Improvements

  • We improved the layout and display of the Alerts page. The new layout allows sorting and filtering of alerts based on the severity and date together with a free text search.
  • You can now subscribe to alerts emails in the settings tab. For more information, see Alerts.

December 5, 2024

Improvements

  • We introduced cloud tokens for your cloud resource pack purchases! Starting now, you will use cloud tokens instead of cloud credits to complete your cloud resource purchases. With the transitioning from cloud credits to cloud tokens, Mendix is paving the way for a more streamlined and flexible approach to purchasing and switching between Mendix Cloud products.

API Retirement

November 2024

November 29, 2024

New Features

  • We enhanced Software Composition to include marketplace-related metadata. You can now view this additional information on both the All Components tab and the Deployed Package Details page for a more comprehensive overview of your components.

November 17, 2024

Deployment Portal Fixes

  • We fixed a bug in the Permissions tab of the legacy UI, where changing an application's technical contact resulted in a blank page.
  • We fixed a bug in the new UI, where the scalable tag was displayed for environments that were not scalable.
  • We fixed a number of other bugs related to dark mode.

November 6, 2024

New Features

  • Cloud permissions are now included in project roles.
  • You can now manage all project roles centrally, on a company level, if you have switched to using company-level roles.

Improvements

  • We have made improvements to the permissions tab. The Receive alerts permission has also been removed from the permissions tab. You can subscribe to alerts using the Email Alerts option on the Alerts page.

October 2024

October 17, 2024

Improvements

  • We have made performance improvements to Software Composition. Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) generated automatically upon the creation of deployment packages now show up on the Software Composition page within minutes.

September 2024

September 5, 2024

New Features

  • Deep links have been added to the Software Composition page to enable unique identification and easy shareability.

September 3, 2024

Improvements

  • Recently, performance issues were identified in the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation process, which occurs during deployment package creation. Mendix has resolved these issues, ensuring that SBOM generation and the associated Software Composition capabilities are now fully compatible with the following versions of Studio Pro: 9.24.26 and above, 10.6.12 and above, 10.12.3 and above.

    Previously supported Studio Pro versions (9.24.22 to 9.24.25, 10.6.9 to 10.6.11, 10.10.0 to 10.12.2, and 10.13) will no longer result in SBOM generation and visibility in Software Composition. To continue using Software Composition, upgrade to a compatible Studio Pro version. Any historical data within Software Composition remains accessible regardless of the upgrade.

July 2024

July 16, 2024

Improvements

  • We changed the Database Freeable Memory alert thresholds for the following cloud resource packs:
    • XS21: The critical alert threshold changed from 10% to 5% freeable memory.
    • XS20 (Legacy): The critical alert threshold changed from 10% to 5% freeable memory.
    • S (Legacy): The critical alert threshold changed from 10% to 5% freeable memory.
    • Strato (Legacy): The critical alert threshold changed from 10% to 5% freeable memory.

May 2024

May 14, 2024

New Features

  • We now use Arm-based AWS Graviton 2 processors for databases of new environments on all plans in Mendix Public Cloud for best performance. Graviton 2 processors can provide significant performance improvements over previous generation instances. For database operations, this means faster processing of queries and better handling of concurrent requests.

    Existing environments will not automatically use Graviton 2 processors for their databases. Graviton 2 processors will be used for new environments and those which are cleared, downsized, or resized.

April 2024

April 25, 2024

Metrics Improvements

  • Previously, the Metrics page displayed the Day period and the Application group of metrics when first opened. Now, the page opens to the last metrics period (Day, Week, Month, or Quarter) and group (Application, Database, or All) that the user selected. Note that the display depends on the user history, not the environment or app history. As before, the user can switch between the metrics periods and groups via the Period and Group drop-down menus on the Metrics page.
  • On the Metrics page, we now load each graph asynchronously instead of loading the entire page at once. This improves the user experience through faster page loading time.
  • We added a way to quickly scroll to the top of the Metrics page. Each graph now has a Scroll to top button ( ) next to it, which the user can click to directly reach the top of the page.

Deprecations

  • We stopped supporting the Application Container CPU Percentage alert, because it triggered too often to be useful. The CPU usage data can still be seen on the Metrics page.

March 26, 2024

Improvements

  • All databases of environments on eligible plans in Mendix Cloud (as specified in the table below) have been migrated to gp3 storage instances. Compared to gp2, gp3 provides higher baseline storage performance. For more information, see Database IOPS Burst Balance in the Metrics documentation.
    Storage SizeStorage Instance TypeBaseline Storage PerformanceProvisioned IOPS RangeProvisioned Throughput Range
    Less than 20 GiBgp2100 IOPS (3000 Burst) / 125 MiB/s100 - 1197 IOPS128-250 MiB/s
    Between 20 and 400 GiBgp33000 IOPS / 125 MiB/sN/AN/A
    400 GiB and highergp312000 IOPS / 500 MiB/s12000 - 64000 IOPS500 - 4000 MiB/s

March 7, 2024

Bug Fixes

  • We corrected some rendering issues in the Metrics graphs:
    • When there were some missing data points, all the existing data points used to shift to the left of the graph. Now all the data points display where they are supposed to.
    • The scale of the graphs used to change when there were missing data points. The scale is fixed now.

Improvements

  • To make it easier to reset the two-factor authentication settings when needed, we added a link to these settings on the Logs and Metrics pages. This link appears whenever you try to access a page that you need 2FA to view.

February 2024

February 19, 2024

Bug Fixes

  • We corrected one of the labels on the JVM object heap graph on the Metrics page; it shows survivor space rather than native memory.

February 8, 2024

Bug Fixes

  • We removed a blank line on the Logs page.
  • On the Metrics page, when viewing both the application and the database metrics together, they are now separated instead of presented together. The Logs page now shows all the application metrics graphs first, followed by the database metrics graphs.
  • The Environments drop-down list maintains the same sorting order as on the Environments page in the Developer Portal.

January 2024

January 31, 2024

Improvements

  • We added the AWS Osaka, Seoul, and Jakarta regions as new deployment targets in Mendix Cloud Asia Pacific.
  • We added support for regional fallback in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka).

January 18, 2024

Bug Fixes

  • We have fixed an issue with two-factor authentication (2FA) on the Metrics and Logs pages. The 2FA is now session based and not at the account level.
  • Memory-related metrics graphs now display in gibibytes (GiB) and not gigabytes (GB).
