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.

Restore a backup to a different database#

You can now restore a database backup into a database other than the one it was taken from, making it easier to clone data between environments or recover into a fresh instance without overwriting the source.

When opening the Restore backup dialog, choose between:

• Restore to source: Replace the current data in the original database with the backup contents.
• Restore to different database: Pick any other compatible database in your company as the target.

Target databases must be the same type (for example, PostgreSQL), the same version, and in the same location as the source. The source database is left untouched when restoring to a different target.

Delete non-empty object storage#

You can now delete an object storage bucket even when it still contains objects. Any objects inside are removed automatically as part of the deletion.

Previously, you had to empty the bucket manually before it could be deleted.

Roll object storage secrets#

You can now rotate the access and secret keys on an object storage bucket without taking your clients offline.

Open the bucket's Settings tab and click Roll secret in the Details section. Pick how long the previous keys should remain valid:

• Now: Invalidate the old keys immediately.
• Up to 168 hours: Keep the old keys working alongside the new ones during a grace period, then expire them automatically.

The new access and secret keys are shown right after rotation. Update your applications and tooling before the grace period ends so they switch over to the new credentials without disruption.

The same rotation is also available through the public API at POST /object-storage/{id}/rotate-credentials.

Onboarding experience#

Newly signed-up customers are now greeted by a guided onboarding sheet that helps them get up and running on Sevalla faster.

Open it from the Get started button in the top-right corner of the dashboard and pick one of four quick-start paths:

• Connect your coding agent: The featured option. Generate and copy an API key directly from the guide, then plug AI tools into the Sevalla MCP server at https://mcp.sevalla.com/mcp to manage your infrastructure through prompts.
• Deploy an application: Ship your first app from a Git repository in a few steps.
• Deploy a database: Spin up a managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or Redis instance.
• Try a template: Launch a pre-configured, self-hosted app in a single click.

Each path is structured as a checklist, so you can manually tick off steps as you complete them.

It's all part of giving new customers a warmer, more delightful start on Sevalla.
