PostGIS is now available for our PostgreSQL databases

Many of you have asked for PostGIS support, and we're announcing that it's now available for PostgreSQL 13+ databases!

PostGIS is a spatial database extension for PostgreSQL, allowing you to store and query geographic information. With PostGIS, you can:

• Store and manage spatial data types like points, lines, and polygons
• Perform spatial queries to analyze and visualize your data
• Build location-aware applications and services

To enable PostGIS, simply create a new PostgreSQL 13+ database and make sure you tick the "PostGIS" option during the creation process.

Deploy hooks

We're excited to introduce Deploy hooks, making automated deployments even easier!

With Deploy hooks, you can now trigger deployments with a simple POST request to a unique URL, perfect for integrating with your workflow. This powerful feature enables:

• Seamless CI/CD integration: Connect your GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI tools
• Automated deployments: Trigger updates when your content or data changes
• Custom workflow support: Build scripts that deploy your apps when needed

IP access controls for applications

We've just rolled out powerful new IP restriction capabilities for your app hosting environments:

• IP Allowlists: Create a trusted circle of approved IP addresses
• IP Denylists: Block specific troublesome IPs or ranges

Both features support individual addresses or CIDR notation for precise network control. Simply choose which approach works best for your security model (note: only one mode can be active at a time).

This highly-requested security enhancement gives you granular control over who can access your applications.

Preview apps now support advanced pre-configuration

You can now pre-define your preview apps with both disk configurations and TCP proxies right from the start.

We've also published the "createPreviewApp" endpoint in our public API, enabling programmatic creation of fully-configured preview environments.

Vector search with pgvector has arrived

We've just integrated pgvector extension support for PostgreSQL databases (version 11+).

This powerful addition enables:

• Lightning-fast vector similarity searches
• Seamless RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) implementations
• Enhanced AI application capabilities right in your database
