Highlights

Below you can find the highlights for the month of October. We hope you enjoy them!

Custom domains

You now have the ability to utilize custom domains to access your services. This is especially beneficial for the authentication service because it ensures that your users only interact with your domain. Additionally, it offers greater control over the links in your email templates, enabling you to optimize them and prevent delays caused by spam filters.

Dashboard

Announcements

The dashboard now includes on the main page an "Announcements" widget:

Connecting GitHub Repositories

Workspace members with a project connected to a GitHub repository should have the ability to connect additional projects to the same repository.

Postgres

Database size

Users can now increase the maximum size of their postgres database. To do so head to your project's Settings -> Database and increase your storage capacity. If you are using the toml don't forget to run nhost config pull after increasing the size.

Hub Information

The docker hub should now present more information about our postgres image used both in the CLI and in the cloud. Amongst the information you should be able to see the CHANGELOG, extensions available, their versions, options, etc.

You can head to the docker hub to see it in action.

Documentation

Sveltekit example

Updated the SvelteKit example to showcase how to use the Nhost SDK in server load functions and API routes.

vue-apollo example

As we released support to upload multiple files using composables in vue we updated our vue-apollo example to showcase this new feature. Head to the example and check it out.

Observability

A new dashboard with traffic metrics is now available to our Pro users. In this dashbord you can see metrics like requests per second, response status rate, reponse size, reponse times, error rate, etc. Head to your grafana service and look for your new "Ingress Metrics" and let us know what you think.

Releases

CLI

In October, several CLI releases took place with a few bugfixes, additions and minor changes, the most relevant being:

A new flag --yes has been added to nhost config pull to automatically answer "Y" to all prompts. This should streamline synchronizing configuration changes locally
The underlying docker volume type for postgres data has changed from type bind to volume. This should bring some performance benefits and, more importantly, should increase compatibility with various setups like linux users using SELINUX. Unfortunately this means that upgrading your CLI will reset your current development data.
To complement the volume type changed, a new --volumes flag has been added to nhost down. This will shutdown your project as usual but it will also delete any underlying volume used, effectively deleting your postgres data amongst other things.

You can find the release notes for each version released during October below:
