Changelog #51 - Skip the build on new deployments, improved promotion of new deployments, and more

[David]

Hello, and welcome to this week’s changelog update! Let’s jump into what’s new:

1. Skip the build on new deployments

   We introduced a new feature to skip the build on new deployment. This allows you to save time, troubleshoot faster, and reduce the feedback loop when your changes on the service settings don’t impact the build. Previously a build occurred on every service settings update. This is available in version 3.10.0 of the CLI using --skip-build option on services update and services redeploy commands.

   

2. Improved promotion of new deployments

   During a few promotions of new deployments, a Service was returning 502 errors and displaying a page stating that “Your service was almost ready”. This is now solved and prevents disruptions when you release a new Service version.

3. Improved database service usage reporting

   In the control panel, a clear message now indicates when you reach the limit of your free database service. Previously, only an ambiguous error message occurred while connecting to the database: Console request failed: endpoint is temporarily unavailable. Check your quotas and/or contact our support.

   

4. Build a Multimodal Chat App using LLava, Chainlit, and Replicate

   Nuno recently published a guide to build a multimodal chat app using Llava, Chainlit, and Replicate. You can even deploy it with one click!
