🆕 New Features
Redis support. TinyStacks now supports adding Redis to each stage in your stack. For more details, see our Databases documentation.
Multi-database support. After a stage’s initial launch, you can now add additional databases to a stage. For example, if you added a PostgreSQL database at launch, you can add a Redis instance as well. You can add one of each type of the data stores that TinyStacks currently supports to a stage. More details are available on our Databases page.

🆕 New Features
- Activity log. Our new Activity panel shows a list of all deployment operations, their current status, and the status of all nodes in your current configuration. Additionally, you can see the state of all environment variables in your currently running environment.
- New build and release YAML files. We’ve releases a new build.yml and a new release.yml file. The new files tag each of your deployments with the current Git commit ID. This enables easy rollback if you need to revert a change.
Customers who have build.yml and release.yml files in their TinyStacks-enabled repositories can check these new files in to pick up the changes. Customers who are using one of our supported frameworks (i.e., not hosting their own Dockerfile in their repos) will get this new functionality with their next deployment.
- PostgreSQL and MySQL read replicas. We now support adding a database read replica to your stack. This is a read-only version of your database that you can use to offload read activity to other regions, alleviating performance pressure on your primary database of record. Read replicas can be enabled on any new stage and in any region.
Enabling a read replica adds two new runtime environment variables to your container PG_READER_HOST
and PG_READER_PORT
(for PostgreSQL databases) and MYSQL_READER_HOST
and MYSQL_READER_PORT
(for MySQL databases).
- Log latest commit ID in Amazon CloudWatch. We now print the latest commit ID to Amazon CloudWatch. This enables better traceability and debugging in your CloudWatch logs.
🐞 Bug fixes & improvements
- Fixed an issue with using our sample repositories in GitHub organizations.
