Changelog
Keep yourself informed about the most recent additions and improvements
we’ve made to Sevalla.
Create webhooks to receive service event notifications
You can now configure an endpoint to receive event notifications when changes occur in your apps, databases, or static sites.
Each webhook request includes an svl-signature header for verification, and failed deliveries are retried up to 12 times, with all attempts visible in the Event Deliveries view.
Initial supported event types include:
APP_CREATE,APP_UPDATE,APP_DELETE,APP_DEPLOYDATABASE_CREATE,DATABASE_UPDATE,DATABASE_DELETESTATIC_SITE_CREATE,STATIC_SITE_UPDATE,STATIC_SITE_DELETE,STATIC_SITE_DEPLOY
Learn more in the documentation.
Pretty URLs for static sites
Static sites on Sevalla now support Pretty URLs, which automatically standardize URLs for cleaner paths and improved SEO.
When enabled, Sevalla will:
- Redirect paths like
/about→/about/ - Rewrite paths like
/about.html→/about/
This behavior helps ensure consistent URL structures and better caching performance across our CDN.
You can enable Pretty URLs in your project's Static Site > Settings > Redirects section.
_redirects file support for static sites
Static sites on Sevalla now support the _redirects file format. If your repository includes a _redirects file in its root, Sevalla automatically parses and applies your custom redirect rules.
Supported features include:
- Custom 404 pages: Add a
404.htmlpage, and Sevalla will automatically serve it for missing paths. - Force redirects: Use
!in your status code to override existing files, ensuring your redirect always takes effect. - Splats: Use wildcards (e.g.
/news/* → /blog/:splat) to match entire path segments. - Placeholders: Dynamically capture path segments using variables like
:slugor:id. - Query parameters: Match redirects based on query strings (e.g.
/store?id=:id → /blog/:id).
These additions make it easier to manage complex routing logic directly from your repository with no extra configuration required.
For single-page applications that rely on client-side routing, we recommend adding the rule /* /index.html 200 so that all paths correctly return index.html with a 200 status instead of a 404 on reload.
A brand-new Sevalla dashboard (with dark mode!)
The wait is finally over.
We’ve refreshed Sevalla’s look and feel with a cleaner, more modern design and packed it with visual and usability improvements.
The highlight of this release is Dark Mode 🌙, giving you a sleek, eye-friendly experience whether you’re coding late at night or just prefer a darker interface.
A big thank-you to all our beta users who helped us test and refine the new interface. We’re thrilled to share it with everyone, and as always, if you spot any quirks, we’d love your feedback.
