# Changelog
> See the latest Laravel Cloud updates, improvements, and platform changes.
## Expanded Outbound IP Addresses
We've provisioned additional outbound IP addresses in several regions to improve networking capacity and reliability. Over the coming weeks, Laravel Cloud will begin routing outbound requests through these new addresses.
If you allowlist the IPs that Laravel Cloud uses for outbound requests—for example, to permit access to a third-party API, database, or firewall—update your rules to include the new addresses before they go live to avoid disruptions. The current, complete list is always available in our documentation and via the API.
[Read the networking documentation](/network#ip-addresses) to learn more.
## Improved Notifications
Email notifications are now personal to each team member, allowing you to customize which events you care about across your organizations, applications, and environments. Slack notifications are configured at the organization level with a default channel and per-application overrides, so you can route different apps to different channels without overwhelming your team with noise.
[Read the notifications documentation](/notifications) to learn more.
## Deploy to Laravel Cloud with Stripe Projects
Laravel Cloud is now available through Stripe Projects, a tool that lets you discover, provision, and pay for developer tools directly from the Stripe CLI.
Provision, or let your agents provision, your Laravel Cloud infrastructure using a single command.
Read our [Stripe Projects docs](/api/stripe-projects) to get started.
## ElastiCache
Provision fully managed AWS ElastiCache caches, available in both Valkey and Redis OSS, directly from Laravel Cloud. ElastiCache delivers high-throughput, low-latency performance backed by AWS infrastructure, with automatic failover, multi-AZ deployments, and in-place version upgrades. ElastiCache is available with Private Cloud.
Choose from a range of node sizes and deployment options, from a single-AZ instance for development to multi-AZ clusters with automatic failover for production workloads.
[Read the ElastiCache documentation](/resources/caches/elasticache) to learn more.
## Scale to Zero and New Pricing
Laravel Cloud now offers a new generation of Flex compute that can scale to zero, sleeping when your application is idle and waking in under 500 milliseconds when a request arrives. Your scheduled tasks continue running and queued jobs keep processing while the environment sleeps. Flex compute, Serverless Postgres, and Laravel Valkey can sleep and wake together so you only pay for what you use.
Alongside Scale to Zero, we've refreshed our plans:
* The new **Starter plan** is \$5/mo with \$5 in monthly usage credits and a free first month.
* Every paid plan now includes \$5 in monthly usage credits.
* **Spending limits** let you set a hard monthly cap so your bill never exceeds your budget.
* **Custom domains** are now counted per organization, with additional domains billed at \$0.25 per domain per month.
[Read the compute documentation](/compute#scale-to-zero) to learn more.
## Managed Queues
Managed queues are now generally available. Laravel Cloud provisions the queue, runs workers on dedicated instances, and automatically scales them based on the work waiting to be processed — including scaling to zero when your queue is idle, so you only pay for compute when jobs are actually running.
Each managed queue is independent, with its own pool of workers, instance size, and scaling configuration. You also get a built-in failed jobs dashboard with retry tooling, so background work is isolated from your web traffic and easy to operate.
[Read the queues documentation](/queues#managed-queues) to learn more.
## HTTP Basic Authentication
Protect staging environments, preview environments, private demo environments, etc with HTTP basic authentication. When enabled, visitors must enter the username `admin` and the environment password before traffic reaches your application.
This feature is available on the Growth plan or higher, and can help prevent unauthorized visitors or automated bots from waking hibernating environments.
[Read the environment documentation](/environments#http-basic-authentication) to learn more.
## Roles & Permissions
Give every member of your organization the right level of access with role-based access control. Basic RBAC is available on every plan with a set of predefined team roles designed to match how most teams already work.
On the Business and Enterprise plans, Advanced RBAC unlocks custom roles, application and environment-level access, and the new Restricted role — perfect for contractors, auditors, or teammates who should only see a specific slice of your organization.
[Read the roles and permissions documentation](/rbac) to learn more.
## Dedicated Edge Network Enhancements
Catch the traffic costing you money or causing problems. Surface top IPs and paths at your edge, turn them into firewall or cache rules in a click, and watch each rule take effect in real time.
## Mobile Cloud is Here
The Laravel Cloud experience is now fine-tuned for any screen. Move between environments, manage resources, watch deployments, and ship releases from wherever you are. Perfect for on-the-go deployments and AI workflows.
## Redesigned Usage Page
The Usage page has been redesigned to make it easier to understand what your organization is spending and where that spend is coming from.
You can now review a cleaner summary of your current spend, bandwidth usage, credits, and billing alerts, then drill down into resource costs and application-level compute usage by environment. The new layout also makes it easier to spot the clusters, resources, and add-ons contributing to your bill during the selected billing period.
[Read the usage documentation](/usage) to learn more.
## Scheduled Autoscaling
Scheduled autoscaling is now available on the Business and Enterprise plans. You can create one-time or recurring schedules that temporarily adjust your minimum and maximum replicas, as well as your CPU and memory thresholds, before predictable traffic arrives.
This makes it easy to prepare for launches, promotions, business hours, and other recurring traffic patterns without manually changing your baseline scaling settings. Each schedule uses its own timezone, and Laravel Cloud automatically applies the one that matches the current time.
[Read the compute documentation](/compute#scheduled-autoscaling) to learn how to configure scheduled autoscaling.
## Sign In with GitHub
GitHub SSO is here. Sign in or create your account with GitHub, and since we already use that connection for source control, your repos come with you. Go from sign-up to first deploy faster than ever.
## Try Laravel Cloud for Free
Start shipping on Laravel Cloud with \$5 in free usage credits, automatically applied to your account the moment you sign up. Deploy your first applications, spin up databases, caches, and more, on us.

Credits are valid for 14 days. When they run out or expire, you'll simply be billed for what you use.
[Sign up](https://cloud.laravel.com/sign-up) or [read the docs](/free-trial) to learn more.
## Same Git Account, Multiple Organizations and Users
Git connections are now stored per user instead of per organization. The same Git account can be connected to multiple Cloud users and organizations at once.
* **One user, many orgs.** Connect once and use your Git account across every organization you belong to.
* **One git account, many Cloud users.** Connect the same git provider (e.g. your personal GitHub) to multiple Cloud user accounts. Each Cloud account and org stays separate, but they can all use the same git source.
To use the new model, reconnect from your organization's git provider settings. [Learn more about source control connections](/source-control).
## Laravel Cloud API: Programmable Infra for Teams and AI Agents
You can now manage your entire Laravel Cloud infrastructure programmatically with the Laravel Cloud API. Our API covers deployments, environments, databases, caches, object storage, and scaling for CI/CD integration, infrastructure-as-code workflows, and AI agents that provision resources or query status on your behalf. [Explore the API documentation](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/api/introduction).
## New CLI: Deploy and Manage from Your Terminal
You can now run and script Laravel Cloud operations directly from the command line. The CLI provides smart defaults for quick setup and full control when you need it. [Learn more in the CLI documentation](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/api/cli).
## MySQL 8.0 End of Life: Upgrade to 8.4
If your application is currently running on Laravel MySQL 8.0, please be aware that our MySQL 8.0 database version will reach end of life in April 2026 and will no longer receive security updates.
To keep your database and application safe, we recommend upgrading to MySQL 8.4.
MySQL 8.4 is the current long-term support release and ensures continued security updates, performance improvements, and long-term stability for your workloads on Laravel Cloud.
Before upgrading, be sure to create a backup of your database.
For complete upgrade instructions and guidance, please [visit the documentation](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/knowledge-base/upgrade-mysql-to-84). For additional context and walkthroughs, you can also watch this [Laravel Cloud Office Hours](https://www.youtube.com/live/S0DQmy8sBkY?si=JRmOqIHOSaRBAjpY) session.
To avoid thinking about this in the future, we also recommend [setting up a maintenance window](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/resources/databases/laravel-mysql#maintenance-window) for your database. This allows Laravel Cloud to apply updates automatically at a time that works for you, so you can concentrate on shipping.
* Sign in with Google SSO
* Redesigned navigation
* RDS Replicas, Postgres, Mysql now available for Private Cloud
* File explorer for bucket storage
## Cloud API Expanded: Databases, Caches, Buckets, and WebSockets
The Laravel Cloud API now supports additional resources, including database clusters, caches, object storage buckets (and keys), and WebSocket clusters and applications. This expansion gives you programmatic access to more of your infrastructure, enabling you to automate provisioning, integrate Cloud into your CI/CD pipelines, and build custom tooling around your deployment workflows.
Check out the [API documentation](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/api/introduction) to explore the available endpoints and learn how to get started.

## New Pricing
We’ve updated Laravel Cloud’s pricing plans. Starting on August 13, the Starter (formerly Sandbox), Growth (formerly Production), and Business plans now offer smarter usage-based billing and richer defaults like custom domains on Starter and Pro-class compute on Growth and Business. Bandwidth now scales with compute usage and is shared across environments, making billing more transparent and aligned with actual value.
[Learn more about the new pricing](https://blog.laravel.com/laravel-cloud-more-features-smarter-pricing)
## Smart Autoscaling with Queue Clusters
Queue clusters have been deprecated. Please see [Managed queues](/queues#managed-queues).
Laravel Cloud now supports a third cluster type (in addition to [App and Worker clusters](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/compute)) built specifically for queue workloads. Available for testing in developer preview, these Queue clusters fully manage and autoscale Laravel queue workers, tracking CPU, memory, job throughput, and backlog in real time to determine how many workers and replicas your application needs.
Autoscaling is latency‑driven: when queue wait time exceeds your threshold, capacity is automatically added, and once latency improves, the cluster scales back to reduce cost. This removes the guesswork of sizing queue workers manually while optimizing for both performance and savings.
[Read the docs](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/queues)
## Laravel Cloud Is Now SOC2 Compliant
SOC 2 Type 2 is a compliance framework created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates how organizations secure and protect customer data. The framework consists of five Trust Services Categories (TSCs) with specific criteria for assessing an organization's controls and service commitments.
Laravel Cloud has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 attestation for Security, Confidentiality, and Availability.
More information is available at [trust.laravel.com](http://trust.laravel.com/).
## New Region: Welcome, Sydney!

Automated daily backups are included, with retention configurable up to 30 days for standard plans and extended retention available on Enterprise plans.
[Read the docs](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/resources/databases/laravel-mysql)
## Automated preview environments
Preview environments are now available on [Growth, Business, and Enterprise plans](https://cloud.laravel.com/pricing). For every pull request, Laravel Cloud automatically spins up a fully isolated production‑like environment. You can mirror your live app using either shared or dedicated databases, configure filters to limit previews by branch or PR, and run custom deploy steps such as migrations or seeders.
Auto‑cleanup can be enabled to delete environments when PRs close or merge, so you only pay for active environments. These features help you catch bugs early, collaborate across teams, demo confidently, and ship with certainty.
[Read the docs](https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/environments#preview-environments)
## Ship Faster With the New Starter Kits
You can now deploy production‑ready Laravel applications in under five minutes using the new official [Laravel Starter Kits](https://laravel.com/starter-kits) for Laravel, Livewire, React, and Vue. Select a stack, choose a region, customize repository name and visibility, and Laravel Cloud handles the repo creation, deployment configuration, and infrastructure setup.
All templates come directly from Laravel’s [official GitHub](https://github.com/laravel/laravel). No existing repository is required. This greatly simplifies launching demos, prototypes, or new apps without setup friction.
Learn more about the [Laravel Starter Kits](https://youtu.be/y2FfKwcK_iU)
* Improved repo searching when creating new apps
* Added 6-hour period option for metrics viewing

This new integration runs Nightwatch across all your App and Worker clusters and automatically injects the correct `.env` settings so you can get up and running (or edit your sampling threshold) faster.
[Start monitoring with Nightwatch](https://nightwatch.laravel.com/sign-up)
## Under Attack Mode
We’ve enhanced DDoS protection with an optional Under Attack Mode you can enable during periods of unusual traffic. While DDoS attacks are automatically detected and mitigated, this mode provides an additional layer of protection when you want to safeguard your app proactively.
When active, access to your app is restricted, and visitors are presented with a JavaScript challenge before they can reach your app. The feature automatically expires after 24 hours to help prevent unintentional enablement. To enable Under Attack Mode, head to your environment, click on Network, and then Web Application Firewall settings.
[Learn how to set up Under Attack Mode](/network#under-attack-mode)
## Improved Metrics and Charts
We’ve updated our metrics to offer a more detailed and granular view of resource usage. CPU and memory charts have been refined to highlight trends and spikes, enabling more informed decisions about scaling and optimization. For example, memory charts now display total cache storage usage instead of average cache usage, meaning that if you have one or more replicas, you will now see each replica’s memory usage instead of the average memory.
[Check your app's performance](https://cloud.laravel.com/sign-in)
## MySQL Metrics Land as GA Nears
You can now view real-time CPU, memory, and storage metrics for your MySQL databases. Navigate to your environment, click Resources, and then hit the Cluster card to see all metrics. This addition gives you a fuller picture of database performance and is one of several steps we’re taking as we move closer to MySQL's general availability. If you're using MySQL in Laravel Cloud, this brings deeper visibility and greater operational confidence.
[Check your MySQL database performance](https://cloud.laravel.com/sign-in)
* New 500gb cache type
* Added notifications to command palette
* Archive MySQL databases
* Improved Slack notifications adding MySQL and Cache alerts
* Improved speed on environments page
* Cache and Database dialog minor fixes
* Fix HTTP timeout validation message
## Visualize Replica Count
You can now view a replica count chart in your environment’s Metrics tab that shows exactly when autoscaling occurs in your Laravel Cloud applications. The step chart visualizes how each of your App and Worker clusters scale from one to multiple replicas. You can also see when your application was scaled to zero and not incurring compute usage costs due to being stopped manually or hibernating automatically (requires Hibernation to be toggled on). This update helps provide clearer performance and billing insights for each of your Cloud environments.
[View your replica metrics](https://cloud.laravel.com/to/org/applications)
## More Flexible Caching
Laravel Cloud’s Redis-compatible key-value stores can now be configured to scale up automatically when usage limits are met. Instead of hard limits that could lead to downtime and require manual intervention, caches can now upsize with zero downtime as they approach monthly data transfer or usage thresholds such as simultaneous connections, commands per second, record size, and request size. Opt in to auto-upsizing by toggling on the “Automatically Upgrade” option of your new or existing Laravel Cloud caches.
[Learn more about Laravel Cloud caches](/resources/caches#auto-upgrade)
## Slack Alerts
[Slack notifications](/notifications) now include a new “Resource Alerts” category for critical runtime issues. You’ll receive real-time alerts anytime CPU, RAM, or disk usage nears its limit or when your compute crashes, making it easier to identify and respond to issues quickly. Set up Slack notifications in Laravel Cloud and opt in to Resource Alerts to make sure you are the first to know when your applications are at risk of downtime or performance degradation.
[Connect Slack to Laravel Cloud](https://cloud.laravel.com/to/org/settings/notifications)
* Show total cache storage usage instead of average cache usage
* Tooltips for identifiers in usage section
* Added source control disconnected notification
* Updated usage to include resource identifiers

* Fixed average calculation on replica count chart
* Fixed network settings blank screen
## Slack Notifications
Connect Laravel Cloud to your Slack workspace to receive notifications about your organization and application. Organization settings include notifications about resources (new database, new application, etc.) and membership requests. Application settings include notifications about deployment success, environment settings, domain verification and more. You can configure application and organization notification to go to specific channels. [Connect your Slack workspace to Laravel Cloud](https://cloud.laravel.com/to/org/settings/notifications)
## Improved Usage Page
The Usage page now includes an Allowances tab that shows your overall utilization of your plan's included usage. The Applications tab now also includes bandwidth usage (requests & data transfer) for each application. Paired with Invoice Previews, you can now deeply understand usage across your applications. [View Your Usage](https://cloud.laravel.com/to/org/usage/applications)
## Pricing Calculator
Our pricing calculator allows you to estimate your costs on Laravel Cloud, before you even start deploying. Choose from our preset options (personal blog, SaaS app, etc) or customize everything and choose the compute and resources that work best for your application. [Try the pricing calculator](https://cloud.laravel.com/pricing/calculator)
## Greater Cache & Response Header Control
You now have greater control of over your cache and response headers. All `Cache-Control` and `Expires` headers set by your application now be fully respected. In addition, you can choose when to purge your Edge Network cache - either manually or automatically on each new deploy. You can also choose to bypass the cache entirely. Finally, you can also override certain response headers like `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, and `Strict-Transport-Security` directly in the Cloud environment canvas. [Learn more](/network#cache-control)
## Flexible Backup Retention Window
Laravel Serverless Postgres now allows setting a backup retention window between 0 to 30 days. Previously it was a fixed 7-day window with no flexibility to change the window or opt-out. Choose a backup window that works for your application and save money on storage if your application doesn’t require backups at all. [Learn more](/resources/databases/postgres)
* Hibernation is now enabled by default for all new environments on the Sandbox plan.
* Add infinite scrolling for Logs.
* Introduced full page layout for database UI.
* Added organization restricted, suspended, and terminated billing states.
* Improved Invoice Preview UI.
* Individual chart lines on Metrics pages can now be enabled / disabled.
* Various logs UI fixes.
* Various source control provider fixes.
## Replicate Environments
Create copies of existing environments with all configuration intact. This is an important step towards the team shipping automatic preview environments. This allows you to quickly spin up testing environments, create staging replicas of production, or set up identical workspaces for team members. Replication saves time and ensures consistency across your development workflow. [Learn more](/environments#replicate)
## Stop and Restart Environments
Take manual control of your environment states with our new stop and restart functionality. Unlike hibernation (which happens automatically), this feature lets you explicitly pause environments when you don't need them and restart them when you do. Perfect for managing costs, scheduling maintenance, or controlling resources during your development cycles. [Learn more](/environments#stop-and-restart)
## Invoice Previews
Better predict your spend by viewing a preview of your current month’s invoice (to date). Previews include plan subscription, additional usage (after allowances), and discounts. [View Invoice Preview](https://cloud.laravel.com/to/org/usage/invoices)
## Inertia SSR
We now support the ability to serve [Inertia](https://inertiajs.com/) based pages via [server-side rendering](https://inertiajs.com/server-side-rendering). Inertia SSR pre-renders your HTML server-side before sending it to the client, which can improve your application’s SEO. [Learn more](/compute#inertia-ssr)
## Repository Connection Management
