Roadmap

Where Subnomic is headed

A transparent look at what's shipped, what we're building now, and what's further out. Directions, not promises.

ShippedIn progressPlanned

Sites & services

Shipped
  • Static sites — a preview address for every deployment, rollback that moves a pointer, _redirects and _headers, and custom domains with certificates issued for you.
  • Services — a Nitro node-server build or a Linux binary runs on a microVM of its own, sized from pico to large.
  • Managed Postgres & Redis — bound to a service, with the connection string delivered as an environment variable.
  • Traffic analytics — counted where the site is served: no cookie, no script, kept 90 days.

Object storage

Shipped
  • S3-compatible API — SigV4, path-style addressing, multipart uploads and presigned URLs, working with the AWS CLI, rclone and restic.
  • Versioning & object lock — Governance and Compliance retention, and legal hold.
  • Lifecycle & replication — expire old versions and copy a bucket to any S3-compatible endpoint.
  • Scoped keys & share links — keys limited by bucket, prefix and action; share links you can revoke.

Container registry

Shipped
  • Private OCI registry — multi-arch images, robot accounts for CI, and repositories created on first push.
  • Scanning & SBOMs — Trivy on every push, findings with the version that fixes them, CycloneDX and SPDX on request.
  • Signing — cosign with a per-workspace key held in your own KMS, or uploaded and encrypted.
  • Retention & transfers — keep-last-N and age rules, and one-off copies to and from other registries.

Runa & workflows

Shipped
  • Runa — an assistant with a hundred-odd tools, every step shown with its arguments, running as a scoped agent access.
  • Agent access for MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients with scoped, expiring, recorded access.
  • Workflows — visual graphs with approvals, resume after a crash, 109 templates, and graphs drawn from a sentence.
  • AI summaries & investigations — session summaries, incident triage and postmortems, and a daily briefing.

CLI

Shipped
  • Sign in & terminals — subnomic login, servers and ssh to any host with an agent.
  • Deploys from anywhere — sites deploy and rollback, with only the URL on stdout and scoped tokens for CI.

Foundation

Shipped
  • Terminals without open ports — an outbound agent; open a terminal from the browser or the CLI with port 22 closed to the world.
  • Session recording & replay — keystroke-by-keystroke capture, replayed with its original timing.
  • Granular permissions — roles as sets of permissions, from reading a database to taking over a live session.
  • Host metrics — CPU, memory, disk, processes and network from the same agent.

Container & cluster resource management

Shipped
  • Docker resource management — browse containers, images, volumes and networks; start, stop, restart and update images — policy-checked and recorded, no Docker socket exposed.
  • Kubernetes resource management — view and edit workloads, shell into pods and roll deployments — no kubeconfig leaves your cluster.
  • Right-sizing — requests and limits recommended from the P95 of sampled usage.

Beyond SSH: databases & internal apps

Shipped
  • Database consoles — Postgres, MySQL, Redis and Mongo through the agent, every query recorded, no database password handed out.
  • Internal app access — open internal dashboards and web apps over the same outbound connection — no VPN, no inbound ports.
  • Kubernetes API proxy — full kubectl through a generated kubeconfig, governed and recorded — not just pod exec.

Access control, approvals & guardrails

Shipped
  • Just-in-time access — access requests with reviewer sign-off and automatic expiry.
  • Break-glass access — a logged emergency path with a required justification and an instant notice to owners.
  • Live session monitoring & takeover — watch an active terminal in real time, then send input or end it.
  • Command & query guardrails — allow, deny and require-approval rules for queries, commands and Kubernetes changes.

Passwordless identity & 2FA

Shipped
  • Passkeys / WebAuthn — phishing-resistant sign-in with nothing to paste.
  • Two-factor authentication — TOTP with recovery codes for accounts that still use a password.
  • Scoped API keys — workspace keys for automation and CI, limited to the scopes they carry.

Search & command palette

Shipped
  • ⌘K command palette — jump to any server, resource, database or app from one keystroke.
  • Full-text search — permission-scoped results across your whole workspace.

Scheduled tasks

Shipped
  • Scheduled commands & actions — run a command or a resource action on a host once or on a schedule, correct across daylight-saving changes.
  • Recorded & governed — every run is permission-checked, guardrail-checked and written to the activity log.

Operations

Shipped
  • Alerting & on-call — rules on CPU, memory, disk and unhealthy workloads, with escalation to whoever is on call.
  • Incidents — timelines, MTTA and MTTR, change correlation, and fixes that wait for a person.
  • Risk radar & briefings — latent risks ordered by severity, and a daily digest of what changed.
  • Cloud accounts & patching — DigitalOcean and Proxmox machines provisioned with the agent on, and pending updates via apt, dnf and yum.

Detection & compliance

Shipped
  • Anomaly detection — flags for off-hours sessions, first access to a host and mass file operations.
  • Compliance evidence packs — access reviews and ZIP evidence packs framed for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS.
  • Tamper-evident audit — a per-workspace hash chain over the activity log, streamed to a signed webhook or Slack.

Mobile app

In progress
  • Approvals from your phone — access requests, remediations, patches and access reviews, behind a biometric prompt.

Platform & reach

Planned
  • Windows hosts — the agent already builds for Windows; validating it on real fleets, with per-operator users, comes next.
  • Raw TCP from your laptop — a local proxy client for non-HTTP services behind the agent.
  • Pausing a live session — hold a user’s input without ending their session.

Services, next

Planned
  • Automatic database backups — scheduled snapshots for managed Postgres and Redis.
  • Archived service logs — logs that outlive the machine a service ran on.

Identity & SSO

Planned
  • SSO & SAML — sign in through your identity provider — no separate Subnomic passwords.
  • SCIM provisioning — provision and de-provision users and roles as your directory changes.
