blitz.cloud changelog

What changed on blitz.cloud, release by release: Pro, private apps, AI assistants, the App Store, builds from GitHub, databases and backups. Newest first.

Updated

The newest release, from 23 to 25 October 2026, reminds you by email when a Pro checkout expires unpaid, and offers to keep your busiest app awake as a Pro app from two more places: the trial reminder and the weekly note. An account whose first app has been live a few days now gets a nudge to add a second one, and choosing not to connect GitHub yet no longer leads to a dead end. Several fixes round out the days: a database that cannot start because your storage is full now says so, dark mode stops flashing white on reload, and more. Every change that affects what you can do is listed here, newest first.

For the current state in one list, see what's live.

23-25 October 2026

  • A Pro checkout that expires unpaid now gets one reminder email with a link back to finish it. Pricing
  • Trial reminder emails now lead with keeping your busiest app awake as a Pro app, at its real price, with keeping the whole plan as a second option.
  • The weekly note can now offer to keep your busiest sleeping app awake as a Pro app too.
  • An account whose first app has been live a few days gets a nudge to add a second one, with a few Store apps to pick from.
  • Choosing not to connect GitHub yet now offers an example project or a Store app, instead of a dead end. App Store
  • Picking a GitHub branch with no Dockerfile at its root now warns you before you deploy. Deploy a GitHub project
  • Fixed: a database that cannot start because your shared storage is full now says so, with the free way out, instead of pointing you to support. Databases
  • Fixed: the designer's Pro app line shows the price checkout actually charges.
  • Fixed: dark mode no longer flashes white for a moment on reload.
  • Fixed: a free app no longer wakes itself for a visit from a browser a year or more out of date; the page's "Wake it up" button does it instead.

22 October 2026 - Free-plan ad blockers get a nudge toward Pro

  • On the free plan, an ad blocker gets an hour after your first app goes live, then the dashboard asks you to allow ads for blitz.cloud or switch to Pro. Privacy
  • Installing an app from the Store now claims your address and starts the app in one step, instead of a second click afterward. App Store
  • When your first app goes live, you can invite someone to blitz.cloud and share it on X.
  • The Apps page with no apps yet now shows the app you came to install first.
  • Pro no longer sees Google's cookie consent badge in the dashboard, since Pro has nothing to consent to.
  • If your app has been online for a few days and you haven't been back, we now send one check-in email.
  • Fixed: a setting's name keeps the exact case you typed, instead of being forced to upper case; some images read settings case-sensitively.
  • Fixed: a MariaDB database whose first start was cut short now sets itself up again instead of staying broken.
  • Fixed: the Store's feed ad sits after the first row, and the Store home no longer shows empty category rows.
  • Fixed: the "any git address" option in the wizard now mentions GitHub too.

20 October 2026

  • Hitting your plan's one background part, or this month's build minutes, now shows a card with your own numbers and what Pro changes. Limits
  • A Pro plan whose payment failed now says so in your own language, with a button to update your card. Pricing

19 October 2026 - Domains are on sale, and apps can build on your own GitHub Actions

  • You can now buy a domain on blitz.cloud: search a name under Domains, pay, and we register it in your name and point it at your app. Addresses and HTTPS
  • An app from a connected GitHub project can now build on its owner's own GitHub Actions instead of waiting for one of our build servers. Switch it on in the app's Settings, or when you connect GitHub. Deploy a GitHub project
  • The App Store now suggests apps that people who run your apps also run, in a "Because you run..." row. App Store
  • When you cancel your plan, you can keep your busiest app on Pro or buy it a Pro app place instead of losing it. Cancel your contract
  • The Domains page suggests names from your own apps.
  • The cookie dialog is now Google's own, instead of Clickio.
  • Eight more App Store apps show their own screenshot now, among them WordPress, Immich and Umami. App Store

  • Fixed: the Apps page keeps its heading, "Host something new" and the search field when you have no apps yet.
  • Fixed: the morning mail about an overnight update comes only when the update failed; the rest are listed in your weekly note.

18 October 2026 - Pages for AI assistants, and private apps wake on a visit

  • Pricing, docs, guides, comparisons and app pages now also answer in plain Markdown, for an AI assistant that can't run JavaScript: add .md to the address, or ask for text/markdown. AI assistants
  • Fixed: a private app on your Tailscale or WireGuard network now wakes up when you visit it while it sleeps. Private apps

17 October 2026 - Faster builds, and your AI assistant can move files

  • Fixed: forms, uploads and calls to your app's own API now work when the app is protected by sign-in. They used to fail while the page itself still loaded.
  • Fixed: Home Assistant stays reachable after it asks you to confirm its October update; the connection used to drop after five minutes. Home Assistant
  • Your AI assistant can now move a file into or out of an app's kept folder. Settings and files
  • Fixed: an AI assistant's network tool answered with an error for every account; it works again.
  • Fixed: a confirmation question that never reaches your AI assistant no longer blocks the command it asked about.
  • A build of a large image now finishes up to 90 seconds sooner, and the steps most pushes repeat are cached between builds.
  • The time left on a build is now based on your own app's past builds, not everyone's average.
  • Fixed: a project's declared data folder is kept, and the app starts on the port it declares.
  • Fixed: a long app name no longer overflows the card when you pick your first app.

16 October 2026 - A welcome tour, and sign-in for seven store apps

  • The welcome tour now asks what you want to put online, then takes you straight there, and a "Make it yours" card helps you finish your first app.
  • Paperless-ngx, Open WebUI, Mealie, Vikunja, Linkwarden, HedgeDoc and Vaultwarden now offer a "Sign in with blitz.cloud" button that only lets the app's owner in. App Store
  • Fixed: starting the Pro trial with a card, and the Pro plan checkout, now go through instead of failing.
  • Fixed: a person mistaken for a program now gets a "Wake it up" button instead of a blank answer, and pressing it stays on https.
  • Fixed: the report form can be sent again.

14-15 October 2026 - Know before you install, and a way to report illegal content

  • If you are signed in and your plan is full, the install page for a store app now says so before the button, with the ways out: remove an app, make it a Pro app, or try Pro. If you already have the app, it says that too. App Store
  • The public cancel form now ends your Pro apps too, not only your plan. Cancel your contract
  • The free 14-day Pro trial is now once per person, even from a new account. Pricing
  • Fixed: a card-trial order step that hangs now says so after 15 seconds and offers a retry.
  • A domain's price in your account now updates within the hour after a price change, not the next day.
  • Fixed: Codex CLI can now sign in as an AI assistant; its sign-in used to fail partway through. Connect an AI assistant
  • Fixed: an app with a database that wakes up now waits for the database before it answers, instead of failing once.
  • Fixed: confirming your sign-up on a different device than you started on now works.
  • Anyone can now report illegal content on a new page, and a mail that pauses an app or suspends an account says which rule it rests on and that you can ask a person to look again. Report illegal content
  • Fixed: OpenClaw's control panel now opens directly instead of asking you to pair a device.
  • The blitz command and your AI assistant can now run one command inside an app. The blitz command
  • Every App Store app now shows its real logo, on its card and on the install page. App Store

13 October 2026 - ChatGPT sign-in fixed, and two fixes

  • Connecting ChatGPT as an AI assistant now works. Sign-in used to stop partway through; that's fixed. Connect an AI assistant
  • The App Store list now shows the apps most people installed in the last 30 days first. A search that finds nothing offers to look on Docker Hub instead, with what you typed carried over. App Store
  • Settings opens again for accounts with a Pro app. It had stopped with an error since Pro apps arrived on 4 October.

11 October 2026 - The Pro trial needs no card to start again, and six fixes

  • Try Pro free for 14 days starts without a card again. Add one anytime during the trial to keep Pro, or do nothing and it ends with nothing charged. Pricing
  • The Pro app add-on page now says what it already does: it lifts the free plan's block on search engines and lets the app use your own domain. Pricing
  • If you leave a Pro-app checkout unfinished, the app's page now offers to pick it back up.
  • A free app stuck on "Starting" for 3 hours is now stopped instead of held forever.
  • Passkeys work again in Firefox. Account security
  • Under "Connect GitHub", a line now says GitHub will ask which projects we may read, all or only the ones you pick, and that you can change that or disconnect later. Deploy a GitHub project
  • Connecting a device to your private network over WireGuard no longer fails to start. Private apps

10 October 2026 - Add a device to your private network without a router

  • The Private network page now has a WireGuard app card: add a device, scan its QR code or download its config file, and open your private apps from your phone or laptop without running a router or VPN server yourself. Private apps

9 October 2026 - Connect Codeberg, Gitea or Forgejo, and free background workers stop after 2 idle days

  • On the free plan, an app without an address that runs in the background now stops when nothing has happened in your account for 2 days (no sign-in, deploy or dashboard visit), instead of 7. We email you one day before, and one click on Start runs it again. Pro and Business are unaffected. Limits
  • You can now connect a Codeberg, Gitea or Forgejo account, not only GitLab: private repositories list, and a push deploys the app automatically. Deploy a GitHub project
  • When the free plan's one background-worker slot is taken, "Put it online" now offers to put the new app online as a visited app instead, or to upgrade to Pro.

8 October 2026 - Dockerfile port fix, and a polished git-address step

  • An app whose Dockerfile moves its web server to another port now starts on that port instead of getting stuck on "Starting". Deploy a GitHub project
  • The "any git address" step in the wizard now looks like the other options instead of plain text.
  • Pushing to a connected GitLab project now deploys the app automatically. Deploy a GitHub project
  • The live log on an app's page no longer fails with "too many open files" on a busy server. App status and logs
  • After a Pro trial ends without a card, the Apps page shows what changed for each app, with Pro's payment step already open if you want it back. Pricing

6-8 October 2026 - Build from any public git address

  • You can now paste any public git address (GitLab, Codeberg, your own server) in the wizard and build it. Root Dockerfile only; private repositories and deploy-on-push are GitHub-only for now. Deploy a GitHub project
  • A restart caused by our own node maintenance no longer counts toward an app's 15-restart stop and doesn't show as a crash.
  • In the "Put your first app online" wizard, the Docker Hub option is now "An app from Docker Hub" and the App Store option says "No code needed."
  • A new account can't claim an address that uses a well-known brand name or an explicit-content word. Existing addresses are unaffected. Addresses and HTTPS
  • Free apps' <name>.blitz.cloud pages now send a noindex header and don't show up in Google or other search results. Pro apps and your own domain stay searchable.

5 October 2026 - Finish an unfinished Pro checkout, and a more reliable GitHub connection

  • Settings now offers to pick up where you left off if you started getting Pro and did not finish.
  • Connecting GitHub no longer fails after a few minutes on the page, and a failed connection says why and what to do next.
  • More of the dashboard, among them the Pro-upgrade messages, the grace notice and the plan-switch comparison, now reads in German and French.

4 October 2026 - Payments open in a dialog, and a Pro app for one app on any plan

  • Checkout now opens in a dialog instead of inside the card, and offers every payment method you turned on in Stripe, not only card and Link.
  • You can now make one app a Pro app, on any plan: it stays awake, can carry your own domain, and its memory and storage don't count against your plan's room. It costs 1 EUR a month or 10 EUR a year.
  • The fix wizard's refusal messages now read in German and French too, finishing the dashboard's translation.

3 October 2026 - Choose an app's memory and storage size

  • Settings > Advanced now lets you choose an app's memory and storage size inside your plan's room, instead of one fixed size per app. Limits
  • An app's kept files can now grow past the 1 GB they started with.
  • A setting's value can now hold line breaks, so a whole config file pasted into the Environment tab reaches the app intact.
  • You can change a Docker app's image version from Settings without losing its address or other settings.
  • FileBrowser Quantum and SillyTavern joined the App Store. App Store
  • A Python app whose .python-version names a patch version now builds on that version, and a Python app with a Flutter folder is no longer mistaken for a Java project.
  • A crashed app's diagnosis now shows what we found even when no fix step applies.
  • More of the dashboard's messages, from build errors to refusals, now read in German and French.

2 October 2026 - A card at the start of your Pro trial, and domains that outlive their app

  • The dashboard's address is now dashboard.blitz.cloud. The old beta.blitz.cloud link still gets you there.
  • Starting a Pro trial now asks for a card; the trial stays optional when a card is offered, and names the day and price it first charges, with a cancel link. Pricing
  • Free background workers now stop after 7 idle days instead of 7 days without a sign-in. Accounts open before today keep the old rule for 42 more days and get a mail first. Bots and background workers
  • An app with an open connection to it now counts as visited and stays awake.
  • A domain you add now belongs to your account and survives if you delete the app it pointed at. Addresses and HTTPS
  • Pasting a ghcr.io or quay.io image now works the same as a Docker Hub one.
  • A crashed app's notice now leads straight to the Settings tab where the port is set.
  • The fix wizard now also appears for Docker and App Store apps, not only GitHub projects.
  • The onboarding wizard tells your picks apart on the welcome screen, and its last screen puts a ready-made store app one click away.
  • The Overview now tells you when a bot or background worker also runs in another one of your apps, and offers to turn it off.
  • Fixed a sign-in page that could load without its stylesheet.
  • A sign-in tab left open now starts fresh instead of showing a stale "expired" error.
  • A new cookie policy page is linked in every footer.
  • More of the dashboard's mails and screens, among them security, app health, plan, referral and lifecycle mails, the Pro-upgrade card and App Store listings, now read in German and French too.

1 October 2026 - The dashboard speaks German and French too

  • The dashboard now speaks German and French too, not only the site. A language switcher names your current language and remembers your choice.
  • A private or deleted GitHub repository is read as the project's own failure, explained, and not retried. Deploy a GitHub project
  • Before a build starts on a project too big for any builder, you are warned instead of watching it fail. Deploy a GitHub project
  • Sign-in and sign-up now fit a phone screen.
  • Starting a Pro trial says plainly that no card is charged yet. Pricing
  • No ad shows next to the Tailscale connect screen, account settings or the host wizard.
  • The status page no longer calls one server down an outage when it is only degraded, and a hung server or a database still starting no longer drags the whole status page down with it. Status

30 September 2026 - The free plan holds 5 apps, 512 MB and one background app

  • The free plan now holds 5 apps, 512 MB of memory, 10 GB of storage, one database and one of them running in the background; Pro and Business are unchanged. Pricing
  • Sign-up and sign-in now link to the terms and the privacy policy.
  • The Logs tab shows which log windows are open and closes the oldest one once the two places are taken; closing a window frees its place right away. App status and logs
  • Pasting an image that cannot run as a web server, or is already in the App Store, is told so before it starts. App Store
  • A docker app that crashes because it cannot write to its data path is told the path, not just "restart it and it works". Settings and files
  • The first getting-started email, with three one-click store apps, now arrives two hours after sign-up. Getting started
  • A build's log fills in while it runs, so a build machine that dies still leaves what it managed to print. Deploy a GitHub project
  • A failed build always tells you it failed. App status and logs
  • A build stopped because it tried to start too many processes at once says so, instead of blaming your code. Limits
  • An expired sign-in or verification link explains what to do next. Account security
  • Build logs older than 90 days (for versions no longer live) and the AI's working notes on old diagnoses are deleted on a schedule; your account's audit history is kept 3 years.
  • Closing your own account now also erases its stored price answers, invites, trial state and usage history. Account security

29 September 2026 - Programs no longer wake a sleeping free app

  • A program - an uptime monitor, a webhook, a script - no longer wakes a sleeping app on the free plan. Opening the app in a browser still does. Pro keeps an app awake for programs too.

26 September 2026 - every App Store app runs here

  • Home Assistant, FreshRSS, Stirling PDF and NocoBase run here now. They have to start as root, and apps can now do that inside their own sandbox.
  • Immich runs on Pro, with up to 2 GB of memory. Face and object search are off for now.
  • Stirling PDF and NocoBase start with a password made for your install instead of one everyone knows. It is on the app page after you install.

26 September 2026 - 12 more apps, among them WordPress and AI tools

  • New apps, among them WordPress, Open WebUI, OmniRoute, 9router, LibreTranslate, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, WAHA, Evolution API and Activepieces, run here. NocoBase is listed under "Not running here yet", with the reason. Each one was started on the platform before it went in.
  • A new category, AI & chat, for chat pages, AI routers, agents and translation.
  • Some apps now start differently from how their image says, because the image's own start needs root. 9router, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, WordPress and Evolution API install and start without you setting anything.

26 September 2026 - Out of beta, and copies of your apps' files on Pro

  • blitz.cloud is out of beta.
  • On Pro, the files your apps keep on disk are copied off our servers every night, and 30 nights are kept. You put a night back from the app's Settings tab, and the restore can be undone. See Pro

25 September 2026 - Uptime, error pages that stay yours, and monorepos

  • Each app's Overview shows how often it answered this week, like "99.8% this week" or "Down 12 minutes this week". We check every awake app once a minute. A sleeping or paused app doesn't count as down, and a check never wakes it.
  • Settings lists what you, your AI assistant, GitHub and we changed on your account, newest first.
  • When your app answers with its own error page, like a 503 during maintenance, visitors now see that page. Ours only shows when there is no running app behind the address: asleep, paused, starting, crashed or being built. If you prefer ours for your app's errors too, switch on "Our page for its errors" in the app's Settings.
  • The page at a paused app's address says whether its owner paused it or we did.
  • Build one folder of a repository: name it, like apps/web, under advanced settings in the wizard or in Settings. A push that changes nothing in that folder doesn't start a new build.
  • A sub-address with no app on it shows "Nothing here yet" instead of an error.
  • Outgoing traffic is limited to 50 Mbit/s per app on the free plan and 200 Mbit/s on Pro. There is still no traffic bill.
  • An app that mines crypto is paused before it runs, and its owner gets an email that names what we found.

25 September 2026 - 30 apps in the App Store

  • 17 new apps: Paperless-ngx, Actual Budget, Audiobookshelf, Mealie, Vikunja, Joplin Server, Forgejo, Linkwarden, Umami, Wiki.js, HedgeDoc, Planka, Docmost, OpenCloud, Wakapi, SilverBullet and Firefly III. Each was started on the platform before it went in.
  • Before you install, the store says how much memory and space an app takes, whether it uses your database, and "Needs Pro" with the reason when it doesn't fit the free plan.
  • Search finds apps by what they replace, so "Dropbox" or "Google Photos" turn up an answer.
  • Some apps bring a small cache next to their database. It comes and goes with its app and doesn't count as one of your databases.
  • After an install, the app page shows the first steps: where to sign in, and settings like Vaultwarden's admin token.
  • Apps that don't run here yet sit in their own section with the reason, instead of an Install button that fails.
  • The nine categories are named after what people want to do, like "Passwords & security".

25 September 2026 - Emails about your apps

  • We email you when a deploy fails or goes online, when we stop an app, when a restore is done, and when an overnight update ran.
  • Each topic can be switched off under Settings > Notifications, or with one click from the email itself. Emails about your account, security and billing always arrive.
  • News about blitz.cloud only comes if you switch it on.

25 September 2026 - AI assistants

  • blitz.cloud has an MCP server at https://mcp.blitz.cloud/<your name>. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can put apps online, create databases, change settings, read logs and add DNS records, with your plan's limits.
  • Most assistants sign in with your blitz.cloud account in a browser window, so there is no key to copy. Scripts and clients that can't sign in use an API key from the AI tools page.
  • Deleting, restarting and pausing ask you before they happen, not the assistant, when the client can show a question.
  • The AI tools page lists every app you connected, with Disconnect.
  • New page: connect an AI assistant.

25 September 2026 - Private apps

  • An app can be private: it loses its public address and only devices on your own network can open it. Switch it in the app's Settings tab.
  • Connect Tailscale by signing in with your Tailscale account, or upload a WireGuard config from your router or VPN server.
  • A private app keeps its own address, like https://immich.lena.blitz.cloud, with HTTPS. It then opens only on the devices in your tailnet, so bookmarks keep working.
  • The free plan connects one network, Pro up to five, each with as many private apps as you like. Private apps don't sleep.
  • New page: private apps.

25 September 2026 - The Pro plan

  • Pro can be bought in Settings, under Plan and usage: 5 EUR per month including VAT, renewed monthly, cancellable any time. Payment goes through Stripe.
  • Pro includes 50 apps, 4 GB of memory, 50 GB of storage, five databases with 30 nights of backups, domains you own, apps kept awake, three builds at once that go ahead of the queue, and up to five private networks.
  • Businesses can enter a VAT ID at checkout. Invoices, card and billing address are managed from Settings.
  • Cancelling works in Settings or on the cancel page, without signing in. Pro runs to the end of the paid month.
  • When Pro ends and an account uses more than the free plan includes, nothing changes for 14 days. After that the newest apps and databases over the limit are paused, never deleted, and they start again when Pro comes back.
  • When a limit is reached, the message now says what Pro costs.
  • New pages: terms, right of withdrawal and cancel your contract.

19 September 2026 - One app of several parts, and a way out of every failed build

  • A project that runs as several services, like a dashboard, an API and a bot, goes online as one app with one address. The API answers at /api, the bot runs in the background, and the parts update and roll back together.
  • A step can run before each new version, such as database migrations. If it fails, the version you had keeps running.
  • When a build or a start fails and our own retries are used up, the app page says what went wrong in one sentence and lists the steps that fix it, one button each: paste a key, set up a database, use another Dockerfile, or let us write one. It never makes up a key that belongs to someone else.
  • A build that can't find a file names it, capital letters and all, with the line that asks for it.
  • Builds come in three sizes, picked from what the project is, and run on build servers of their own. Pro builds go first.
  • Rename an app from its page heading.
  • Putting a database back to an earlier night can be undone.
  • Delete your account yourself in Settings, change the email you sign in with, and download everything we hold about your account as one file.
  • The Domains page reads where your domain's DNS is run and shows the records with that provider's field names.

18 September 2026 - The Activity tab, and putting a version back

  • The Deployments tab is now Activity: builds, versions going live, restarts, sleeps and wakes and setting changes, grouped by day, with filters for versions, problems and changes.
  • "Put this version back" works on the last 10 versions that went live, and the confirmation says what stays.
  • While a build runs, the Overview shows its steps as sentences, how long each took, and your place in the queue.
  • An app can be built with any of the project's Dockerfiles and started with its own command.
  • Bots and background workers run without an address, and never sleep.
  • A single request to an app can now be up to 100 MB, so larger uploads reach it.
  • The Domains page has a DNS records panel, marked advanced. Add A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT and MX records under your address, up to 10 per account. A record that would take one of your apps offline is refused, and the message names the app.
  • After you rename your main address, the old one sends visitors to the same page under the new one for 14 days. Nobody else can take the old name in that time. It used to stop answering straight away and stay reserved for 30 days.
  • Settings in your apps that contain the old address, like Ghost's url, are changed to the new one when you rename, and those apps restart. The same happens when you move one app to a different subdomain.
  • Connecting a domain you own is built and part of the Pro plan, which isn't on sale yet.

17 September 2026 - Sleeping apps, and Dockerfiles written for you

  • An app nobody visits for two hours goes to sleep and wakes on the next visit. The first request waits for it, about ten seconds, and then gets the app's own answer, forms included. Keeping an app awake is part of Pro.
  • A project without a Dockerfile gets one written for it. When that Dockerfile doesn't build, it's rewritten from the end of the build log, up to three times.
  • Apps update themselves overnight. When a new version doesn't start, the one before goes back online and the Activity tab says why.
  • An app that crashes 15 times in a row is stopped, and its page says so.
  • Typing a free <name>.blitz.cloud shows that it's free, with a button to claim it.
  • Each app's Overview shows requests and data served over the last week, hour by hour.

14 September 2026 - Build your own code from GitHub

  • Paste a link to any public GitHub repository in "Host something new" and blitz.cloud clones it, builds it and runs the result under your address with HTTPS. It does not have to be your repository.
  • A project with a Dockerfile is built with it. A project without one is detected and built anyway.
  • The build log sits under the Deployments tab, under the line it belongs to, and stays readable afterwards. A failure gets a sentence you can act on, with the raw log underneath.
  • The version running stays up until a new build works, so a failed build changes nothing.
  • The port comes from what the built image declares, and your app is told to listen on it.
  • Builds run in a sandbox with no access to anything of ours or anyone else's.
  • Connect your GitHub account to pick from your repositories, build private ones, and put a new version online every time you push.
  • Visits to blitz.cloud and the dashboard are counted with BlitzWorks' own Matomo in the EU, without cookies, with a shortened IP address and nothing passed on.
  • One cookie that recognises a return visit is only set after a yes. Allowing and declining are the same size and one click each, and the choice can be changed from the footer or in Settings.
  • The dashboard reports routes, not what's in them: Matomo sees /apps/:id, not which app.
  • Hosted apps can't send numbers into the statistics.

13 September 2026 - Databases and nightly backups

  • Create PostgreSQL, MariaDB or Redis databases in one click. They are usually ready in under a minute.
  • Apps that need a database get one set up and connected, with the settings they read filled in and shown before anything is applied.
  • Every database is copied off our servers every night. The free plan keeps 7 nights, and PostgreSQL and MariaDB restore with one button.
  • Databases are reachable from your own apps and from nowhere else.
  • Deleting an app asks what should happen to its database, with no preselected answer.
  • Each app keeps its own database, so two apps can't overwrite each other's tables.
  • MongoDB is not offered, and apps that need it say so before you install them.
  • Fixed: signing in could fail for a minute or two during a release.

13 September 2026 - App Store, settings and files that stay

  • An App Store with 13 open-source apps, searchable and grouped by purpose. Each card says what the app needs, and whether something about it doesn't work here, before the install button.
  • Encrypted environment variables per app, hidden until revealed, applied on restart.
  • Files that survive restarts. Each account has one disk and each app its own folder on it.
  • "Needs attention" shows why an app is unhappy, with its last log lines on the same page.
  • A deployment history for every app.
  • App Store apps get health checks that know what "working" means for them, and are restarted when they stop answering.

12 September 2026 - Hosting goes live

  • Put any public Docker image online under your own address. The wizard searches Docker Hub as you type and lists the real tags.
  • blitz.cloud works out the port, a needed database and the folders to keep from the image itself, with a language model filling the gaps.
  • A subdomain per app under your address, created, renamed and deleted freely.
  • A wildcard HTTPS certificate for every account.
  • Live logs, restart, pause and delete.
  • Plan meters in Settings that show the limits the platform actually enforces.
  • Every app runs in a gVisor sandbox as a non-root user.

12 September 2026 - Accounts and addresses

  • Open signup, no waiting list and no invite codes.
  • Sign in with email and password, GitHub or Google. Passkeys and two-step verification with an authenticator app.
  • Settings shows every signed-in device, with sign-out per device.
  • Claim your address with a live availability check. Rename it once every 14 days; old names are held for 30 days.
  • Signup is protected with rate limits and a block on throwaway email providers.
  • Fixed: account emails were not being delivered on the first day.

12 September 2026 - First version

  • The blitz.cloud landing page, the platform's control plane and its database went online, with wildcard HTTPS for blitz.cloud.
