Initial supported event types include: APP_CREATE, APP_UPDATE, APP_DELETE, APP_DEPLOY DATABASE_CREATE, DATABASE_UPDATE, DATABASE_DELETE STATIC_SITE_CREATE, STATIC_SITE_UPDATE, STATIC_SITE_DELETE, STATIC_SITE_DEPLOY Learn more in the documentation.

Static sites on Sevalla now support Pretty URLs, which automatically standardize URLs for cleaner paths and improved SEO. When enabled, Sevalla will: Redirect paths like /about → /about/ Rewrite paths like /about.html → /about/ This behavior helps ensure consistent URL structures and better caching performance across our CDN. You can enable Pretty URLs in your project's Static Site > Settings > Redirects section.

Static sites on Sevalla now support the _redirects file format. If your repository includes a _redirects file in its root, Sevalla automatically parses and applies your custom redirect rules. Supported features include: Custom 404 pages: Add a 404.html page, and Sevalla will automatically serve it for missing paths. Force redirects: Use ! in your status code to override existing files, ensuring your redirect always takes effect. Splats: Use wildcards (e.g. /news/* → /blog/:splat) to match entire path segments. Placeholders: Dynamically capture path segments using variables like :slug or :id. Query parameters: Match redirects based on query strings (e.g. /store?id=:id → /blog/:id). These additions make it easier to manage complex routing logic directly from your repository with no extra configuration required. For single-page applications that rely on client-side routing, we recommend adding the rule /* /index.html 200 so that all paths correctly return index.html with a 200 status instead of a 404 on reload.

A big thank-you to all our beta users who helped us test and refine the new interface. We’re thrilled to share it with everyone, and as always, if you spot any quirks, we’d love your feedback.
