🚀 Autobase 2.9 — Platform users & parameters

Autobase 2.9 focuses on the next step in the platform’s evolution: managing PostgreSQL infrastructure after deployment.

This release introduces platform users with email/password authentication, built-in management of cluster and PostgreSQL configuration through the UI, and a YAML editor with diff mode for advanced configuration changes. Together, these features make day-to-day PostgreSQL operations simpler, safer, and fully auditable.

✨ Highlights

Platform users & email/password authentication

Added support for platform users and email/password authentication. Each user can now sign in with their own credentials, providing a more secure foundation for multi-user access.

Operations now also records exactly which user performed each change, providing a complete audit trail.

Manage cluster and Postgres parameters

Managing your cluster is now easier than ever. Configure PostgreSQL parameters, pg_hba.conf, connection pools, and other cluster settings directly from the UI.

YAML editor with diff mode

Added a built-in YAML editor for advanced cluster configuration. Edit any supported configuration option directly in the UI, with a built-in diff mode to review changes before applying them. Available when expert mode is enabled.
