F1 release 🏎️🏁

F1 release 🏎️🏁

The F1 release puts Mage Pro in the fast lane with streamlined deployments, sharper integrations, and more powerful controls for data teams. From Docker-powered on-prem setups to smarter GitLab pipelines and CLI shortcuts, this drop is all about speed, reliability, and control. 🏎️💨

Buckle up, fire up your AI Sidekick, and let’s hit the track. 🏁✨

🐳 Simplified On-Prem Deployment with Docker + Kubernetes

Mage Pro can now run on-premises in Docker containers as well as Kubernetes.

  • Docker provides a lightweight, easier-to-manage option for teams that don’t want the full complexity of Kubernetes

  • Enterprises can start with Docker and later scale to Kubernetes

  • Keep full control over environment, networking, and governance in secure deployments

🔒 Pipeline & Block-Level Virtual Environments

Dependency conflicts are no longer a roadblock.

  • Define a requirements.txt at the pipeline or block level

  • Ensure reproducibility across local, staging, and production

  • Enable isolated experimentation without breaking shared environments

🦊 Enhanced GitLab Integration

Mage Pro’s deployment app now integrates more deeply with GitLab.

  • Sync deployments seamlessly with GitLab projects

  • Gain visibility into deployment states and pipeline runs

  • Keep your CI/CD loop tight and GitLab-native

⏱️ Restart Cluster Jobs from the CLI

Introducing the mage restart-jobs command for operational control.

  • Restart failed or cancelled jobs directly from the CLI

  • Filter by pipeline UUID, status (failedcancelled, or both), time window, or job limit

  • Skip confirmations for automation, or retain safeguards in production

Example:

mage restart-jobs /home/src/my_project --status failed --limit 10

🟥 Redshift SUPER Type & Synthetic Sources

Mage Pro strengthens Redshift support and testing utilities:

  • Support for custom type mappings including the SUPER type

  • Improved ingestion reliability with string parsing + COPY FORMAT AS PARQUET

  • New Synthetic Data Source with Faker to generate in-memory datasets for testing and demos

🔑 Secure MySQL Connections with SSH Tunneling

Connect to MySQL databases securely, even behind firewalls.

  • Configure SSH tunnels with password or private key authentication

  • Enable remote and enterprise-safe connectivity

  • Improve support for on-prem and hybrid architectures

🛠️ Smarter Workspace Pod Image Handling

Workspace reliability has been tuned up:

  • If no image is specified, Mage auto-inherits the pod image from configuration

  • Override available for per-workspace customization

  • Prevents “missing image” issues and reduces downtime for development

🎨 Polished UI & Bug Fixes

Tighter handling across services and interfaces:

  • Deployment service no longer hangs on file/folder counts

  • Fixed UI crashes on empty pipeline schemas

  • Integration errors can now be copied easily

  • Cleaned up YAML formatting for integrations

  • Updated dependencies (like paramiko) for SSH tunneling compatibility

🏎️ Ready to feel the rush?

The F1 release is built for speed, handling, and precision—whether you’re deploying on Docker, fine-tuning environments, or running tight CI/CD with GitLab. Update Mage Pro and stay ahead of the pack. 🏁🔥
