Highlights
Below you can find the highlights for the month of September. We hope you enjoy them!
Nhost Run now in public beta
As announced a couple of weeks ago, we are excited to share that Nhost Run has officially entered the public beta phase. Anyone with a Pro plan can now have access to its full range of features.
Since its launch, we've witnessed an impressive array of use cases for Nhost Run. From optimizing PostgreSQL databases to building machine learning pipelines and creating custom workflows software, the versatility of Nhost Run has been prominent. One aspect that has garnered significant praise is its user-friendly nature, particularly thanks to the convenient one-click install links. Users have found it exceptionally easy to get started and leverage Nhost Run's power to streamline their projects. The positive feedback and diverse applications continue to inspire us as we strive to enhance the platform even further.
We genuinely hope that everyone shares our excitement and takes advantage of the incredible capabilities offered by Nhost Run. Let's embrace this new era of possibilities together!

Storage Antivirus
We're thrilled to announce that Hasura Storage now supports integration with the open-source antivirus ClamAV, further enhancing the security measures available to our users. By seamlessly integrating ClamAV into the Hasura Storage infrastructure, we provide an additional layer of protection against potential security threats. This powerful combination ensures that your data remains secure and protected from malicious files or potential vulnerabilities. We're excited to offer this enhanced security feature and empower our users with the peace of mind they deserve.
The antivirus seamlessly utilizes Nhost Run to host its dedicated ClamAV instance, effectively demonstrating the wide range of use cases and remarkable versatility offered by the platform.

Functions using node18
On October 1st, we completed the migration of our Functions service from Node.js 16 to the latest LTS version, Node.js 18. This update was necessary as Node.js 16 reached its End-of-Life (EOL) on September 11th. By upgrading to Node.js 18, we ensure that our platform remains supported with the latest features, performance improvements, and security patches. This transition highlights our commitment to providing a reliable and current development environment for our users.
