    ## Netlify Database is now generally available
    
    ](/changelog/2026-04-28-netlify-database/)
    
    April 28, 2026
    
    -   [database](/changelog/tag/database/)
    
    Netlify Database is launching today as a serverless Postgres database that’s deeply integrated into the Netlify workflow and upgraded from the beta experience to a full Netlify primitive.
    
    Netlify Database is designed to provide strong guardrails out-of-the-box when collaborating with team members and AI agents. For example, a marketing team member can start an agent run to suggest a feature that requires database changes, and then test the changes in a preview environment. A developer then reviews and publishes the change, and only then is the production database changed.
    
    When you create or update a project on Netlify using Agent Runners, your AI agent will automatically detect whether your app needs a database and set it up for you as needed. If you’re working locally, a database is provisioned automatically when you install `@netlify/database` and deploy to Netlify.
    
    Learn more about why we built Netlify Database and how it works in our [official blog post](https://www.netlify.com/blog/netlify-database/).
    
    ## What’s new
    
    Netlify Database replaces the beta Netlify DB experience that required an extension for the initial setup. The new experience is a native Netlify primitive, which means you can customize your database setup, choose your own ORM, and more.
    
    ### Pricing and availability
    
    Netlify Database is available for Credit-based plans only. When a database is active, it consumes credits for the compute and bandwidth used. However, database storage space (i.e., the size of data stored) is free until July 1, 2026.
    
    Different limits apply to your database depending on your plan type. Learn more in the [Plan limits](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/billing-and-usage/#plan-limits) docs.
    
    ### Usage meter updates
    
    To help you better understand how database usage works alongside other meters, we’re adding more context to how your usage is calculated and applied.
    
    We’re breaking down the Bandwidth and Compute meters to show you more granular usage for your team’s databases:
    
    Before launch
    
    After launch
    
    Bandwidth
    
    Bandwidth is now broken down into Database Bandwidth and Web Bandwidth
    
    Compute
    
    Compute is now broken down into Database Compute and Functions & Agent Compute
    
    Learn more about how usage meters work in our [Database usage meters docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/billing-and-usage/).
    
    ### Switching from the Netlify DB Beta experience
    
    If you set up a database using the Netlify DB Beta experience, which required the Neon extension, you can continue using it — Netlify will continue to support these databases. If you have a Credit-based plan, you have the option to [switch to the new experience](http://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/switch-to-netlify-database).
    
    ## Get started
    
    Get started with Netlify Database from your Agent Runners dashboard, favorite local AI agent, or CLI.

    ## OpenAI GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro now available in AI Gateway and Agent Runners
    
    ](/changelog/gpt-5-5-ai-gateway-agent-runners/)
    
    April 24, 2026
    
    -   [ai gateway](/changelog/tag/ai-gateway/)
    -   [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/)
    
    OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro models are now available through Netlify’s AI Gateway and Agent Runners with zero configuration required.
    
    Use the OpenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. The AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using the GPT-5.5 model:
    
    ```
    import OpenAI from 'openai';
    export default async () => {    const openai = new OpenAI();
        const response = await openai.responses.create({        model: 'gpt-5.5',        input: 'Give a concise explanation of how AI works.',    });
        return Response.json(response);};
    ```
    
    GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro are available for all Function types and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.
    
    Learn more in the [AI Gateway documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/build/ai-gateway/overview/) and [Agent Runners documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/).

    ## Rename an agent run
    
    ](/changelog/2026-04-23-rename-agent-run/)
    
    April 23, 2026
    
    -   [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/)
    
    You can now rename an agent run to more easily identify it in your list of runs and share it with teammates.
    
    Previously, agent runs were automatically titled based on your prompt, which made longer lists harder to scan once you had several runs going.
    
    Editing the title lets you give each agent run a short, meaningful name, such as the feature you’re building or the bug you’re chasing, so you can find it again quickly and send it to a teammate without needing to explain which run is which.
    
    ## Try it out
    
    Open any agent run, select the title, and type a new name. The updated title appears in your list of runs and anywhere the run is shared.
    
    Learn more about [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/).

    ## GPT Image 2 now available in AI Gateway
    
    ](/changelog/gpt-image-2-ai-gateway/)
    
    April 21, 2026
    
    -   [ai gateway](/changelog/tag/ai-gateway/)
    
    OpenAI’s GPT Image 2 is now available through AI Gateway. You can call this model from Netlify Functions without configuring API keys; the AI Gateway provides the connection to OpenAI for you.
    
    Example usage in a Function:
    
    ```
    import OpenAI from 'openai';const ai = new OpenAI();
    export default async (req, context) => {    const response = await ai.images.generate({        model: 'gpt-image-2',        prompt: 'Generate a realistic image of a golden retriever working at a tech startup',        n: 1,        size: '1024x1024',        quality: 'low',        output_format: 'jpeg',        output_compression: 80    });
        const imageBase64 = response.data[0].b64_json;    const imageBuffer = Uint8Array.from(atob(imageBase64), (c) => c.charCodeAt(0));
        return new Response(imageBuffer, {        status: 200,        headers: {            'content-type': 'image/jpeg',            'cache-control': 'no-store'        }    });};
    ```
    
    This model works across any function type and is compatible with other Netlify primitives such as caching and rate limiting, giving you control over request behavior across your site.
    
    See the [AI Gateway documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/build/ai-gateway/overview/) for details.

    ## New frontend-design skill for Agent Runners
    
    ](/changelog/2026-04-17-frontend-design-skill-for-agent-runners/)
    
    April 17, 2026
    
    -   [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/)
    -   [design](/changelog/tag/design/)
    -   [ai](/changelog/tag/ai/)
    
    Agent Runners now include a `frontend-design` skill that guides AI agents toward creating distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality.
    
    When building web components, pages, or applications, AI agents often default to generic, cookie-cutter aesthetics. The `frontend-design` skill steers agents toward creative, polished output that avoids that “AI slop” look and instead produces UIs with real visual identity and craft.
    
    Here’s what a generated calculator component looks like without the skill:
    
    ![Calculator without frontend-design skill](/images/changelog/frontend-design-skill-without.png)
    
    And here’s the same prompt with the `frontend-design` skill enabled:
    
    ![Calculator with frontend-design skill](/images/changelog/frontend-design-skill-with.png)
    
    The skill is automatically available in Agent Runners and activates when the agent is asked to build web components, pages, or applications. No configuration required—just prompt your agent to build a UI and the skill handles the rest.
    
    Learn more about [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/) and available skills in the Netlify docs.

    ```
    import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';
    export default async () => {    const anthropic = new Anthropic();
        const response = await anthropic.messages.create({        model: 'claude-opus-4-7',        max_tokens: 4096,        messages: [            {                role: 'user',                content: 'How can AI improve my coding?'            }        ]    });
        return new Response(JSON.stringify(response), {        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }    });};
    ```
    
    Claude Opus 4.7 is available for all Function types and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.

    ## New sorting and filter controls on the Members page
    
    ](/changelog/2026-04-14-members-page-sorting-filter-controls/)
    
    April 14, 2026
    
    -   [workflow](/changelog/tag/workflow/)
    
    Managing team members just got easier. The Members page now includes sorting and filter controls that help you quickly find and organize your team, available for Pro and above plans.
    
    ![New sorting and filter controls on the Members page](/images/changelog/members-page-sorting-filter-controls.png)
    
    You can now search for team members by name, filter by role, filter by project access, sort by last activity, and more — making it simple to audit access, find specific collaborators, or review who’s been active recently. These controls are especially useful as your team grows and you need more visibility into membership and permissions.
    
    These controls are available now for all teams on Pro plans and above. Head to your team’s [Members page](https://app.netlify.com/teams/~/members) to try them out.

    ## Netlify Database GA coming soon, no new databases for now

    -   [database](/changelog/tag/database/)
    
    The GA version of Netlify DB launches the week of April 20, 2026, bringing many significant improvements and it won’t require installing an extension anymore.
    
    **The move from the beta experience to the GA database experience is not automatic, and is not required.** We will publish detailed instructions for anyone wishing to migrate. There will be no required switch or migration, no loss of data, and no sudden charges for anyone using an already-created database with the beta experience.
    
    Starting today, April 13, 2026, you cannot create new databases using the beta Netlify DB experience. You can still claim existing databases to your own Neon account.
    
    If you created a database in the past week, recall from the [Netlify DB beta docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-db/#claim-your-database) that you must claim your database within 7 days through your own Neon account or the the database will be automatically deleted. Learn more in our docs on [claiming your database](https://docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-db/#claim-your-database).
