We’re thrilled to announce Autobase 2.4.0 — this release brings full automation for cluster scaling.
add_node - Add a new node to an existing cluster.remove_node - Remove a node from an existing cluster.In Your Own Machines mode, simply describe the new server in your inventory and add the variable new_node=true for that node. See examples here.
With supported cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner Cloud), it’s even easier: just change the server_count value (e.g., from 3 to 5), and Autobase will automatically create the required VMs in your cloud and add them to the cluster. See examples here.
This means you can now start with just one node and seamlessly scale your cluster as needed — fast, transparent, and fully automated.
While there are no visible UI changes in this release, the update ensures long-term stability, performance, and compatibility with the latest ecosystem. The console has been migrated to modern frameworks (Node.js 22, React 19, Material UI 7).
In previous releases, TLS was enabled for all cluster components using self-signed certificates. With this release, HTTPS support has also been extended to the Patroni REST API, ensuring secure and encrypted communication across the entire cluster stack.
Added compatibility with the latest enterprise Linux distributions - RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux 10 and Debian 13.
Autobase is now compatible with PostgreSQL 18, so you can take advantage of the newest features and improvements right away.
