Changelog

AI support agent#

You can now chat with an AI support assistant directly from the Sevalla dashboard. The assistant answers questions about the platform and, with your permission, about the services running in your account - it can check deployment status, error logs, database backups, and more, and help you troubleshoot issues. You can also attach screenshots to your messages.

To enable it, go to Help > AI support, review the data processing terms, and choose what the assistant can access. Permissions work like API key permissions: pick a predefined role or scope custom permissions to specific resources. Once enabled, every member of your company can chat with the assistant, so grant only the access you are comfortable exposing to all members. Only company owners and admins can enable AI support or change its permissions.

A few things worth knowing:

• The assistant is powered by Anthropic Claude. Prompts and account data are sent to Anthropic only to generate responses and are not used to train their models.
• Enabling AI support creates a dedicated, managed API key for your company. Disabling it revokes the key immediately.
• The assistant hands the conversation over to our human support team whenever needed.
• Without account access, the assistant still answers questions using the Sevalla documentation.

Bandwidth chart in analytics#

Application and static site Analytics tabs now include a Bandwidth chart alongside the existing request rate, response time, and status code charts. Use it to see how much traffic your service is serving over time and to spot bandwidth spikes.

The same timeframe and filter controls that apply to the other charts apply to bandwidth as well.

Git LFS support#

Applications and static sites can now pull LFS-tracked files when deploying from repositories that use Git Large File Storage (LFS). Large assets tracked by LFS - such as images, videos, datasets, or model files - are fetched during the build. Previously, deploys from LFS repositories succeeded but only the LFS pointer files were checked out, not the actual file contents.

Git LFS is enabled by default. You can disable or re-enable it from the application or static site Settings tab. The same flag is available through the public API as git_lfs_enabled on update application and update static site.

You can also toggle the flag with Sevalla CLI v1.10.0:

sevalla apps update {id} --git-lfs-enabled true
sevalla static-sites update {id} --git-lfs-enabled true

And in the Terraform provider v1.1.0.

Restart a database#

You can now restart a database on demand from the dashboard. Open the database's Settings tab and click Restart database in the Danger zone.

The database is stopped and started again - existing connections are closed and any in-flight queries or uncommitted transactions are aborted. Stored data is preserved. The restart runs in the background and usually completes within a few minutes. The database is unavailable until it finishes.

Restart is available when the database is not suspended, is in a ready, error, passwordChangeFailed, or restoringFailed state, and its backup status is ready.

The same action is also available through the public API at POST /databases/{id}/restart-database and through the Sevalla CLI with sevalla databases restart {id}.

Header-based conditions in _redirects#

Static site _redirects rules can now match on incoming request headers.

Add a Header:Name=value option at the end of a rule to apply it only when the request carries a matching header. For example, to serve a Markdown version of a page to clients that ask for it:

/quickstart/   /quickstart.md   301   Header:Accept=text/markdown

Header names are matched case-insensitively.
