This week we shipped Object Storage, Dockerfile-free builds for most popular languages and frameworks, separate disk scaling, and a clearer billing page.

Object Storage

Object Storage is now available to everyone in the dashboard and via the Sliplane API.

You get 250 GB for 5 euros/month, excluding tax, with unlimited buckets, no API charges, and no ingress or egress fees. So you can store uploads, backups, generated files, and app assets without trying to guess what request or bandwidth fees will do to your bill.

Builds Without a Dockerfile

You no longer need a Dockerfile for most apps. Sliplane can now detect the build steps needed for popular languages and frameworks using Railpack.

If your repo has a railpack.json, we'll use it too. That gives you an easy path for custom build behavior without writing and maintaining a full Dockerfile.

Separate Disk Scaling

You can now scale disk independently from the rest of your server. Need more storage but not more CPU or RAM? Just increase the disk.

And as always with scaling on Sliplane, this happens with zero downtime. Your app keeps running while the disk grows.

Clearer Billing

Billing is a lot more transparent now. The Billing page now shows a better breakdown of what you're being charged for, plus the bill for your current active period.

That should make it much easier to see where costs come from before the invoice lands.

That's it for this week. 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 week,

Jonas
