Changelog - Freestyle

Apr 17, 2026

Custom VM Sizes, Git Speed Up, Universal Logs Dashboard and more.

This week Freestyle got faster and more powerful. We launched custom VM sizes which allow users to get up to 32 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM (the most powerful on the market by a factor of 2x) in 400ms. We fixed a series of bugs related to docker rate limits and scaling VMs. We majorly upgraded git with massive performance increases throughout every part of the system — the serverless APIs, pulls and LFS all saw QOL updates along with indexing that made large git repos ~7x faster. We also launched the universal logs dashboard which is a single place to see everything going on in Freestyle.

The specific public changes that landed this week are as follows:

Area	Change	Details
API	Custom VM sizes	Configure vCPU, RAM, and disk per VM up to 32 vCPUs / 32 GB RAM, still launching in ~400ms.
API	VM resize	Adjust vCPU, memory, and rootfs on existing VMs without recreating them.
API	Command timeouts	Set a max execution duration on commands; timeouts return HTTP 408 with any captured output.
API	Docker credentials	Pass `dockerCredentials` on VM and snapshot creation to pull from private registries.
SDK	Docker credentials	`dockerCredentials` available on `vms.create` and `vms.snapshots.ensure`.
SDK	Postgres integration	Declare a Postgres server, databases, and SQL scripts that bake into your VM snapshot.
API	Observability logs query	Query account-wide logs through the Observability API.
Dashboard	Universal Logs	Unified account-wide log view across every service, with service-level filtering.
Dashboard	Git repo search	Search repositories directly from the dashboard.
Dashboard	Deployment fetch	Fetch a deployment directly from the dashboard.
Dashboard	Easy clone	One-click clone command from the repository page.
Dashboard	Cron + deployment creation	Create a new deployment while creating a cron job, or select an existing deployment.
Dashboard	SDK playground	Experiment with the SDK directly in the dashboard playground.
Dashboard	Dockerfile snapshot creation	Create snapshots from Dockerfiles directly on the snapshots page.
Platform	Git commit indexing	Auto-generated after pushes — commit-history queries ~7x faster on large repos.
Platform	Git pulls & LFS	Throughput improvements across pulls and LFS transfers.

Git Search API, scheduled triggers, VM logs, and more.

After our launch on April 6th we got a ton of new interest and feedback from the community. This has been a week of targetted bug fixes, performance improvements and few new features. We focused on addressing concerns from users in our Discord and fixing onboarding pain.

This Friday we officially transitioned from the freestyle-sandboxes package to the freestyle package name. This will be our primary package going forward. bun i freestyle just works now.

The specific public changes that landed this week are as follows:

Area	Change	Details
API	Git Search API	Search across repositories stored on Freestyle, available through the SDK.
API	Scheduled Triggers	Define cron-based schedules that automatically execute your code on a recurring basis.
SDK	`skipCache` parameter	Skip cache on snapshot and VM endpoints.
SDK	Snapshot delete	Delete snapshots programmatically via the SDK.
SDK	VM logger	Built-in logger support for VMs.
Dashboard	VM Logs	View logs from your VMs. Filter by service name.
Dashboard	Usage & Limits	VM usage tracking with per-account limits visible in the dashboard.
Platform	Landlock	Enabled Landlock in the VMs kernel for filesystem sandboxing.

Coming Next

We're working rapidly on observability, documentation/sdk work and speed. We're upgrading our logging system a ton now and will soon have a unified logging experience across all services in the dashboard. We'll be exposing more tools in our CLI, SDK and API for understanding the state of your VMs, debugging failures and monitoring production workloads.

We want our SDK has the best support for complex usage patterns of agents using computers. To do this we're adding more integrations to support many common tools and services better in our VMs. We've revamped our integration architecture to automatically support docker-layer caching which should make all usage with it much faster.

Our median VM startup time right now is ~400ms and we hope to get that to <300ms by the end of this month.
