Summary

Flow v3.0.0 is here, and it comes with several significant improvements to enhance the app’s user experience. The latest version of the app has a simplified configuration process, where only the essential options are presented to the user during deployment. The new concept of app sizes curates resource profiles for the app’s provided compute power and memory. Users can choose from three different sizes based on their use cases: Small, Medium, and Large.

Additionally, the app now supports serverless file storage, meaning that users no longer have to worry about remaining disk space on the mounted storage as it automatically scales with usage. The app’s deployment and recovery speed have also been significantly improved. The update also includes a switch to pnpm as the default package manager, which ensures more reliable installation and uninstallation of nodes and modules.

Moreover, the app now includes two OAuth clients by default, one used to control access to the Flow Editor and the other for securing endpoints and widgets used by the flow. The Flow Editor Client (Private Client) has the roles “View” and “Edit,” while the Flow API Client (Public Client) can have custom roles created from the Access Tab of the App Detail Page.

All in all, the Flow App v3.0.0 brings several significant improvements that will enhance the user experience and make using the app more efficient.
