Schema Versioning 🚀
Versioning has been the most requested feature and version one is here. Schema versioning encompasses changes made in different components across your workspace such as the database, queries, Addons, functions, and tasks. Each individual pieces of these keeps track of the changes you make. You can select a recent change to revert back to previous versions. Read more about Schema Versioning in our documentation.
Caching Support via Redis
The function stack got a major upgrade. It is now possible to achieve even better performance through caching, which is done through the popular Redis engine. Caching can be thought of as a light weight database used for temporary storage for items that don't change often. This can result in much faster performance since Xano doesn't need to re-run all the business logic. We are very excited to give this functionality to our users and will be working on some new Youtube videos going into this in details. You can read more on caching in the documentation.
