Latest Updates

1 May 2024

• App Platform developer databases now default to use PostgreSQL 14 upon creation instead of PostgreSQL 12. You can create a database that uses PostgreSQL 16 by specifying the engine version in your app’s spec, like this:

      
          
              
  databases:
  - engine: PG
    name: db-example
    version: "16"
  
          
      
  

• We have added minimum and maximum values for the health check configuration parameters in App Platform. The new limits are:

  • initial_delay_seconds: Minimum 0 seconds, maximum 3600 seconds
  • period_seconds: Minimum 1 second, maximum 300 seconds
  • timeout_seconds: Minimum 1 second, maximum 120 seconds
  • success_threshold: Minimum 1 successful check, maximum 50 successful check
  • failure_threshold: Minimum 1 failed check, maximum 50 failed checks
