cliOne Deploy Command for Any Directory
pb cloud deploy reads the directory you're standing in, works out whether it's a PocketBase instance, a frontend, or a backend, and runs that deploy — same flags, same output, one less decision.
FeaturedplatformIntroducing status.pocketbasecloud.com
A public status page with 90 days of uptime history and an incident feed — built to keep telling the truth even when PocketBase Cloud itself is down.
featuresShip Schema Migrations to a Running PocketBase Instance
pb_migrations and pb_public now install on an instance that already exists — migrations merge, pb_public is replaced, and the instance restarts only when the schema changed.

featuresUsage & Performance Metrics for Every PocketBase Instance
Every instance, backend and frontend now has a Usage & performance page — disk usage, requests over time, median and p95 response times, and container CPU and memory.
