Render shipped Workflows, a durable task orchestration system now in public beta with TypeScript and Python SDKs for building long-running background processes—handling queuing, retries, state management, and parallel execution on Render's private network. Beyond that, the platform expanded Blueprint flexibility by supporting custom file paths and added validation via CLI and API, while the CLI itself gained workspace listing and non-interactive database querying. Audit logs now capture session closures and connection metadata (source IP, user agent), and free web services extended their spindown logic to respect active WebSocket traffic alongside HTTP requests.
Audit logs gained visibility into shell session lifecycles and client context. The EndShellEvent type now complements existing StartShellEvent tracking, while new source_ip and user_agent metadata fields let you see where shell access originated.
