Product Releases
and Updates

We are excited to announce a major architectural milestone for OutSystems Developer Cloud: self-hosted deployment. You can now run your mission-critical apps, data, and AI agents in your own private or public cloud, or on-premises Kubernetes infrastructure, while continuing to leverage ODC's automated platform management. By providing this deployment flexibility, we are addressing critical requirements for customers who need absolute control over their hosting environments due to stringent data residency, security, or regulatory compliance mandates.

This self-hosted model significantly enhances the developer experience by streamlining the path to production in complex network environments, particularly for high-volume on-premises workloads where remote connectivity was previously a bottleneck. By enabling single-tenant runtime provisioning directly from the ODC Portal and utilizing a secure pull mechanism for updates, businesses can achieve the agility of AI development without compromising their specific infrastructure needs. This ensures that even the most geographically distributed or highly regulated industries can scale their digital transformation efforts with confidence and efficiency.

Building AI agents is exciting—until you need to prove they actually work. When you're iterating on a System Prompt, updating Grounding Data, or wiring up new tools, the only way to know if things still behave correctly has been manual, one-off testing. Change the prompt logic, re-deploy, and hope for the best. That kind of guesswork doesn't scale, and it certainly doesn't inspire the confidence needed to put agents in front of real users.

We saw a clear need for a structured, repeatable way to validate agent behavior during development—something that lets you know, before anything reaches production, whether your changes improved things or broke them.

Introducing Evaluations in Agent Workbench

Evaluations let you automatically test your Agent Logic against a Golden Dataset—a collection of test cases with inputs, expected outputs, and expected tool calls that you define. You upload the dataset as JSON, select the Service Action that wraps your agent, and run an evaluation. The platform executes each test case, captures a full execution trace (inputs, tool calls, token usage, and final output), and then automatically scores every result using the built-in platform Judge. No configuration needed—every run gets a quality score and Pass/Fail for each test case out of the box.

This means you can change a prompt, swap a tool, or adjust grounding logic and immediately see how those changes affect accuracy and reliability across dozens of scenarios. The full execution trace gives you the visibility to pinpoint exactly where things went wrong—which tool was called, what arguments were passed, and what the agent actually produced. And because the Judge runs automatically on every evaluation, you get consistent, comparable feedback across runs without any extra setup.

We’re introducing a new widget for error management in OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC) Workflows: a new, visually intuitive panel that helps you quickly identify and resolve issues while building workflows.

Located at the bottom of the Workflow Editor, the Notification Panel aggregates all workflow errors in one place. Instead of navigating through multiple activities and properties to track down issues, you can now instantly see where problems exist and jump directly to them with a single click.

A notification indicator shows the number of errors detected in your workflow. Clicking it opens the Notification Panel, where you can:

• Identify issues at a glance – View a clear summary of all workflow errors in one place.
• Jump directly to the problem – Click any error to navigate straight to the affected node.
• Resolve issues faster – Reduce debugging time and avoid manually searching across the workflow.

With improved visibility, navigation, and filtering, this feature makes workflow creation smoother and more efficient—so you can spend less time debugging and more time delivering value.

Storing API keys and external service credentials in site properties is a common practice, but leaving them unencrypted creates a significant security vulnerability. Relying on manual reviews to catch these oversights is risky and often leads to overlooked vulnerabilities in O11 apps.

AI Mentor Studio now automatically identifies these risks by matching site property values against typical formats for sensitive credentials and API keys.

By flagging exposed secrets early, teams can prevent accidental data exposure, enforce encryption best practices as well as ensure their applications remain compliant with modern security frameworks.

We’re pleased to announce that you can now autonomously schedule the database upgrades, security patching, and other maintenance tasks directly in the ODC Portal. The custom maintenance scheduling empowers teams to align infrastructure updates with their specific business needs, ensuring that system reliability and compliance never come at the cost of operational agility.

With this update, you get a unified maintenance dashboard with real-time progress tracking, allowing administrators to flexibly reschedule pending operations to a specific date and time within available maintenance periods. To ensure you never miss a critical update, the system sends proactive email alerts for required actions. It includes an automated fallback mechanism that securely executes necessary updates before their deadlines if no rescheduling is performed.

You can find upcoming updates and patches for app vulnerabilities under Maintain > Platform updates (formerly under App security).

Following the success of our Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), we are excited to expand your toolkit with Database Events, a new capability exclusive to OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC). While EDA allows for high-level application orchestration, this update specifically enables developers to build highly decoupled, reactive applications by triggering logic directly from database state changes, eliminating the need for manual wrappers or complex process modeling.

With this release, you can now trigger events based on native entity events—OnCreate, OnUpdate, and OnDelete—turning your database into an active participant in your application's architecture.

Key Features

• Native Entity Triggers: Directly subscribe to data changes at the source. Logic is automatically invoked whenever a record is created, modified, or removed.
• Asynchronous Execution: All database-triggered logic runs in the background. This ensures that your main user transactions remain fast and responsive, as the system doesn't wait for side-effect logic to complete.
• Access via Record ID: Each event provides access to the unique Identifier of the affected record. This allows you to easily retrieve the latest state to perform audits, handle cache invalidation, or stream data to external systems in real-time.
• Enhanced Reliability: Ensure that critical side effects—like audit logging or external data synchronization—happen every single time a record changes, regardless of where that change originated in your app.
• Seamless Studio Integration & Availability: Configure these triggers directly within ODC Studio under the Entity properties. This feature is currently rolling out to all ODC tenants; look for the new Events section under the properties of any Database Entity.

We have enhanced the recently released ODC Data Fabric Connector for O11 to support O11 multi-pipeline infrastructures (multiple production environments in the same infrastructure). This update is specifically for enterprise customers who manage development and delivery across segregated business lines or regional pipelines.

What has changed:

• Pipeline Interoperability: You can now expose entities from different O11 pipelines into an ODC tenant.
• Architectural Consistency: Maintain your existing O11 deployment and segregation rules while bridging data to ODC.
  
  

This update enables organizations with complex delivery architectures to use the connector to ground ODC-based AI agents and applications in their core business data residing in O11.

Identify outdated components automatically to reduce technical debt and security risks.

Manually auditing applications for deprecated elements is a tedious process that often leads to overlooked technical debt. AI Mentor Studio now proactively flags when your modules consume elements that are no longer recommended, so these can be replaced with more secure or efficient alternatives.

By identifying these risks early, teams can improve application health, minimize vulnerabilities, and simplify future upgrades.
