[David]

Hello and welcome to this week’s changelog update! According to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the number of 42 is the “answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”

For us, changelog #42 brings autoscaling in the control panel, larger Postgres databases, a new dashboard, and new tutorials!

1. Autoscaling in the control panel - Technical Preview Open

   Autoscaling is now available in the control panel! Request access to start autoscaling your Services’ capacity based on CPU, memory, or requests per second thresholds.

   

2. Larger Postgres database instances available

   Everyone on the Starter plan now has access to our larger managed Postgres instances with up to 4GB of RAM! They are available in Frankfurt, Singapore, and Washington, D.C.

   In late December, we announced the Serverless Postgres Pricing which allows up to 88% savings compared to traditional databases thanks to their high availability design and scale-to-zero capabilities.

   One Free Postgres instance is available for everyone to use.

   

3. New dashboard available for everyone

   Our control panel’s new dashboard is available for everyone! The new dashboard makes it easier to create new Services and quickly identify the state of your Apps, Services, and Databases running on Koyeb.

   

4. New gRPC and Spring Authorization tutorials

   We published new tutorials to help you get started building your next applications:

   • Build a gRPC API using Go and gRPC-gateway
   • Using Spring Authorization Server as an Auth Solution on Koyeb
