PostgreSQL 18 is now available

PostgreSQL 18 — with asynchronous I/O via io_uring, virtual generated columns, and native OAuth support — is now the default version when creating a new PostgreSQL instance.

PostgreSQL 18 (postgres:18-alpine) selectable as the default version on the database create page
New "PostgreSQL 18 General Purpose" parameter group enables asynchronous I/O (io_method=io_uring, io_workers=3) for lower-latency disk operations
Virtual generated columns and other PostgreSQL 18 features available out of the box
Existing PostgreSQL 17 / 16 / 15 instances continue to run on their selected version; choose PostgreSQL 18 when creating a new instance
Parameter groups are now version-scoped — a PostgreSQL 17 system parameter group cannot be attached to a PostgreSQL 18 instance, and the dropdown filters to compatible groups automatically. Custom parameter groups remain compatible across versions.

Redis 8.0 is now available

Redis 8.0 — the latest stable release with vector sets, JSON, time series, and bloom filters bundled in core, plus I/O threading enabled by default — is now the default version when creating a new Redis instance.

Redis 8.0 (redis:8.0-alpine) selectable as the default version on the cache create page
New "Redis 8.0 General Purpose" parameter group ships with io-threads=4 and io-threads-do-reads=yes for higher throughput on multi-core profiles
Vector sets, native JSON, time series, and bloom filters now ship with the core image — no module installation needed
Existing Redis 7.4 / 7.2 instances continue to run on their selected version; choose Redis 8.0 when creating a new instance
Parameter groups are now version-scoped — a Redis 7.4 system parameter group cannot be attached to a Redis 8.0 instance, and the dropdown filters to compatible groups automatically. Custom parameter groups remain compatible across versions.

Smarter ZIP uploads & editable build config

Several quality-of-life upgrades to Rapids ZIP-upload deployments — wrapper-folder zips just work, build settings are editable after creation, and the upload form now tells you what is happening.

Auto-unwrap single-folder ZIPs — no more "Dockerfile not found" when you used `zip -r foo.zip myproject/`
Friendlier build errors that point you to the wrapper-folder fix when manifest files are missing
Edit build configuration after creation — switch between Buildpacks and Dockerfile, change the Dockerfile path, source directory, or buildpack builder. Saving rebuilds from your last upload
Post-upload "Follow build" + "Cancel build" buttons replace the upload form so it is clear a build is running
Reserved-port validation: friendly error if you pick a port already in use by the platform, with a documented reserved list
Uploaded ZIPs are now kept in object storage, so manual rebuilds and Retry no longer require re-uploading

Storage Metrics in danube-cli

The danube CLI gains trend / top / health subcommands under storage buckets metrics, plus extended snapshot view.

danube storage buckets metrics <id>: extended with error rate, p50/p95 latency, ingress bytes, and a freshness badge
danube storage buckets metrics trend <id>: time-series view with sparkline (default), table, CSV, and JSON output formats
danube storage buckets metrics top <id> --by size|egress|requests: top-N objects in a bucket
danube storage buckets metrics health <id>: pending multipart uploads, deleted-version size, last health-check time
Exit code 3 on stale data so scripts and agents can branch on freshness

Redesigned Metrics Toolbar

The Metrics tab toolbar is redesigned to match the VPS and database performance pages: pill-group time-range picker, auto-period selection, and proper auto-refresh controls.

Time-range pill group with 8 ranges: 1h, 6h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w, 2w, 1M
Period picker with Auto mode plus 1m / 5m / 10m / 15m / 30m / 1h / 6h / 1d manual options
Period options dynamically filter to sane choices per window — no more 43k-datapoint requests
Auto-refresh toggle with 30s / 1m / 5m intervals and manual Refresh button
Freshness badge moved inline with the controls card so data staleness is always visible
Single-point spikes (e.g. a brief error burst) now render as a visible dot instead of only showing on hover

April 20, 2026

Per-Interval Bucket Metrics & Health

Storage metrics move from smoothed 24h rolling sums to true per-interval deltas, with first-class error-rate, latency, and bucket-health panels.

Per-interval request counts, egress bytes, and HTTP status breakdown (2xx / 4xx / 5xx) derived from Prometheus recording rules fed by an Alloy log-to-metric pipeline
Latency histograms with p50 / p95 / mean per bucket
4xx and 5xx rate charts split into separate series — 4xx surfaces client 404s/403s, 5xx surfaces real server-side incidents
Bucket Health card surfaces pending multipart uploads (reclaimable bytes) and deleted-version size via a sharded hourly probe against the Ceph RGW admin API
Freshness badge (fresh / lagging / stale) on the Metrics tab so you always know how recent the data is
New /metrics endpoint fields: requests_24h_by_status, error_rate_24h, latency_24h_ms, ingress_bytes_24h, freshness, source
New API endpoints: /metrics/trend, /metrics/top-objects, /metrics/health (session + API v1)
Hourly rollup table so 30-day trend queries scan ~720 rows per bucket instead of ~43k
