August 2026: Payment Methods, Team Transfers, and Managed Postgres GA

You can now add multiple payment methods, transfer team ownership, redeem credit coupons, restart a service without a full redeploy, and Managed Postgres has graduated out of beta.

Payment Methods and Credits

You can now add multiple payment methods to your team from the billing page, pick a default, and remove the ones you don't need.

We also rebuilt how credits work. Your billing page now shows your legacy balance and your credit grants separately, with the full history of every grant you've received. If you have a coupon code, redeem it from the billing page or during onboarding as the team owner, and the credit is applied automatically to what you run. If a coupon grants you credit, you can deploy paid resources on it right away, no card required until the credit runs out.

If your team has unpaid invoices, you'll see a banner listing every one across every team you own, each with a link straight to your billing portal to pay it.

Team Ownership and Permissions

You can now transfer ownership of a team to another member from your team settings. Pick a collaborator, confirm by typing the team name, and they'll get a banner to accept or decline. The offer expires after 24 hours if they don't respond, and you can cancel it yourself at any point before that.

You can also make any team you own your default team. Your default team can't be deleted or transferred, so if you want to free up your current one, make a different team the default first.

Member permissions are no longer a single fixed role. You can grant "Manage resources", "Manage collaborators", and "Billing" independently for each collaborator, so you can hand out exactly the access someone needs.

Managed Postgres Is Generally Available

Managed Postgres, which we introduced as a beta in June, is now fully generally available. The "Beta" label is gone from the dashboard, and every team can create databases without needing special access.

Restart Services Without a Full Redeploy

Services now have a dedicated Restart action, separate from Redeploy, both in the service menu and on the settings page. It stops and starts your service without rebuilding it, so it's faster when all you need is a clean restart. You'll see a live "Restarting" status while it's happening.

We also removed a restriction that blocked pausing a service while it was unhealthy. You can pause it either way now.

Preset Warnings and a New Agent Preset

When you deploy a preset, we now warn you if your server doesn't have enough resources for it, comparing the preset's minimum and recommended CPU, RAM, and disk against your server (and how busy it already is), so you can deploy anyway or pick a bigger server first.

We also added the Hermes Agent preset: a self-hosted AI agent with persistent memory, skills, tools, and an OpenAI-compatible API. One click and it's running.

Connect AI Tools Without Copying API Keys

The Sliplane MCP server now supports OAuth, so tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and opencode can connect by opening a browser authorization flow instead of you copying an API key into their config. API keys still work if your client doesn't support OAuth yet. Check the MCP docs for setup steps for your client.

That's it for now. As always, if you run into any issues or have feedback, hit us up via the chat widget or at support@sliplane.io.

See you next time,

Lukas
