source stays on the rule marked deleted until you remove it, and rules created through the API keep their port and picked sources

Sign Out Your Other Sessions Without Losing Your Own
Signing out of your other sessions now keeps you signed in where you are, and a device you sign out stays signed out.
Sign out of all other sessions, under Profile, Sign-in and security, now keeps the browser you used signed in; before, it signed you out too
A device you sign out, whether one session or all the others, stays out, and Remember me can no longer sign it straight back in
Your other devices need a fresh sign-in once their current session ends, while the browser you acted from keeps Remember me
Sessions idle for longer than your session timeout no longer appear in the list

A Dashboard That Starts With What Needs Your Attention
The dashboard now opens on what needs your attention, what you have spent and what your team did recently, and every resource's status updates live.
A summary line tells you in words how your resources stand and whether anything needs attention, next to a Create menu for everything your team can set up
A Needs attention card lists each unhealthy resource with a link straight to it, plus a reminder when your billing details are missing
Headline figures show your resources, what needs attention, your spend so far this month and the month's projection compared with last month
Each service you use gets its own tile, and This month breaks your spend down by service, including any promotional credit you have left
Recent activity now fills in, showing who did what grouped by day, with links to each resource and to your full activity feed
Every resource appears as a chip, problems first, with filters that stay readable on a phone and statuses that change live
A new team gets a start page with three places to begin and their starting prices, plus a Get set up checklist

A Rebuilt Rapids Console With Live Traffic and Drawers
The container list and container page were rebuilt around what matters day to day: live traffic at a glance, builds and domains in drawers, and one form for create and edit.
Every row in the container list shows live replicas, requests, latency, errors and this month's cost, and search and the status filter cover all your containers, not only the page on screen
The list totals for containers, running replicas, requests a minute and this month's cost are now accurate; they used to read zero
Each container page opens with a summary of its address, what is serving, replicas and live traffic, including requests a minute, p95 latency and error rate, refreshed every few seconds
Builds open in a drawer with a live log that jumps to the first error, and domains open in a drawer showing each domain's state, the next step and its exact DNS records
Create and Edit share one single-page form: errors point to the section to fix, a save bar says whether saving rolls out, rebuilds or switches source, and an image entered as nginx:1.27 deploys that tag instead of latest
Average latency is now recorded for every usage window, so it no longer shows blank in the list and the API

September 24, 2026
Faster Rapids Builds, Plus an Optional Build Cache
Deploys start seconds after a build finishes, builds get more CPU headroom, and you can keep a build cache per container to speed up the next build.
A finished build now starts its deploy within seconds instead of waiting up to a minute
Builds get twice the CPU headroom, so toolchains that use every core, such as Next.js, finish sooner
Dockerfile builds now run on a new builder, with no change needed on your side
Turn on Keep the build cache for a container that builds from a Dockerfile to reuse its image layers and cache mounts, so later builds finish faster; the API field is build_cache_enabled
The cache only ever saves time: if it is not available the build runs without it, and a cache unused for 14 days is removed

Replica, Failover and Lifecycle Fixes for Managed Databases
Standbys, planned changes, deletions and several database pages now behave the way you would expect.
Planned changes to a PostgreSQL database with a standby now switch over to it instead of restarting the primary, including when the standby was added after creation
Adding a standby or read replica to a PostgreSQL or MariaDB database no longer stalls before the new server can start
Adding a replica, editing a database, saving its parameter group or expanding its storage no longer restarts an older PostgreSQL database as a side effect
The API's add and remove replica endpoints now actually scale managed PostgreSQL instead of answering success and changing nothing, and removing anything but the newest replica returns a clear error
A refused replica or scaling request shows its reason and the node list stays on screen, on database and cache pages
Turning on public access updates the host, port and connection string on the Connectivity tab without a reload, and a name that would clash with another engine's database in the same project is refused up front instead of getting stuck provisioning
Deleting a database no longer flips it to Error, with a notification to your team, before the deletion completes
bugfixManaged Apps
September 23, 2026
Managed n8n Handles Large Files Without Crashing Its Database
A large file in a workflow now fails only the execution that handled it, instead of running your n8n database out of memory.
The files your workflows store are capped at a size your plan's database can safely hold, and an oversized file fails its own execution with n8n's file-too-large error instead of crashing the database
The cap grows with your plan's database, so larger plans can store larger files
n8n and its workers get a memory heap sized to their container, instead of topping out at about a quarter of it
This applies to every managed n8n instance automatically

Require TLS on Managed PostgreSQL and Choose Your TLS Floor
Refuse unencrypted connections to a PostgreSQL database with one switch, and decide whether older clients may still connect with TLS 1.2.
Turn on Require TLS in the database's Connectivity tab and connections without TLS are refused
It applies within about a minute while the database keeps running; set sslmode=require on every client before you switch it on
It is off by default, so nothing changes until you turn it on, and you can turn it off again at any time
Managed PostgreSQL requires TLS 1.3 by default; set ssl_min_protocol_version to TLSv1.2 in the Parameters tab or a parameter group for clients that cannot negotiate TLS 1.3, such as Prisma on macOS and Windows
The TLS floor applies with a configuration reload, without a restart

What New MySQL Databases Expect From Your Tables
New MySQL databases replicate every write, even on a single server, so they add a hidden primary key to tables without one, refuse storage engines that cannot be replicated and cap how much one transaction can change.
A table created without a primary key gets an invisible my_row_id key that SELECT * and your application never see, and one ALTER TABLE swaps it for your own key
Creating a MyISAM, BLACKHOLE, FEDERATED or ARCHIVE table fails with error 3161; leave out the ENGINE clause or use InnoDB
Before you import a dump, convert its MyISAM tables to InnoDB at the source, or the import stops at their CREATE TABLE
Temporary MEMORY tables work, but writes to a permanent MEMORY table fail with error 3098, so keep permanent tables on InnoDB
One transaction's changes are capped at 2.5% of the plan's memory, between 16 MB and 150 MB; a bigger one is rolled back with error 3100, so split large imports, updates and deletes into batches
Restoring a backup fixes such tables in the new copy: other engines become InnoDB and tables without a key get the invisible one
Only new MySQL databases work this way; databases you created earlier keep their current behaviour
featureDatabases
September 23, 2026
MySQL Gains High Availability, Read Replicas and Daily Backups
New MySQL databases can run as a high-availability group with automatic failover you switch on or off at any time, add read replicas, and keep daily backups you restore into a new database.
Choose a single server or a high-availability group of three servers on separate hosts; if the primary fails, a standby takes over and the writer endpoint follows it automatically
Turn high availability on or off later from the Nodes tab or the API without recreating the database; your data and read replicas stay as they are, and each standby is billed at the same rate as the primary
Add up to 5 read replicas by default, with or without high availability, behind a private reader endpoint that never sends reads to the primary; the Nodes tab and the API show each replica's status and lag
Automated backups run daily and are kept for 30 days unless your backup policy says otherwise; take a manual backup any time and restore any backup into a new database with your own accounts and grants
Change the plan with the servers restarting one at a time, grow storage online or with storage autoscaling, stop and start, and change timeouts and slow-query logging live from the Parameters tab
Pick MySQL 8.4 LTS, the default, or 9.7 when you create the database; firewalls, metrics and logs work as they do for your other databases
MySQL databases created before 23 September keep their current setup

Rapids Fixes: Custom Domains, Rollbacks and Auto-Build
Custom domains no longer hold up your deploys, routing traffic back to an earlier revision really moves it, and turning auto-build off really stops push builds.
A custom domain whose certificate is still being issued no longer blocks every later deploy of its container
A domain shows as set up only once it really exists; while a change is being applied it stays pending and finishes on its own
One inconsistent DNS answer no longer fails a domain, a failed domain is retried automatically after 15 minutes, and removing a domain after deleting its DNS record no longer leaves its certificate cleanup stuck
Route traffic here on an earlier revision now really sends all traffic to it without a rebuild, and the console shows it as current only once the switch has happened
With Auto-build on push turned off, pushes to your branch no longer start builds; manual and API builds still work
Status badges read Building, Deploying and Degraded instead of a generic Pending, and pressing Enter in an early field of the create form no longer submits it

Tune Engine Settings From a New Parameters Tab
Change supported settings on a single database, cache or queue from its own page, live where the engine allows it, and PostgreSQL parameter group changes now reach running databases when you save them.
A Parameters tab on PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB databases, Redis, Valkey and Dragonfly caches and RabbitMQ queues shows the group in use, its saved values and the settings you can change
Settings the engine can reload apply to the running instance without a restart; where a setting needs one, you confirm a separate restart first
Each save creates a parameter group for that instance only, so other instances on the same group keep their settings
Saving a PostgreSQL parameter group applies it to every running database that uses it when all changed settings can reload, touching only those settings; otherwise the save lists what waits for each database's next update
PostgreSQL groups list what can be set, what applies without a restart and what the platform manages, and a misspelled setting name is refused with a suggestion
PostgreSQL groups accept archive_timeout from 60 seconds to 1 hour, and write-ahead log settings are checked against their allowed ranges when you save
Supported RabbitMQ settings in a queue's parameter group now take effect, and the database Edit page tells you when switching groups keeps the database running

Rapids Runs: One-Off and Scheduled Jobs From Your Container's Image
Run your Rapids container's image exactly once, on demand or on a cron schedule, for a migration, backfill or maintenance script, without touching the replicas that serve your traffic.
Start a run from the new Runs tab on your container's page, from the API or with the danube CLI; it uses your container's image and environment, and you can add per-run environment variables, choose an image tag and set a timeout of up to an hour
Only one run is active per container at a time, apart from the replicas serving traffic, so a migration never runs twice or concurrently
Schedule runs with a standard cron expression in your own timezone; a run that comes due while the previous one is still going is skipped and recorded, not stacked
Follow a run's log live in a drawer, and read the last lines of its output for 10 days after it finishes
The Command field splits arguments the way a shell does, so a quoted argument stays in one piece, and leaving it empty asks you to confirm before the image's own startup command runs
A run is billed like one of your container's replicas, at the same vCPU-second and GiB-second rates with the same monthly free tier, from the moment it starts until it exits, with no separate run charge
Get a webhook when a run succeeds or fails, and call your own container from a run through its internal URL

Live Load and Node Rows on the Cache, Queue and VPS Lists
The cache, queue and VPS lists now show the load behind every instance at a glance, and cache and queue clusters get a row per node, as the database list already does.
Cache and queue lists show each instance followed by a row for each node and its role, with open health alerts marked on the cluster row
Cache and queue rows show live CPU, memory and connected clients or queued messages, and VPS rows show live CPU and, where the VM reports it, memory
Every figure refreshes every 30 seconds while the page is open, comes from the same measurements as the instance's own charts, and memory shows what it is measured against, for example 14 MB of 384 MB
Collapse one instance's nodes or hide them all, sort by any sortable column and find an instance by one of its node names
If live figures cannot be read, the list still loads straight away and says so
A new Redis or Dragonfly cache shows Running, and sends its ready email, only once it is actually up, and its status changes on screen without a reload

A Rebuilt Create VPS Page With the Price Always in View
Creating a VPS is now one guided page: choices in the order you make them, a summary with the price that follows you, and errors that take you straight to the problem.
Choose the image, plan, location and network, access and options, then the name, which is pre-filled and explains its rules
A summary follows you down the page with every choice, a link back to each, the monthly price and why an order cannot be placed yet; on smaller screens a bottom bar carries the price and the order button
Plans show vCPUs, RAM, disk and price on any screen, down to a phone
Problems are summarised by section and the first field at fault gets focus, including errors returned by the server
Automated snapshots switched on while creating a VPS are now saved; if you created a VPS with them switched on before 20 September, check its snapshot setting
A failed price quote no longer shows €0.0000/hour, and Add payment method opens the payment dialog

Database Backups: Accurate Status, Clearer Labels, Safer Upgrades
The Backups tab now reports PostgreSQL and MariaDB backups truthfully, and a database that reuses a deleted database's name backs up normally.
The daily backups switch on PostgreSQL and MariaDB databases now reads Active when nightly backups run; it could say Inactive while backups were being taken
PostgreSQL and MariaDB recovery points are labelled Object storage, because they are stored in object storage separate from the database server, instead of Local only
A database created with the name of one you deleted now backs up normally, because every new PostgreSQL and MariaDB database gets its own backup location
A database engine upgrade now waits for a completed backup before it changes anything, and a PostgreSQL upgrade is reported done only after a fresh backup of the new version succeeds

Images Your Rapids Containers Run Can't Be Deleted by Accident
Deleting an image one of your Rapids containers is deployed from is now refused, so a cleanup script can no longer take a live site down.
Deleting a tag, a batch of tags or a whole repository is refused while a Rapids container is deployed from it, in the dashboard, the API and the CLI, and the refusal names the container
Other tags that point at the same image are protected too
To delete it anyway, pass force=true to the API or --delete-in-use to the CLI (1.2.1 or later)
Automatic retention never removes an image a container runs, and does not count it toward your keep-last limit
If a running container's image cannot be pulled, the container is marked Degraded and your team is emailed straight away

Rapids Updates Always Land, and Startup Work Runs Once
Changes sent during a rollout are never dropped, a rollout only counts as done once its own revision is ready, and two new settings stop startup work such as migrations from running twice.
An update sent while a rollout is still running is queued and applied next instead of being silently dropped, and several quick changes roll out together
Your change reads as queued until its rollout starts, and a rollout counts as finished only once its own new revision is ready, so danube rapids update --wait (CLI 1.3.0 or later) returns only when your change is live
A rollout whose new revision never appears now fails after 20 minutes with a clear message instead of staying in Deploying
Retrying a rollout no longer creates an extra revision, so startup work does not run again
New Initial scale and Scale-down delay settings, under Resources and scaling in the Advanced section and in the API and CLI, let a container that migrates on boot avoid doing that work on two revisions at once
Deployment history no longer marks healthy older revisions as failed, and health alerts skip retired revisions and name the image you actually deployed

Rotate Managed PostgreSQL Passwords From the Dashboard or API
Replace the application or superuser password of a running managed PostgreSQL database in one step, from the database page or the API.
Rotate the application user's password from Connect to your database, or the postgres superuser password from Admin Credentials; each rotates on its own
Tick Disconnect existing sessions to close connections still using the old password; otherwise open connections stay up and new ones need the new password
The new password is shown once the database confirms it, and if it cannot be confirmed the rotation is marked failed and the previous password keeps working
Team owners and admins are emailed, and the rotation is recorded in the activity log
Rotate through the API with POST /api/v1/database/{id}/credentials/rotate, setting role to superuser for the postgres password
SQL Studio refuses a password change on these two platform-managed roles, which would otherwise be silently undone, and points you to Rotate password
SQL Studio no longer keeps passwords typed into the editor: they are redacted from your query history and saved snippets, including entries saved earlier

Edit and Deploy Firewall Rules Right From the Security Tab
Change a firewall without leaving your database, cache, VPS, queue or Rapids container: edit, save and deploy its rules from the Security tab.
Each attached firewall appears as a card showing whether its rules are applied, deploying or failed on this instance, with the error when a deployment fails
Edit rules inline, then Save to keep a draft or Save and deploy to push them to every instance the firewall protects
Attach an existing firewall, or create a new one already attached to this instance and deploy it in one step
Retry a failed deployment on just this instance from the card's menu, and watch the status update live
The Firewalls list, firewall page and create form are redesigned, and a delete that is blocked now tells you why
Editing a firewall no longer drops rules that have no port, and the Security tabs of queues and Rapids containers show their firewalls again

Firewall Rules Now Control Public Database, Cache and Queue Access
The inbound rules of the firewall on a managed database, cache or queue now decide who can connect through its public hostname, so you can limit public access to addresses you trust.
An allow rule from specific addresses limits public connections to those addresses, while an allow from 0.0.0.0/0 keeps the endpoint open to everyone
Write rules for the service's standard port, not the public port in your connection string: 5432 for PostgreSQL, 3306 for MySQL and MariaDB, 6379 for Redis, Valkey and Dragonfly, and 5672 for AMQP
Other queue protocols each need an allow rule for their own standard port: 1883 for MQTT, 8883 for MQTT over TLS, 5671 for AMQP over TLS, 61613 for STOMP and 61614 for STOMP over TLS
A deny rule wins over any allow, and a public endpoint that no allow rule covers rejects every connection
Clients running on DanubeData should use the private hostname: on a restricted endpoint, their connections through the public hostname are refused
Rule changes apply within about two minutes; open public connections are closed once when a rule changes, and allowed clients can reconnect straight away

New VPS Instances: Reliable Private DNS and an Accurate Setup Status
A new VPS keeps resolving the private hostnames of your managed databases, caches and queues, and first-boot setup now waits for, and reports, what is really happening.
New VPS instances resolve names only through the platform DNS, so the private hostnames of your databases, caches and queues no longer start failing with host not found after a while
Docker containers on the VPS, including those on user-defined networks, resolve those private hostnames too
cloud-init status --wait now waits for first-boot security hardening, so installing a package right after it no longer fails on a locked package manager
After a reboot the login banner no longer claims hardening is still running, and dd-hardening-status reports the real state
A freshly created VPS no longer reports cloud-init as degraded
These fixes apply to VPS instances created from 16 September onward; existing instances keep their original setup

Private Network Attachments Now Say What They're Waiting For
When a VPS cannot join a private network live, the console now tells you why and what to do, and attachments that recover turn active on their own.
An attachment that needs a power cycle now shows Power cycle needed instead of a vague Pending, and one being removed shows Detaching
The reason an attachment is waiting appears under its status, on both the network page and the VPS page
The guidance matches what works: power cycle the VPS from the panel with Stop and Start or Reboot, because a reboot from inside the operating system cannot add the interface
An attachment whose interface comes up is marked active automatically within minutes, with no need to press Retry

New Rapids Egress Address to Allowlist: 178.63.243.79
Rapids containers can now also connect out from 178.63.243.79, so add it wherever you allowlist our egress addresses.
178.63.243.79 has joined the published list of IPv4 addresses Rapids containers connect out from

Database Performance Tab: Load, Top SQL and Lock Analysis
A new Performance tab on every managed PostgreSQL database shows what your sessions are waiting on, which statements and callers drive the load, and which sessions are blocking others.
Open the Performance tab on any managed PostgreSQL database to see load as average active sessions, sampled every 30 seconds and shown in one-minute steps by default
Slice the load by wait event, user, application, database, client host, session type or SQL statement, with your vCPU count drawn as a capacity line as load approaches it
Top SQL ranks the statements that carried the most load over the range, with their share of it and the wait events behind them
Client hosts are named after the VPS, Rapids container, managed app or connection pooler they belong to, and a table under the chart ranks the top contributors of the current slice
Pick any range from 5 minutes to 15 days, including an exact start and end, and auto-refresh every 30 seconds, 1, 5 or 15 minutes, or not at all
Lock analysis lists the sessions blocked right now and the session holding the lock, with both queries

Database List With Cluster and Node Rows
The database list now shows the topology and live load you actually pay for: one row per database and one per node.
Each database shows its role summary (single node, or cluster with primary and replica counts), engine, size, pending engine update, public access and monthly cost
Node rows show the primary or replica role, readiness, replication lag, and live CPU and connections, refreshed every 30 seconds while the page is visible
Pod health markers on the cluster row show how many alerts are open and their highest severity
Collapse nodes per cluster or hide them all, and sort by any sortable column; sorting used to do nothing
Rows carry only what the list needs: internal identifiers, host details and credentials no longer travel with the page

Duplicate emails are prevented, and a replayed payment event can no longer alter a later successful charge
While an automatically charged invoice remains unpaid after a failure, the console, API and API-key access switch to a recovery mode limited to replacing the card; every invoice payable by the updated card is retried automatically once it is saved

SQL Studio no longer runs out of memory on large result sets; the agent got more headroom and a restart now returns a clear 503 instead of an empty error
Log Explorer times out cleanly after 25 seconds with a retry hint instead of hanging on very large log volumes
Turning the connection pooler off and on in quick succession now has a short cooldown, which stops it wedging in a half-deleted state
The default PostgreSQL parameter groups log only statements slower than two seconds instead of every write, which keeps logs readable and searches fast; your own parameter group settings are respected

Firewall Rules Keep Their Ports and Protocols
Three firewall fixes found through support tickets.
Regenerating a firewall no longer turns a port-specific rule into an all-traffic rule, and stale rules are replaced correctly
Large port ranges are accepted again instead of being rejected by the policy engine
A firewall named with spaces or capitals now deploys; the name is only used as a label
Attaching and detaching firewalls is safe to retry, detaching cleans up the generated policy, and removing an instance removes its policies too

Bucket-Scoped Keys Work With Object Lock, and Versioned Buckets Delete Cleanly
Scoped access keys now do everything a backup tool expects, and bucket deletion finishes the job.
Bucket-scoped keys can use Object Lock: a scoped key can place a lock but never remove or bypass one
Scoped keys can read their own bucket ACL, policy, CORS and lifecycle configuration, which backup tools probe during setup and used to report as invalid credentials
SFTP users are bound to a key that actually grants their bucket, so a per-bucket key setup no longer produces a login that authenticates and then fails on every path
Deleting a versioned bucket now removes every object version and delete marker first, so deletion completes instead of sitting in an error state

Replace a Card in One Step, and Pay With Link
The payment methods section was rebuilt around the flows people actually get stuck on.
Every card, primary or backup, has a Replace action that runs the full verified-card flow and hands the new card the old card role; the old card is detached only after the new one is attached
When adding a card, choose whether it becomes the primary or a backup instead of every new card silently becoming the default
Link is accepted as a saved payment method and shown by its account email
An expiring, expired or recently failed primary card gets a prominent callout with a Replace button
If your billing profile is incomplete, the dashboard asks for the missing details first instead of showing an empty card form that fails on retry
The card form recovers from a failed load with a clear retry message, and redirect wallets such as Revolut Pay are kept out of the card verification step so they no longer leave a verification hold behind

Sites With Digit-Leading Names or Long Hostnames Serve Again
Two naming edge cases could leave a deployed site answering 404 or quietly serving a stale version.
A site whose name starts with a digit now gets a valid service name, so it serves instead of returning the default backend 404
Free-tier sites with long default hostnames no longer fail their web server configuration, which used to leave the previous version serving silently

Backups and Recovery, Rebuilt
One Backups and recovery page for every VPS, cache and database, a guided restore that creates a new resource by default, and backup policies you control.
The new Backups and recovery page in the sidebar lists every recovery point across your resources, filterable by product, state and origin, and each instance keeps the same view on its Backups tab
Restore creates a new resource by default: pick a point, name it, choose a plan, and review the server-side check of name, plan, storage and monthly cost before starting
Managed PostgreSQL restores to any moment in time within its continuity window
Every restore is a durable operation with its own page, a timeline of stages, a plain reason if it fails and a retry when one is possible; it survives page reloads
Recovery points of VPS, caches and MySQL get a second copy in the platform backup store, re-verified every hour, with Local only, Second copy and Second copy failed labels
Backup policies replace the daily 2:00 AM UTC default per resource: pick the time and timezone, daily, weekdays or weekly, retention from 1 to 90 days and whether a second copy is required; protection health is checked hourly
Replacing an existing resource in place is opened per account as an advanced action, with a safety point first and a typed confirmation

Resource Profiles Apply and Failed Builds Show Why
The profile you pick now sets the container CPU and memory it actually runs with, and a source build that fails no longer sits in Building forever.
Choosing a resource profile sets the container CPU and memory requests and limits accordingly; previously every container ran with the same defaults regardless of profile
The container page shows the CPU and memory it actually runs with, and the API exposes a metrics endpoint plus the same values on the container resource
A source build whose checkout or build step fails is marked Build failed, with the reason, recovery guidance and a link to the failed build
Builds are reconciled against the build system, so a lost callback can no longer leave a container stuck

Automatic Image Retention and Accurate Registry Usage
Keep only the images you can roll back to, and see how much space your repositories really use.
Set a keep-last-N retention per repository, with an account-wide default that every repository inherits unless it sets its own
Retention is enforced on every push: older tags beyond the limit are removed, the tag you just pushed is always kept, and layers still referenced by a kept tag are never deleted
Repository sizes now reflect the real content of multi-architecture images, which used to be counted at a few kilobytes each
Deleting an image from the dashboard now reports a refused deletion instead of claiming success while the bytes stayed
The retention editor states plainly whether a repository inherits the default, keeps a number of tags or is unlimited

Faster, Truer Metrics Charts for Caches, Databases and Rapids
The metrics pipeline behind every chart was rebuilt for accuracy and speed, and the chart catalog grew in the process.
Charts now summarise every sample inside each step, so gauges keep their peaks and rates are averaged properly instead of showing one sample in thirty
Long ranges render again: 72-hour and 7-day database charts and the 7-day and 30-day Rapids tabs no longer come back empty
The granularity picker is honoured end to end, results are cached briefly and per-node database queries no longer multiply with the node count, so pages load noticeably faster
Rapids grows from 6 to 10 charts, including response time p50/p95/p99, responses by status class, an error rate in percent, concurrency and network I/O
Caches grow from 5 to 14 charts with hit rate, evictions, key counts, command latency, fragmentation and replica lag, and CPU and memory now come from container metrics, which fixes Dragonfly CPU readings
Databases gain database size, blocked queries, backup archiving, connection pooler charts, and MySQL and MariaDB connection error and temp table charts

Real Backup Times, Stuck Removals and Name Validation
Three corrections to what the database pages tell you and do.
Managed PostgreSQL and MariaDB instances now show the actual time of their nightly backup instead of a fixed 2:00 AM UTC that never applied to them
A removal whose job died mid-flight, or whose deployment was already gone, no longer leaves the instance parked in a destroying state; it is completed or reported automatically
Instance names are validated up front as lowercase labels that start with a letter and stay under 50 characters, in the create, edit, restore and clone forms and the API, so a name can no longer be accepted and then fail at deploy time

Storage Autoscaling and Backups Keep Up With Fast Imports
A sustained bulk import used to outrun both the storage autoscaler and the backup archiver; both now scale to the load.
Storage autoscaling grows in 5 GiB steps by default instead of 80 GiB, so growth stays proportional to your plan
When usage climbs fast, the autoscaler adds enough space at once to restore a buffer and skips its cooldown at emergency utilisation
PostgreSQL write-ahead log archiving got more CPU and a faster compressor, raising archive throughput up to seven times
Backup storage quotas for managed PostgreSQL are sized from the instance storage and grow with it, so archiving never stalls on a full backup bucket
A database left full while provisioning or in an error state can now recover through autoscaling as well

Object Storage Security Update: Signed Content-Type Required
A security update to the storage layer (CVE-2026-54330) means the S3 endpoint now enforces the standard SigV4 rule that a Content-Type header, when sent, must be covered by the request signature.
Requests that send an unsigned Content-Type header are rejected with AccessDenied and an empty message; downloads and listings are unaffected
Presigned upload URLs that sign only host break when the uploading client adds a content type, which browsers always do; sign the content type when generating the URL
Clients built on aws-sdk-php never sign that header; the documentation shows how to adjust each affected client, including Synology Hyper Backup
A temporary compatibility setting kept affected uploads working until 30 August 2026
Storage Share images were updated (Nextcloud 34.0.3, 33.0.8 and 32.0.14) so their own uploads keep working

The Activity Log Now Records Every Action
The Activity Log used to surface almost nothing beyond sign-ins; it now shows every resource you create, change or remove.

Each entry names the actual action, so a database creation no longer shows up as a firewall update

The dashboard sidebar becomes a dark brand rail in both themes, the header slims down and primary actions use one consistent button style
Favourites and rail-mode flyouts are reachable from the keyboard, the closed mobile drawer leaves the tab order, and the current-page indicator meets contrast requirements
Header labels and shortcuts meet WCAG AA contrast in light and dark mode, and the header reflows cleanly down to 320px wide

Opening an instance in a project other than the one currently selected, via a bookmark, an email link or another tab, now loads every panel instead of failing on the page requests

Get Notified Before a Bucket Fills Up
A bucket that reaches its size limit rejects every write while reads keep working, so you now hear about it before it happens.
Buckets with a size limit are checked every 15 minutes against their measured usage
Your team is emailed and notified in the dashboard once when a bucket passes 80% of its limit and once more when it reaches 100%
No repeat messages while the bucket stays full, and recovery is silent; a bucket that empties and fills again triggers a fresh notice
Buckets whose usage measurement is missing or stale are never alerted on

Public Hostname for the PostgreSQL Connection Pooler
The transaction-mode connection pooler can now be reached from outside the platform, which is what serverless functions and short-lived workers need.
Enable public access for the pooler separately from the direct connection; each keeps its own hostname and ports
One pooler hostname serves two ports: one for the writer and one that accepts any node
Pooler ports come from their own ranges, so enabling them never competes with the direct connection ports

Upgrade Your Cache, Database, or Queue's Engine Version — No Recreation Needed
Move to a newer Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or RabbitMQ version right from the instance page — we handle the snapshot, the upgrade, and the rollback path.
Open the new Updates tab on any eligible Cache, Database, or Queue instance to see the versions you can upgrade to
Start an upgrade with one click — a snapshot is taken automatically first, so you can restore if anything looks wrong afterward
Track progress live on the instance page as the upgrade runs, no refresh needed

Database Storage Autoscaling — Never Get Caught Out by a Full Disk
Turn on autoscaling for any managed database and we'll grow its storage automatically before it ever fills up.
Enable Storage Autoscaling when creating a database, or turn it on anytime from the instance's edit page
Set your own trigger threshold (default 80% used) and growth increment (default 80 GiB) per instance
Storage grows automatically once usage crosses your threshold, with a cooldown between scale-events so it won't run away on you
A maximum size keeps growth within your plan and account limits — set a lower cap yourself for tighter control
The instance page shows autoscaling status and the projected monthly cost of the next scale-up, billed at our standard per-GiB storage rate

Container Registry & per-bucket S3 access keys
Two new ways to control private artifacts on DanubeData: a managed Container Registry for your Docker images, and per-bucket scoped access keys so each application credential is restricted to exactly the buckets and permissions it needs.
Container Registry — push and pull private Docker/OCI images via cr.danubedata.ro with per-team isolation, no node setup required
Container Registry — create scoped access tokens for CI/CD pipelines, with separate push and pull credentials
Container Registry — anti-abuse limits and quota tracking included; bundled storage in your team plan
S3 access keys — choose between Team-wide (default, full access to every bucket) and Specific buckets (per-bucket, per-level grants) when creating a key
S3 access keys — per-bucket permission levels: Read-only, Read-write, or Full (admin)
S3 access keys — scoped keys are enforced at the storage backend itself via bucket policies, not just in the dashboard, so the restriction holds wherever the key is used
S3 access keys — create directly from a bucket detail page to scope a key to that bucket, or from Account → Security → S3 Credentials to span multiple buckets
S3 access keys — Set an optional expiry date and the key will be auto-revoked after the date
