Hello world. All systems are go!
Stop guessing CPU and memory for pipeline steps.
Set cpu, memory, or disk to auto on an interruptible sandbox step and Ravion sizes it from the step's earlier runs. Out of memory or disk? It gets more and retries in the same run. In preview.

Small inference jobs no longer need a whole GPU each on ECS.
Multiple tasks can share one NVIDIA GPU through MPS, with per-container memory limits.
EC2 + Managed Instances, not Fargate. Software sharing, not hardware isolation.

ECS Managed Instances can now pack tasks from several underused instances onto fewer machines, including Spot.
Previously, it evaluated each instance alone. Now it can optimize the fleet together. Automatic, with no extra fee.

Hitting Aurora PostgreSQL serverless's 256-ACU ceiling? The limit is now 384 ACUs: 50% more headroom, roughly 768 GiB of memory per instance.
Requires Platform Version 4 and a supported engine version. MySQL stays at 256 ACUs.

You no longer have to recreate an ElastiCache Valkey cluster to change its durability.
Eligible node-based clusters can switch between sync, async and disabled.
Not interruption-free: nodes are replaced, so plan for brief failovers.

Ravion now has interface themes.
Pick one in Personal settings: Neutral Light and Dark, Burgundy, Tokyo Night, Dracula, Cyberdream, and more. There's also a Sunrise and sunset option.

Monorepo? Ravion can now skip the work that didn't change.
Set watch_paths on a module build. If no changed file matches since the last successful deployment, that module's pipeline build and deploy steps are skipped.

Your own domain on a CloudFront distribution or static site, without wrangling ACM.
Turn on Ravion-managed domains, apply, and add two DNS records. Ravion issues and attaches the certificate.
CloudFront CDN 1.6.0, Static Hosting 1.6.1.

Ravion pipeline runs now show up as GitHub checks.
Every commit a run executes gets a live check. Failures show the failing step, the error, and a link to logs, whether the run started from a PR, a push, the dashboard, the API, or a schedule.

Overlapping CIDRs just stopped being a re-IP project on AWS.
Transit Gateway and Cloud WAN now do 1:1 NAT on the attachment. Two VPCs both on 10.0.0.0/16? Give each its own NAT range and connect them. No renumbering, no NAT appliance.

Custom domains on Ravion ECS web services now take two DNS records.
Ravion issues, attaches, and renews the certificates and creates the load balancer rules for you. Upgrade to rvn-ecs-cluster 2.2.0 and rvn-ecs-web 2.3.0 to turn it on.

ECS can now manage your load balancers for you.
With ECS Gateway, you set ingress rules once. Each service opts in and gets its own HTTPS hostname, certificate and routing. Up to 25 services share one ALB.
The gateway is free. You pay for the ALBs.

Ravion config as code no longer needs your own GitHub Actions workflow.
The Ravion GitHub App plans project and pipeline config changes on pull requests and applies them when they merge to your default branch. YAML, JSON, JSONC, or CUE.

UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED is one of the worst states a CloudFormation stack can hit. Getting out just got easier.
continue-update-rollback --force-rollback skips every resource that failed to roll back, nested stacks included. No more listing logical IDs.

Most DB recovery plans assume AWS has an instance free when you restore. RDS and Aurora can now reserve it.
Capacity Reservations hold DB capacity in the AZs you pick, so restores and scale-ups don't fail on capacity.
Billed On-Demand, used or not.

See what your Ravion CI capacity is doing and what it costs.
Execution environment settings now show costs, pipeline minutes, running sandbox jobs, vCPU capacity, and host states in one place.

NAT gateway data processing charges eating your AWS bill?
Ravion's new alterNAT module moves private subnet egress to alterNAT instances with no per-GB charge, and fails over to a NAT gateway automatically if an instance fails.

Hit an AWS service quota? Ravion now flags it in the dashboard and lets you request the increase in one click.
No digging through the Service Quotas console mid-deploy. Coverage is limited for now, with more quotas coming.

Ravion pipelines got much faster: builds up to 4× and Terraform runs up to 10×, depending on workload.
Sandboxes: Firecracker microVMs on an autoscaling EC2 fleet in your AWS account. ~1s starts on warm hosts, and sticky disks keep caches between runs.
