On March 24th, we’re rolling out a brand-new version of Garden Cloud on !
This update brings access to our Remote Container Builder, which can . Until now, this feature has only been available on our Enterprise tier—now, everyone can take advantage of its power and get faster builds.
We’re also introducing the new Garden Team Tier which replaces the current single-user dashboard and enables you to easily collaborate with your team and share test caches across environments.
The new Team Tier will look quite a bit different from the current version and come with new capabilities. In the first iteration, we’re specifically focusing on helping teams spend less time waiting on container builds.
With the new "Builds" UI, you’ll be able to analyze where your container builds are spending the most time. Plus, our Remote Container Builder allows your entire team to benefit from blazing-fast build compute instances, caching the results of the layers of your Dockerfile on low-latency, high-throughput NVMe storage.
We're also introducing team-wide Test and Run caches for kubernetes
actions that can be shared across Kubernetes clusters. Previously these caches were stored in ConfigMaps in the respective cluster and could not be shared. This approach also caused maintenance and reliability issues as the ConfigMaps grew in size. Now this data is stored hassle-free in Garden Cloud.
One temporary change to note: in this first release, command results and logs won’t be displayed as they are in the current version. But don’t worry—we’re working hard to bring them back as soon as possible! We’re a small team, and this approach lets us focus on improving the most impactful parts of the product first. We truly appreciate your patience during this transition. 🙂
In general we’re investing heavily in the new Garden Cloud product and you can expect to see rapid improvements. As much as we like the current version, it has always been a little underdeveloped and we can’t wait to deliver a polished and robust experience with the new one.
To use the new cloud version after the release, you’ll need update to Garden to version 0.14 and sign in again at . We’ll be adding more docs and content as we get closer to launch.
If you’re logged into using older versions of the Garden CLI, you’ll see a warning message saying that your command results won’t be available in Garden Cloud. Other than that, Garden will continue to work as expected—the only difference is that logs and command results won’t be visible in the UI.
Again, we’re actively working to restore this functionality while making the new Garden Cloud a vastly better experience overall.
