What’s New

As the Wappler 5 release is imminent, this is the final beta before the official release.

In this update we are presenting you the new resource Manager, now extended with full support of Managed Databases! So creating a new high performance and high availability database for both development and production is now just a few clicks away!
See Using Managed Databases with the Resource Manager

Furthermore we have also added Linode as supported cloud provider in the Resource Manager, so you can use it to deploy servers there as well.

We have also greatly improved server creation in the resource manager, now we start with bare bone Ubuntu server and automatically install docker to it for the most lean and clean installation.

But wait there is more!

We added a bit more finishing touch in the new Resource manager and fixed some last minute issues.

Resource Manager

  • Improved refreshing and install of brand new servers, even if Wappler was restarted or refresh was done in the mean time.
  • Refresh of servers (F5) now also checks if all the needed software like docker is correctly installed and mark the server as accessible.
  • Improved refreshing of the add and delete state of the main toolbar
  • Improved showing state of the database cluster after import
