  Announcing Full Schema Creation: Provision complete tables in one atomic call

  Introducing a new Database feature called Full Schema Creation.

  With Full Schema Creation, you can define an entire table, its attributes and indexes, in a single, synchronous request. When the call returns, the table is immediately ready for reads and writes. If anything fails along the way, nothing is created. No partial schemas. No waiting. No brittle setup scripts.

  Fixed file token URL consistency for non-expiring tokens

  File tokens allow you to generate custom URLs for accessing files in Storage buckets.

  We've fixed two issues with non-expiring file tokens:

  • Unexpected expiration: Non-expiring tokens were incorrectly expiring after 15 minutes, despite being configured to never expire.
  • Inconsistent URLs: Each request generated a different URL for the same non-expiring token, breaking caching and causing unnecessary revalidation.

  With this fix:

  • Non-expiring file tokens now generate consistent URLs across all requests.
  • URLs remain valid indefinitely as intended.
  • Improved reliability for long-term file sharing and caching strategies.

  This update is now live on Appwrite Cloud.

  Database AI suggestions

  This release introduces AI-assisted schema generation to simplify database schema creation.

  What’s new:

  • Added Database AI suggestions in the Console
  • Automatic column and index suggestions based on table name and context
  • Added sample data generation when creating a new table, allowing you to quickly populate example records that match the schema
  • Example: Creating a table called Orders suggests columns orderId, userId, totalAmount, and status

  Benefits:

  • Faster setup: Define schemas in seconds instead of manually creating each column
  • Consistency: Field names and types aligned across tables
  • Best practices: Suggested indexes and common fields included by default
  • Flexibility: Suggestions can be reviewed, modified, or skipped before applying

  This update is available now on the Appwrite Console.

  You can now disable image transformations for buckets

  You can now disable image transformations for any storage bucket.

  Image transformations allow actions like resizing, cropping, and format conversion through the Appwrite Storage API. With this update, you have full control to turn off these operations when they're not needed, reducing the chance of unintentional processing or costs.

  This update is useful if you:

  • Want to avoid unexpected transformation charges.
  • Need to restrict buckets to serve only original files.
  • Want greater control over how images are accessed and displayed.

  You can find the toggle in your bucket settings under Image transformations.
