pgEdge/control-plane v0.8.0-rc.1

on GitHub

v0.8.0 - 2026-05-06

Added

• Renamed the server binary from control-plane to pgedge-control-plane to reduce conflicts with other system packages.
• Added PostgREST as a supported service type — Deploy the PostgREST REST API server alongside your database with automatic credential provisioning, upfront schema and role validation, and configurable connection pool settings.
• Added preliminary support for systemd as an alternative to Docker Swarm. This feature is currently in "preview" status. You can read more about it in the systemd page of our docs.
• Added the ability to run user-defined SQL scripts during database creation via the scripts field on the database spec.
• Added connect_as field for service credentials — Services can now explicitly specify which database user they authenticate as by referencing a database_users entry, replacing auto-generated service accounts with direct, auditable credential assignment.
• Added automatic role transfer when expanding a database cluster — PostgreSQL roles created outside the standard database_users configuration are now automatically transferred to new nodes when they join a database.
• Extended stable random port assignments to service instances — Ports assigned to MCP, PostgREST, and RAG services are now persisted and reused across restarts and database updates, consistent with the behaviour already in place for database instances.
• Added RAG as a supported service type — Deploy a retrieval-augmented generation server alongside your database with hybrid vector and keyword search, automatic credential provisioning, and support for OpenAI, Voyage AI, Anthropic, and Ollama providers.

Changed

• Breaking: The connect_as field is now required when creating or updating services of any type (MCP, PostgREST, RAG) — requests that omit this field will be rejected with a validation error.
• Breaking: Database, host, cluster, and service identifiers are now validated to comply with RFC 1035 name requirements — IDs must be 1–36 characters, contain only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, and start and end with a letter or digit. The combined length of a database ID and service ID may not exceed 53 characters.
• Removed the pgedge_application and pgedge_application_read_only built-in database roles — These roles are no longer created for new databases. The names are no longer reserved and may be used freely for custom database users.
• Promote Supporting Services from beta to generally available

Fixed

• Fixed port conflicts between services on the same host producing opaque deployment errors — Port conflicts are now detected at creation time and rejected with a clear validation message.
• Fixed extra_networks specified in orchestrator_opts not being attached to service containers (MCP, PostgREST, RAG).
• Fixed upgrade path from v0.6.2 — Databases created before v0.7.0 that were missing replication slot resources are now automatically repaired during state migration.
• Fixed embedded etcd clients connecting to all cluster members instead of only their own endpoint — This could cause connectivity issues when cluster membership changed.
