Product Roadmap (Updates Pending)

Our new infrastructure platform is purpose-built for cloud hosting. Lighter weight and designed for multi-tenant, cloud native workloads.

Benefits:

• Run multiple Holochain versions side-by-side, eliminating compatibility headaches.
• Host non-Holochain workloads, opening the door for diverse applications on the same infrastructure.
• Improves network stability for hosts by removing common sources of local network interference.

Dedicated, full-arc nodes that ensure consistent data availability and reliability. Cloud nodes are the foundational component for cloud-hosted Holochain infrastructure.

Benefits:

• Enable lightweight clients: Allows end-users on phones or browsers to access hApps without running a full node, improving performance and battery life.
• Boost data resilience: Guarantees data is always available and replicated across the network, preventing data loss even if individual users go offline.
• Better offline support: Ensures messages and data are delivered reliably, even in sparse networks or when users aren't online simultaneously.

A RESTful gateway for retrieving data from a Holo-hosted application's DHT. An appropriate zome call must be available to call.

Benefits:

• Integrate hApps with the traditional web: Allows any web application or script to read data directly from the DHT via a simple HTTP request.
• Build hybrid applications: Easily combine the power of decentralized Holochain data with existing web frontends or backends.
• Lower barrier to entry: Lets developers test or display Holochain data without needing to install or run a node.

Initial launch of our RESTful API for directly managing deployments on the Holo Network, enabling integration with tools and automation.

Benefits:

• Automate your deployments: Integrate hApp provisioning and management directly into your CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Monitor your hApps: Plug deployment data and logs into your existing monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Grafana).
• Manage at scale: Programmatically control your Holo-hosted infrastructure, saving time and reducing manual errors.

The initial launch of our customer self-service portal. This milestone focuses account and API key management.

Benefits:

• Manage your account 24/7: A dedicated self-service portal to update your profile and billing.
• Secure your automation: Manage, and revoke API keys yourself, giving you full, secure control over programmatic access.

An open-source OCI compliant container image configured to run a Holochain conductor which also comes with a few simple command line tools to install and manage always-on nodes for Holochain applications.

Benefits:

• Run a stable, always-on node: Provide a reliable backbone for your hApp's DHT, ensuring data is held and relayed even when most users are offline.
• Run anywhere: Deploy on any hardware (like a Raspberry Pi or a cloud VPS) that supports OCI containers.
• Empower your community: Makes it simple for community members to contribute to network health by running their own always-on nodes.

A lightweight linux distro ISO image pre-configured to easily run Edge Node containers on HoloPorts and other hardware.

Benefits:

• Easiest Edge Node setup: The fastest way to get an Edge Node running on a HoloPort or dedicated hardware with minimal configuration.
• Optimized performance: A minimal, lightweight OS designed specifically for running Holochain nodes efficiently.

Users select 'Install HolOS' from the boot menu to install and reboot in under 60 seconds. Install creates two system volumes and one data volume. In the case of HoloPort+, the data volume is created on the SSD. This is the last breaking change requiring a re-install.

Benefits:

• Lightning-fast install: Go from a blank device to a running HolOS in under 60 seconds.
• Safer, seamless updates: A new dual-volume system enables future OS upgrades without data loss and provides an automatic "last known good" fallback.

Adds a Holochain 0.6 container option for Edge Node.

Benefits:

• Support modern hApps: Run always-on nodes for applications built with the latest Holochain 0.6 release.
• Run new and old hApps: Continue to run 0.5 and 0.6 nodes side-by-side, ensuring a smooth transition and supporting all your applications.

Adds support for Holochain usage-logging so that hApp usage in Edge Node can automatically be invoiced via Unyt accounting software.

Benefits:

• Automate your billing: Automatically logs hApp service usage and generates invoices via Unyt, saving time and manual effort for node operators.
• Clear financial tracking: Provides clear, auditable service logs for both hApp managers and service providers.

Supports Holochain’s HTTPGateway for Edge Nodes on the public internet.

Benefits:

• Make your node's data public: Securely expose read-only hApp data from your Edge Node to the public internet via a simple HTTP-based gateway.
• Build hybrid apps: Allow traditional websites or mobile apps to pull live data from your hApp's DHT without running a node.

Container configuration for serving static sites from an Edge Node

Benefits:

• Host websites on your Edge Node: Easily serve static web content (HTML, CSS, JS, images) directly from your node.
• Decentralize your frontend: Host your hApp's web-based user interface on the same decentralized node that runs its backend.
