Schedule API calls to app routes. Calls can be set up to run repeatedly on schedule with cron expressions or to run once at a specific second.
- Single second resolution - tasks run exactly at the specified time
- Timezone handling - just works, no need to use UTC or adjust for daylight savings
Try it on an app's Cron tab
Apps can now store files and data using the powerful AWS S3 and DynamoDB
File Storage: Each app gets it's own S3 bucket that can be used with any s3-compatible SDK
Database: The DynamoDB feature preview is now enabled for all apps. Each app gets a table that can be used directly or with the Cyclic SDK.
Check it out the Data/Storage tab on an app's dashboard.
Join our Discord - we're excited to hear what you build
Rolling out weekly traffic summaries for all apps. You should be seeing emails with a breakdown of the week's traffic by app.
Also this week, improved deploy and repo linking flow - deploys should be even faster and more reliable.
Come hang with us on discord - https://discord.cyclic.app/
You can now use your own domain for apps!
Cyclic will issue an SSL certificate for your domain and validation records for you to enter into your DNS.
Check it out on the Advanced tab

We have increased the disk space available during build time. The limit is now 10GB. Your build artifact still needs to be < 240MB but all your devDependencies and interim build files can be much larger. Hopefully builds of heavier frameworks are now easier. Let us know what you think! 🚛
New DevOps stuff today!
Deployments tab
- Roll back your apps to previously deployed versions
- UI Improvements
Environments tab
- Customize which GitHub branch will trigger automatic deployments on the Environments tab
- You can now lock the environment to stop automatic deployments
The Cyclic AWS DynamoDB database SDK is now available publicly on npm and GitHub!
- npmjs.com/package/cyclic-dynamodb
- github.com/cyclic-software/db-sdk
Databases are still in preview - let us know if youre interested in contributing to the SDK or would like to try the beta DB on a cyclic app.
Discord >> https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
Use the power and scale of AWS DynamoDB without the complexity
The database feature is coming for all apps, let us know if you would like try it in preview >> https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
Get started even faster by knowing exactly what to configure from the start.
When you first connect Cyclic to a GitHub repo, Cyclic will now identify environment variables that should be set.
Check out the new transactions experience!
- Detailed breakdown of each call to your app with request, response and corresponding logs
- Cool timeline driven query capability
- UI improvements
- 7 days of request, response and logs history
Let us know what you think >>https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
Auth is available for all apps!
You can now add authentication to apps with just a toggle.
- Set up path rules to secure specific routes
- Add multiple credential sets
Check it out on an app's Auth tab
It is now easier to set up your environment variables!
Check out the new Bulk Editor, you now can:
- Paste a .env file as-is
- Compose in a free-form editor
- Use simple key-value inputs
Tell us how it worked out >>https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
You can now delete apps. Go to the App > Advanced and scroll down to the Delete App section.
You will need to confirm that you want to permanently delete the app by typing the name. This action can not be undone.
See how many requests your apps are processing as you get traffic.
• Total request counts as well as average concurrent requests are now available on app overview pages.
Tell us what else you want to see >> https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
We just rolled out a change to the GitHub app integration that allows for publishing Deployments to GH. You will now be able to track deployments directly from your repo page. Let us know if you have any questions! 🤘
Lots of under the hood changes -
- Logs are even faster with almost no latency
- Re-Deploys have moved the Deployments list
- Faster handling of app exceptions/restarts, error messages from crashes are more visible
Tell us about your projects >> https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
App logs and build logs are now in color!
You can now chose from multiple backend and frontend app templates to get started. We have 4 now, let us know what you'd like to see >> https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
Cyclic now identifies the port your API is running on as a default. Another piece of config to not worry about!
We're really excited about this one!
In additional to realtime streaming of application logs, to further improve visibility, Cyclic will aggregate all of the data about each call to your app into what we call a transaction. The transaction consists of:
- the request and payload from the caller
- logs from your application (in COLOR)
- your application's response to the caller
Check it out on an app's Transactions tab
Let us know what you think- https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
- Changed the app console layout to have more room for activities
- Concurrent builds and deploys are now possible and (for practical purposes) unlimited
- Other tweaks and fixes under the hood
Let us know if it all works! https://discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
We have added an error page to the runtime to give you better feedback and developer experience if/when you have a bug in initializing or starting your app.
We have added a deploy notification into the website header to let you know when changes you pushed to github are ready. Let us know what you think. Cheers!
On the deployment log we have added status indicators to help you visualize your build progress. We also added improved error messages on build failures.
We have overhauled out install, build, deploy, launch life cycle for all apps. We now install dependencies including devDependencies, run a build script if defined and then prune devDependencies. Read more in the Cyclic build documentation
Happy coding!
A huge backend overhaul -
- even faster launch times
- global deployment capability
We can now launch your cyclic apps in AWS regions all over the globe. Multi-region apps protect you against outages and help you deliver the highest possible performance to your users.
Talk to us: discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
We have added a docs site! Check it out and let us what else you have questions about: https://docs.cyclic.sh/docs/intro
Cyclic can now go dark! The toggle is in the profile drop down. See everyone on discord.
A few highlights:
- re-run the most recent build+deployment on an app's Deployments page
- Bug fixes and UI enhancements
In Preview:
- self-hosting capability - launch and manage apps in your own AWS account. Talk to us about getting a demo: discord.gg/huhcqxXCbE
We've improved logging to fetch 15 minutes of past logs from before a log session has started. Try it:
- console.log() something in an api route handler
- push code
- navigate to your route
- open logs for an app
- see logs from the route
New logs will continue to appear in real time as the api is hit
We have launched a discord server. Come chat with the community:
We upgraded some colors and small UI/UX tweaks. Check out the new footer and social links. You can find us on twitter @cyclicsoftware
Let us know what you think. Cheers!
Cyclic is constantly improving. We've added this feed to keep you up to date on new features as soon as they roll out.
For enterprise customers we now support Multi-regional APIs in BETA!
Let us know if you would like to take it for a spin: hello@cyclic.sh
Cheers!
Why you should write MORE shitty code and feel good about it.
With users a product is alive and useful. Without them the product is useless.
If you have ever worked with AWS as a developer then you will know what I mean, AWS tools suck. They suck so bad there is an entire industry focused on solving for this pile of suck.
