Shipping weekly

Changelog

Everything new in Ownkube, grouped by the week it shipped. New features, improvements, and fixes to the platform that runs on your own cloud.

Jun 17 to 24 Latest

A cleaner dashboard, more say over your cluster

The whole product got a redesign, and you have real choices when you create a cluster.

New Templates

Get a working app online in one click

Skip the blank-deployment setup. Pick an app like n8n, Directus, or Vaultwarden from the catalog and it comes up running, with a managed PostgreSQL database already connected.

New Clusters

More control when you create a cluster

Choose the Kubernetes version and the instance size when you create a cluster, so it matches what your team already runs. We check your AWS quota for that region first and tell you up front if it is too low, instead of letting the launch fail partway through.

New Deployments

Set environment variables once, reuse them everywhere

Define variables on an environment and every deployment inherits them. Override a value on a single deployment when you need to, and your variables follow the app when you promote it to the next environment.

Improved Design

A redesigned dashboard and sign-in

We rebuilt the home, onboarding, and sign-in into one connected view, so your account, cluster, and deployments live together instead of scattered across pages. Signing in and signing up share one faster screen.

Jun 10 to 16

Two more languages for functions, friendlier AWS setup

Functions learned Go and Rust, and connecting AWS stopped punishing you for closing the tab.

New Functions (Beta)

Write functions in Go and Rust

Functions now run Go and Rust alongside Node.js, Python, Java, .NET, and Ruby. As you pick a language, the editor suggests a handler to start from, so you are not staring at an empty file.

New Integrations

Deploy from more than one GitHub account

Connect several GitHub accounts or organizations and deploy from any of them. Each app remembers which one it builds from.

Improved Onboarding

Reconnect AWS without starting over

If an AWS connection loses its access, you can restore it in a step instead of redoing onboarding. And if you close the connect window before it finishes, you can pick the connection back up where you left off.

Jun 3 to 9

Reach your databases from anywhere, catch mistakes earlier

Managed databases can open to the outside world when you want them to, safely and off by default.

New Databases

Connect to a managed database from anywhere

Turn on public access for a managed PostgreSQL database and get a stable hostname with its own TLS certificate, so your local tools and CI can reach it over an encrypted, verified connection. It stays private until you switch it on.

Improved Polish

Deployment settings that catch typos for you

Image names, deployment names, CPU and memory amounts, and database settings are now checked as you fill them in, so a typo gets caught in the form instead of failing once it reaches your cluster.

May 27 to Jun 2

A real web address for every app, room for more than one team

Public apps get a branded address that works on the first try, and accounts opened up to multiple teams.

New Deployments

Every public app gets a real address

Public deployments get an automatic address on ownkube.app with TLS, and we hold the link back until DNS has resolved, so the URL you share works the first time you send it.

New Dashboard

Switch between teams without logging out

If you belong to more than one organization, a switcher in the top bar moves you between them in place.

Fixed Reliability

Deploys recover from interruptions

If a build is interrupted partway through, the deploy now recovers cleanly instead of getting stuck, so you can retry without untangling a half-finished state. Services also boot faster, and long-running operations hold steadier.

Earlier

Where it started

The milestone that opened it all up.

New Launch

Ownkube is live

Connect your AWS account and ship your first app in minutes, on infrastructure you own. Managed PostgreSQL, background workers, automatic builds from GitHub, and TLS on every address, all included. AWS Activate and startup credits apply in full, at wholesale rates.
