dFlow Cloud v0.6.0 is here

A More Powerful, Flexible, and Refined Application Experience

This release focuses on rethinking how applications are created, managed, and scaled. With a redesigned application flow, improved infrastructure controls, and enhanced deployment flexibility, v0.6.0 brings a smoother and more powerful experience across the platform.

Highlights

• A completely refined Application experience
• Introduction of Applications (New) alongside Projects (Legacy)
• Improved Worker Node purchasing and billing transparency
• New file-based deployment support
• Enhanced infrastructure management and scaling controls

Applications (New) - A Fresh Start

We’ve introduced a brand-new Applications (New) tab, while still supporting the Projects (Legacy) tab during the transition period.

⚠️ The legacy Projects experience will be phased out in future releases.

This update is built on a self-contained systems architecture, allowing applications to be more modular, scalable, and easier to manage.

A Redesigned Application Creation Flow

Creating an application is now more structured and intuitive. The new flow guides you through each step:

1. Application Details
   Define your application name and description.
2. Environment Setup
   Choose from:
3. • Production
   • Staging
   • Development
   • Or create a custom environment
3. Compute Selection
   Select:
4. • dFlow-managed compute
   • Or your own custom compute
4. Deployment Constraint
5. • Each environment supports one server
   • Multiple environments can exist within a single application

This structured approach ensures clarity while maintaining flexibility for complex setups

Worker Node Purchase - Clearer Than Ever

We’ve improved the Worker Node purchasing experience to make billing and infrastructure decisions more transparent.

• Detailed order summaries
• Clear pricing previews
• Better subscription visibility

This ensures you know exactly what you're provisioning before committing.

File-Based Deployment Support

You can now deploy services using file uploads, making it easier to get started quickly without external integrations.

Supported Options:

• Drag & drop files
• Click to upload

Accepted Formats:

• .zip
• .tar
• .tar.gz
• Size: 1 KB – 30 MB

⚠️ Files are not saved until you click Save

This adds a fast and flexible deployment path alongside existing methods
