Roadmap

What's being built

Focused on making ephemeral dev environments faster, smarter, and more useful for individual developers. Priorities shift based on feedback.

Live now
7 items
9 environment templates

Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, MinIO, Linux, Debian, RHEL — ready in under 30 s.

Auto-expiring TTL

Environments self-destruct on schedule. Extend with one click before they expire.

Seed file upload

.sql / .json seed files that run against the DB automatically on startup.

Virtual networks

Group environments into named networks. Reach each other via stable internal hostnames.

Web terminal

Browser shell for Linux/Debian/RHEL containers. No SSH client needed.

API Monitoring

HTTP health checks with custom assertions, p95 latency tracking, and email alerts.

One-click credentials

Copy host, port, password, and full connection string instantly.

In progress
3 items
Idle-suspend

Containers freeze after inactivity, freeing RAM without deleting the environment. Wake-on-connect brings them back in seconds.

Infrastructure
Webhook alerts

Send monitoring alerts to any HTTP endpoint — Slack, Discord, ntfy, or your own receiver.

Monitoring
Richer activity log

Full event history per environment: create, extend, suspend, seed run, network join, delete.

UX
Planned
5 items
CLI tool (devctl)

Create, list, connect, and delete environments from your terminal. Outputs connection strings ready for piping into scripts or .env files.

Developer Experience
GitHub Actions integration

Spin up a fresh database environment in CI, run your tests against it, auto-delete on job completion. Zero setup.

Developer Experience
Scheduled environments

Spin up environments on a cron schedule — useful for nightly CI runs or weekly seed resets on a staging DB.

Environments
ORM-ready connection strings

Copy connection strings formatted for Prisma, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy, TypeORM, and more. One click, paste, done.

Developer Experience
SMS + Slack alert channels

Monitoring alerts beyond email. SMS and Slack channels for the Ultimate plan.

Monitoring
On the radar
4 items
Environment snapshots

Save the state of a DB environment and restore it later. Useful for resetting a test database to a known starting point.

Environments
Share credentials via link

Generate a short-lived share link with connection details — handy for sharing a demo DB with a colleague.

UX
VS Code extension

Create and connect to environments from within VS Code. Connection strings injected straight into your workspace .env.

Developer Experience
Custom subdomain per environment

Access environments at predictable URLs like db-name.devplat.io instead of random host:port pairs.
