We're thoroughly excited to announce this release!
This is one of the biggest updates we've shipped and gets the platform significantly closer to a public launch. We've been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to rebuild core systems from the ground up to ensure user security and a great overall experience.
Organizations
When you sign up now, you automatically get your own organization. This is the foundation for team collaboration (coming early Jan 2026).
- All your infrastructure (servers, databases, files, monitoring, parked domains) now belongs to your org instead of just your personal account
- Seamlessly switch between multiple organizations
- Team invitations coming soon
Rebuilt IAM System
We scrapped the old permissions system and built it from scratch. Much more secure, way more control.
- Owner role: Full super user control over your organization
- Member role: Access and use org resources
- Granular permissions for everything
New Pricing Model
We killed the traditional plan system. Now you get default allotments (one free forever cloud server, web servers, database, etc.) and just buy additional resources when you actually need them. Pay for what you use, not what you might use.
Transparency Updates
New research page showing exactly what we're building and what community projects we're funding
Overhauled publications page with tagging and better categorization
Coming Soon
- Team member invitations (Early 2026)
- WordPress hosting with one-click install
- Carpathian Object storage (COS)
- Managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis)
- Public beta launch targeting January 2026
- Badges for doing stuff in the platform (like inviting people... or going to hidden pages you probably shouldn't have access too...)

A quick sidenote
It's a personal observation of mine (Sam), that many platforms today are focused on pleasing shareholders and business customers, and honestly, it feels like the actual user experience keeps getting worse. I know I'm not alone in feeling frustrated by this trend. The relationship between users and the platforms they depend on has become increasingly disconnected and transactional. Early on, we made a conscious decision to keep Carpathian highly customer-focused. The feedback we receive from our customers is integral to how the platform develops in the coming months. We added a public feedback and feature request form so that you can share your ideas, feedback, and yes, even the complaints. We read EVERY ONE of them, because we genuinely want to build something that works for you, not just for us.
