Changelog Friday
Week of June 7-12, 2026
This week moved LayerRail from a compute console into a broader cloud platform surface: AI app endpoints, domain registration workflows, Azure-backed infrastructure, prepaid Game VPS subscriptions, and cleaner production operations.
New
AI Apps layer. Added a managed AI app surface for creating product-facing AI endpoints with prompts, model selection, API access, and project-level association.
App endpoint pages. Added endpoint detail pages with usage examples, API URLs, and responsive layouts for developers integrating AI endpoints into their own products.
Azure compute provider. Added the first Azure-backed compute provider implementation for new infrastructure deployments.
Azure deployment workflow. Added Azure production deployment support, including worker health entrypoints and namespace/autoload fixes.
Azure-backed Game VPS plans. Added Windows Game VPS plans backed by Azure infrastructure.
Prepaid Game VPS checkout. Added monthly prepaid Game VPS checkout through Polar, with per-plan product mapping.
Windows Game VPS access fields. Game VPS creation now collects a Windows username and password, validates them, stores the password securely, and passes credentials into provisioning.
RDP profile downloads. Game VPS detail pages now provide an .rdp download once the server has an IP address.
Updated
Lower VM pricing presentation. Adjusted Azure-backed plan pricing to keep entry plans approachable while Azure becomes the default provider for new deployments.
Compute catalog alignment. Updated the compute catalog to match available Azure SKUs, images, and regions more closely.
Longer init scripts. Increased init script length limits so larger bootstrap scripts can be used during VM creation.
Cleaner Game VPS labels. Removed provider-facing labels from Game VPS locations and image choices so the console presents LayerRail product names instead of upstream provider names.
Game VPS icons. Replaced the rocket icon with a controller-style icon across the sidebar, dashboard card, and Game VPS empty state.
Streak badge polish. Tightened the dashboard login streak badge so it is closer to a compact profile-style badge.
Brand assets. Added new LayerRail branding assets, including banner and logo package updates.
Cloud site study cleanup. Fixed product naming in the LayerRail cloud website study.
Fixed
Dashboard crash from missing icon names. Fixed invalid dashboard icons that caused 500 errors on project dashboard pages.
AI app project associations. Fixed AI app ownership and project association behavior.
AI app endpoint crashes. Fixed app endpoint show page errors and improved responsive behavior.
Linode PostgreSQL fallback. Fixed PostgreSQL size fallback behavior for existing Linode-backed services.
Linode provisioning hardening. Hardened service provisioning and improved failure reporting for existing Linode-backed Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and load balancer paths.
Game VPS checkout schema cache. Fixed stale schema cache behavior that could break Game VPS checkout after deployment.
