Changelog

​

🚀 New VS Code extension, Node.js SDK v4, stable types, and a completely rethought dashboard!

​

🧩 VS Code Extension v5

• Workspaces directly in the editor: the full workspace organization of your applications, previously available only in the web dashboard, is now accessible directly from the VS Code sidebar.
• Databases at your fingertips: support for MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, and MySQL inside the editor — view your instances and the overview of your data infrastructure without opening the browser.
• Environment variables: check and adjust your application variables without leaving VS Code. Perfect for debugging configuration issues in seconds.
• Status in the editor status bar: the state of your applications appears in real time in the VS Code status bar, without needing to open any tab or panel.
• More stable, more consistent: the rewrite on top of SDK v4 made the extension predictable, with a polished experience across all supported languages.

​

📦 Official Node.js SDK v4

• Databases (brand new module): list, create, and check the status of your instances. The new Database class gives you complete control: start, stop, update, delete, metrics, TLS certificate read, password/certificate rotation, and database snapshots with list, create, and restore.
• Workspaces: manage them entirely through code — list, find, create, leave, and delete workspaces, generate invite codes, manage members (add, update, remove, roles), and share/unshare applications.
• Environment variables: dedicated application module with list, set, replace, and delete — perfect for deploy automations and keeping environments in sync.
• Metrics and realtime: getMetrics() returns the time series of CPU, RAM, and network from the last 24 hours. realtime() opens a Server-Sent Events stream with live updates from your application.
• GitHub-integrated deploys: linkGithubApp(), unlinkGithubApp(), and current() to automate your deploy pipeline directly from the SDK.
• Application snapshots and restore: the old “backups” concept became snapshots across the entire library, with clearer naming and snapshot restore (snapshots.restore) — a long-requested feature. Listing snapshots in the user scope is also available.
• Edge analytics and Network suite: complete observability with errors, logs, performance, and cache purge, plus DNS data. purgeCache() was simplified and now clears the cache for the entire application.
• Platform health and new data: service.status() in a single call, new fields on databases (language, creation date), applications (domain, custom domain, creation date), and users, plus public error codes accessible via err.code (e.g., err.code === "FAILED_READ").
• Next-generation types and quality: consumption of the new API Types line (now stable), more accurate autocomplete, several bug fixes, and runnable examples ready to copy and run.

Breaking changes (3.x → v4): client.users.* became client.user.*; app.backup / app.backups became app.snapshots; app.deploys.list() returns Deployment[][] (use .flat() for the old behavior); app.network.dns() returns { ownership, ssl }; app.network.analytics() requires { start, end }; in workspaces, members / applications became memberList / applicationList; minimum Node is now 20+.

​

🔌 Public API and official types

• Revised and expanded OpenAPI documentation: we expanded coverage to more endpoints and enriched the schemas for applications, databases, runtime statistics, file uploads, and more. Descriptions, response messages, and status codes were reviewed — you spend less time guessing the format of a response and more time building your integration.
• New Network endpoints: focused on performance and errors, exposing data that was previously hard to access. These same endpoints power the new Network module in the Node.js SDK.
• Richer responses: workspaces and users now carry the join moment (joinedAt), runtime statistics gained more detail, file reading now handles UTF-8 content better, and descriptions were revised across multiple endpoints.
• API Types v1.0: stable types. The official API types reached their first stable version, with proper semantic versioning, full predictability for those who depend on them, and coordinated evolution alongside the simplification of the cache purge feature.

​

🎨 Dashboard

• New notification center with 1-click renewal: redesigned bell and notification system from scratch. When your plan is close to expiring, the notification itself offers immediate renewal, without you needing to navigate through several screens. Usage and expiration notices migrated to this new system.
• New plan upgrade system:
  • Upgrade at any time, including mid-cycle — the larger resources take effect immediately, without waiting for renewal.
  • Proportional (pro-rata) charge with preview before confirming — you see exactly how much you will pay, calculated based on the time remaining in your current cycle.
  • Plan transition without overlapping charges — the replaced plan’s charge is automatically cancelled, with a unified calculation for the migration.
  • Clearly identified invoices in the history and updated FAQ explaining how everything works.
• New credit card experience: redesigned flow, mobile-optimized, with 3DS authentication from banks when needed. Lighter loading and more direct form filling.
• Reformulated billing page: the old “invoices” gave way to the new Billing section, with much clearer history and details, identification of upgrade-related charges, and a dedicated tab for billing details.
• New pricing page and updated FAQ: clearer and more direct plan presentation, working side by side with the new upgrade system.
• Redesigned file manager: performance improvements when opening files and folders, smoother navigation, and clearer messages on actions like folder deletion.
• Improved analytics and logs: quick content copy directly from the table, making issue investigation much faster.
• New section on the Bots page, with more relevant information for those hosting bots.
• Translated DNS status in every language.
• Light/dark theme with several fine adjustments to contrast, icons, and logos.
• Broad mobile improvements, with online/offline status, snapshots, and deploy screens redesigned for touch.
• More robust automatic reconnection on real-time screens and stability fixes that make navigation feel solid overall.

New Snapshot System (goodbye, manual backups)

• Extremely generous limits: each plan can generate (RAM / 256) * 2 snapshots per day. E.g.: Hobby plan with 2048MB = 16 daily snapshots or up to 480/month!
• Instant and FREE restoration — recover any snapshot from the last 30 days in seconds. (gradual release for everyone in the coming days)
• Square is going against the market: no charges, no hassle.

​

Real-Time Configurable Start

• Forget redeploying just to change the start script (START field in your config file).
• Now you can edit the START line directly, restart the app, and that’s it. All in real time and hassle-free.

​

Advanced Databases (Redis & Mongo available!)

• Create your real database with just 1 click.
• Exclusive peer-to-peer certificate per database (no generic certificates). (mTLS)
• RAM and processing from your plan, with total dedicated performance for the database.
• 10GB of enterprise storage included with future expansion plans.
• Daily and automatic snapshots.
• Intelligent and proactive snapshot system: detects suspicious deletions and creates emergency backup (beta).
• No bandwidth limitation and up to 512 simultaneous connections per database.
• Certificate and password reset in one click.
• Databases already available: Redis and MongoDB — new databases coming soon!

​

Faster and Smoother Dashboard

• New “Settings” tab inside an application.
• Deploys tab moved to Settings → Deploys.

• New Pricing page and new page about Square Cloud Enterprise infrastructure and its exclusive plans (/enterprise).
• New Analytics tab (viewing new data and interactive charts), with extremely accurate and improved insights for websites hosted on Square Cloud.
• New application upload, more fluid and beautiful, with automatic detection of environment variables via .env file or internal context (automatic import). Oh, you can also paste variables using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
• The API now returns realtime records with surgical precision since the application start.

​

General Security and Performance Update

​

Security and Encryption

• Minimum TLS: We now require TLS 1.2 as the standard for all of Square Cloud, including custom domains.
• Custom domains: All custom domains have been configured to a minimum of TLS 1.2.
• Square Cloud proprietary domains: For anti-phishing domains and enterprise scopes, the minimum TLS is 1.3.

​

Log Management

• Application Log Limitation: The maximum number of logs per category (logs/crash) in .squarecloud files has been reduced from 10 to 5.
• Log Infrastructure Change: We have migrated our log infrastructure from Logtail (BetterStack) to Loki (Grafana).
• Log Coverage and Retention: We now log 100% of requests to our main infrastructure (API, Website, Blob, etc.), with a 7 times greater data retention.

​

Performance Optimization

• Asset Pre-processing: We have improved asset pre-processing in our infrastructure, resulting in higher processing capacity (throughput).
• IAM Optimization: We have optimized the encoding of each validation layer of IAM (Identity and Access Management).
• Blob Performance: Direct actions on the Blob are 20-35% faster, and full logging has been implemented.

​

API and Environment Improvements

• New Query for Application Status: The /v2/apps/status route now accepts the "workspaceId" query to facilitate state data collection.
• Clearer Error Messages: Environments now return specific error messages like "CONTAINER_ALREADY_STARTED" or "CONTAINER_ALREADY_STOPPED", instead of the generic "ACTION_FAILED", for direct scenarios.

​
