Managed Databases, Raff Apps, Functions & VPN
Raff is now a complete cloud platform. Managed Databases with five engines, Raff Apps for running applications straight from your code, Raff Functions for on-demand compute, and private networking with VPN and peering.
Managed Databases, Raff Apps, Functions, VPN & PeeringFull notes
The largest release Raff has ever shipped. Three new products go live: Managed Databases, Raff Apps, and Raff Functions. Your private network now reaches everything you own: your office, your devices, and your other VPCs. And billing was reviewed end to end, so every charge, discount, and refund is exact.
- Managed Databases. PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, ClickHouse, and Kafka. High availability, automatic backups with restore, private networking, and per-database access control.
- Raff Apps. Run applications without managing servers. Deploy from a container image, a template, a Dockerfile, docker-compose, or straight from GitHub. Automatic scaling, custom domains, logs, rollbacks, and one-click connections to your databases and buckets.
- Raff Functions. Run code on demand. Write and edit directly in the browser, import your AWS Lambda functions in one click, and trigger on a schedule or on storage events. Spending caps are on by default, so a surprise bill is impossible.
- VPN Gateway. Secure WireGuard access into your VPC for you and your team. Five devices, set up by scanning a QR code.
- Site-to-Site VPN. Connect your office network or another cloud to your VPC over WireGuard or IPsec. Already carrying production traffic for customers.
- VPC Peering. Route privately between two of your VPCs. No extra hardware, no configuration on your VMs.
- Networking map. Your whole network on one interactive map: VMs, Kubernetes clusters, databases, apps, and functions, with filters and shareable views.
- Volumes moved to distributed storage. Block volumes now live on the same replicated storage cluster as VM disks, with higher capacity and durability.
- Windows has its own plan family. Windows VMs run on dedicated plans built for Windows workloads.
- Billing you can read. Every product shows up in your subscriptions with its real name, invoices name your coupon and balance instead of internal codes, and deleting any product refunds unused time automatically.
- Images moved into Compute. Your images now live in a tab next to Backups, where you actually use them.
- Discounts are exact everywhere. Checkout preview, charge, renewal, and refund now always agree. Coupons apply to the product you redeemed them for, and attached volumes and Windows licenses get their discount at checkout too.
- Windows VMs with a Raff license deploy reliably. A scheduling bug could fail creation after payment. Payments were refunded automatically, and creation is now dependable.
- Team members see everything they should. Invited members could hit errors in Kubernetes, VM tags, and Object Storage. All access now works regardless of role.
- Invitations reach every user. Pending invitations now appear in the dashboard no matter how you signed in.
- Purchases land in the right project. Volumes, reserved IPs, and buckets bought at checkout now follow the project you were working in.
- Function metrics count every request. Short-lived traffic was invisible to the charts. Usage and metrics are now exact.
Managed Kubernetes, Compute & API
Managed Kubernetes ships with a free control plane, the compute and VM experience is rebuilt, backups and snapshots share one free-storage pool, and the Raff API, CLI, and Terraform provider go live.
Reinstall OS, billing, and refund accuracy
Reinstall no longer touches your addresses, and every money path (refunds, deletions, email changes) now settles exactly.
Kubernetes firewall enforcement and backup chains
The cluster firewall now actually enforces, and incremental backup chains stop over-deleting.
Managed Kubernetes, Compute rebuilt, API + CLI + TerraformFull notes
The thing we teased in 1.4 is here: Kubernetes on Raff. We also rebuilt the entire compute experience, changed how storage is billed for the better, and opened the platform up with an API, CLI, and Terraform provider.
VPC Networking, Marketplace, Security & Audit Log
Rebuilt VPC networking with gateways, port forwarding, and security groups. One-click app marketplace, CloudTrail-style audit logs, and major compute UX improvements.

VPC, Reserved IPs & Subscription Billing
A new beginning for Raff. Simple subscription billing replaces top-ups, VPC networking isolates your infrastructure, and Projects & Team Invites let you collaborate.
