Changelog

Managed Hosting by lowcloud

You can now deploy applications without setting up your own cloud provider account.

What's New:

• Managed hosting in Germany — Deploy your applications on lowcloud's infrastructure hosted in Germany. Your data stays in the EU, ensuring compliance with GDPR and full data sovereignty
• Simplified onboarding — Get started faster without needing to configure cloud provider credentials upfront
• No vendor lock-in — We handle the servers, networking, and maintenance while you retain full control over your applications

This is perfect for teams who want to get up and running quickly without the overhead of managing their own cloud accounts.

Kyberio Provider & UX Improvements

We're expanding your hosting options with a brand new provider.

What's New:

• Kyberio provider — Deploy your applications to Kyberio, our new OpenStack-based hosting option. Full support for deployments, infrastructure management, and teardown
• Improved credentials UI — Redesigned credential management with a cleaner, more consistent experience across all providers
• GitHub connection fixes — Resolved an issue where GitHub connections weren't updating properly
• Password management — You can now change your password directly from your account settings

Build Caching & Multi-Provider Foundation

We've been working on making your deployments faster and setting the stage for some exciting new features coming soon.

What's New:

• Smarter build caching — Your container builds now use improved caching strategies, meaning faster deployments especially when your dependencies haven't changed
• Multi-provider architecture — We've restructured our infrastructure code to support additional VM hosting providers. More options coming soon!

This release focuses on performance and flexibility. The caching improvements alone can cut build times significantly for projects with stable dependencies. And while you won't see it yet, the multi-provider work opens the door to offering you more choices in where and how you host your applications.

PostgreSQL & Docker Image Deployments

A big release bringing two highly requested features: managed PostgreSQL databases and the ability to deploy your own Docker images.

What's New:

• PostgreSQL databases — Spin up managed PostgreSQL databases directly from lowcloud and connect them to your applications with just a few clicks
• Deploy from Docker registries — Already have a Docker image? Skip the build step entirely and deploy directly from Docker Hub or other registries
• Better support access — Added a support button throughout the app, including on failed setup screens, so you can reach us when you need help
• Longer build timeouts — Increased build timeout to 30 minutes for larger applications that need more time to compile
• Service renaming fixes — Resolved issues that occurred when renaming your services

Not every project needs to be built from source. With Docker image deployments, you can use your existing CI/CD pipeline and just point lowcloud at your registry. And with PostgreSQL support, you can now run full-stack applications without managing database infrastructure yourself.

Custom Build Commands

More flexibility for how your applications get built and deployed.

What's New:

• Advanced build configuration — Specify custom build and serve commands for your applications. Perfect for monorepos, non-standard frameworks, or projects that need special build steps

We also did a major spring cleaning! Removed legacy code, unused dependencies, and fixed numerous linting issues across the entire codebase. The result is a faster, more maintainable platform.

Live Log Streaming

Ever wondered what's happening during a deployment? Now you can watch it live.

What's New:

• Real-time deployment logs — Watch your build and deployment logs stream live as they happen. No more refreshing to check progress
• Color-coded log levels — Logs now display with visual indicators for info, warning, and error messages, making it easier to spot issues at a glance

Debugging deployment issues just got a lot easier. Instead of waiting for a build to complete and then scrolling through logs, you can now watch in real-time and catch problems as they happen.

Monitoring & Transparent Pricing

Know exactly how your applications are performing.

What's New:

• Built-in monitoring — View CPU, memory, and performance metrics for your deployed applications directly in the dashboard
• Transparent pricing — Server selection now shows estimated monthly costs upfront, so you know exactly what you'll pay before you deploy
• Smarter failure handling — Clearer error messages and better recovery options when deployments fail

We've integrated a monitoring stack that runs alongside your applications, collecting metrics without impacting performance. The data is stored securely and displayed in easy-to-read charts right in your dashboard.

Push to Deploy & Drag-and-Drop Config

Deploy automatically and configure faster than ever.

What's New:

• Push to deploy — Connect a branch and your app automatically deploys whenever you push new code. No more manual deploy clicks!
• Drag & drop .env files — Upload environment variables by simply dragging your .env file onto the configuration panel. We'll parse it and add all variables automatically
• GitHub Apps integration — Switched from OAuth to GitHub Apps for more reliable and secure repository connections
• Faster Docker images — Optimized our build process resulting in smaller, faster-deploying container images

Push to deploy transforms your workflow. Make a change, push to your branch, and lowcloud handles the rest. Combined with the .env drag-and-drop feature, setting up new projects is now faster than ever.
