Changelog
Savanna changelog and product updates. Stay up to date with new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
Aug 5, 2026
Enhanced workspace management
Workspace Card and Table views now surface graph functions, database information, and common workspace actions more directly. You spend less time drilling into menus when you need to load data, open the GSQL Editor, or adjust settings. The views are meant for day-to-day operations, not just scanning what you have running.
Longer billing grace periods
Savanna now allows more time before a workspace is suspended or terminated when billing issues come up. That extra runway helps you fix an expired card, reprocess an invoice, or sort out a payment method without losing access mid-investigation. Fewer surprises when a billing hiccup overlaps with active work.
GSQL Editor improvements
The GSQL Editor received usability and reliability fixes for a smoother editing experience. Edits, saves, and query runs should feel more predictable during longer development sessions. These are incremental quality improvements rather than a full redesign.
In-app chatbot retired
The in-app chatbot has been retired as Savanna shifts toward broader developer resources and documentation. Support and docs remain available through the usual channels, and more self-service guidance is planned for future releases. Use Support or the in-platform ticket flow when you need help.
Jul 1, 2026
Flexible maintenance scheduling
Maintenance windows can now repeat on a custom weekly cadence instead of a fixed schedule. Set an interval such as every 2 or 4 weeks and Savanna runs recurring maintenance only in that slot, so upgrades land when they least disrupt your workloads. This helps when you batch operational changes around a sprint or a monthly release calendar.
Automatic maintenance for new workspaces
New workspaces are now created with automatic maintenance upgrades turned on, and the workspace clearly shows that the setting is active. Leaving it on means version and security updates are applied for you during the maintenance window. You can change or disable the setting at any time after the workspace is created if you prefer to control upgrades yourself.
Upgrade notifications
Savanna now notifies you before a workspace is upgraded during an automatic maintenance window. The advance notice gives you time to review the change, reschedule if needed, or prepare dependent systems. You no longer have to watch the console to learn that an upgrade is coming.
Jun 3, 2026
Enhanced workspace views
You can now switch between Card, Table, and Graph views when managing workspaces. Card view is best for a quick visual scan, Table view lets you compare many workspaces by their attributes, and Graph view shows how workspaces relate within a workgroup. Pick the layout that fits the task instead of being locked into a single list.
Workspace filtering
A filter lets you narrow the workspace list down to what you are looking for instead of scrolling through everything. This is especially useful in large organizations that run many workspaces across teams and environments.
Savanna health metrics via API
Health and infrastructure metrics are now exposed through APIs, so you can pull them into your own monitoring stack and dashboards. The feed includes CPU, disk, IOPS, and service-level utilization, the same operational signals Savanna uses internally. Use it to set alerts, track trends, and correlate database health with the rest of your platform.
May 6, 2026
Reprocess unpaid invoices
You can now retry an unpaid invoice directly in Savanna instead of contacting support. If a payment failed because of an expired card or a temporary issue, update the payment method and reprocess the invoice in place. This shortens the time it takes to clear a billing block and restore normal access.
Apr 15, 2026
Start with a sample graph
When you create a workspace you can now start from a pre-loaded sample graph that already includes data and example queries, or start from an empty workspace when you are ready for a real project. The sample path lets you explore schema, loading, and querying without setting anything up first. It is the fastest way to see how Savanna works from end to end.
Schedule version upgrades
You can choose the exact date and time for a maintenance version upgrade, or apply it immediately when you want the change right away. Scheduling lets you line an upgrade up with a low-traffic window and coordinate it with your team. Nothing forces you to upgrade on Savanna’s timing.
Mar 11, 2026
Free credit expiration date
Savanna now shows when your free credits expire, so you know exactly how much runway you have. The clearer timeline helps you plan evaluation work and avoid losing credits you meant to use.
Product tour
A guided product tour walks new users through the platform and points out the features they will use most. It shortens the time from first login to a working graph, especially for people who are new to Savanna.
Copy queries from the GSQL Editor
A copy action in the GSQL Editor lets you grab a query in one click instead of selecting text by hand. Reusing a query in another workspace, sharing it with a teammate, or pasting it into a ticket is now quicker and less error prone.
Feb 12, 2026
Billing enforcement for exhausted credits
Organizations that run out of credits and have no valid payment method now have their workspaces paused and scheduled for resource termination, with email warnings sent well before anything is removed. The advance notices give you time to add a payment method or export data before termination. This keeps billing predictable while protecting you from surprise data loss.

Sep 19, 2025
Guided onboarding flow
A guided flow now walks first-time users through mapping their data and setting up a loading job automatically. It removes much of the manual setup that used to stand between sign-up and a working graph.
Aug 28, 2025
Clearer Read-Write deletion messaging
Deleting a Read-Write workspace now comes with clearer messaging about the consequences, so the impact of the action is easier to understand before you confirm.
Downtime and restore notifications
A banner now warns you about upcoming downtime, and you get a notification when a backup restore finishes. You spend less time watching the console to learn the current state.
Onboarding credit expiration
Onboarding credits now display their expiration date, so you can see how long they last and plan your evaluation accordingly.
Multi-node CPU and memory monitoring
CPU and memory monitoring now covers multi-node deployments and includes alerting. You get visibility and warnings for clustered workspaces, not just single-node ones.
Jul 24, 2025
My Files grouping
User-created files and folders are now grouped under My Files, which cuts sidebar clutter and makes your own work easier to find.
Connect via API in the GSQL Editor
The Connect via API option moved from the Workspace Connect menu into the GSQL Editor, so connection details sit next to where you write and run queries.
Explore from the GSQL Editor
Hovering a vertex in the GSQL Editor now shows an Explore button that takes you straight to Explore Graph. You can move from a query result to a visual investigation without hunting for the entry point.
Apr 3, 2025
Snowflake integration
You can connect securely to Snowflake from Savanna, preview sample data, and auto-generate graph schemas and mappings from your tables. From there you can customize transformations and manage loading jobs without leaving Savanna, which shortens the path from warehouse data to a working graph.

Dec 19, 2024
Data Profile
Data Profile is now available in the workspace and summarizes your graph’s data distribution, schema, and statistics in one place. It gives you a quick health check of what is actually loaded before you build queries on top of it.
API documentation
Reference documentation for the Savanna APIs is now available, with the detail you need to automate and integrate against the platform.
Delinquent workspace email notices
You now get advance email notice before delinquent workspaces are cleaned up, so you have time to act before resources are removed.
Nov 28, 2024
Auto stop on Free tier
Auto stop is now enabled and locked on for Free tier workspaces, which keeps idle free workspaces from consuming resources unnecessarily.
Cypher auto-completion in the GSQL Editor
The GSQL Editor now offers auto-completion for Cypher, helping you write queries faster and with fewer syntax errors.
GSQL Editor tutorials
Built-in tutorials in the GSQL Editor provide ready samples for schema changes, data loading, and queries, which lowers the learning curve for new users.
Nov 13, 2024
Clearer Graph Admin configs
Graph Admin configuration screens are reworked to be more straightforward, making common administrative changes easier to find and apply.
Separate backup quota checks
Manual and automatic backup limits are now checked separately, and failed backups no longer count against your backup quota. You get more predictable backup behavior and fewer false limits.
JSON results in the GSQL Editor
Query results can now render as JSON in the GSQL Editor, which is handy when you want to inspect nested output or copy it into another tool.
Oct 31, 2024
Alert email recipients
You can add recipients for alert emails, so the right people are notified when something needs attention.
Oct 15, 2024
Scheduled expand and shrink
You can schedule workspace expansion and shrink to match your usage patterns, so capacity grows for peak periods and shrinks when demand drops. This keeps performance high while controlling cost.
Cross-zone high availability
Cross-zone HA lets you deploy clusters across multiple availability zones for stronger fault tolerance. If a zone fails, your workspace stays available, which supports business continuity and disaster recovery.
Alerting system
The alerting system notifies you about critical events and performance anomalies, so you can act before they affect users.

TigerGraph Server 4.1 Preview
TigerGraph Server 4.1 Preview is available on TigerGraph Savanna, giving you early access to the newest server capabilities.
Output to Amazon S3
You can now write query output to Amazon S3 and read it back, storing and retrieving data in your own S3 buckets directly from Savanna. This makes it easier to move results into the rest of your data pipeline.
Built-in read-only algorithms
You can run built-in read-only algorithms on read-only workspaces, so you get analytical results without needing write access.
GSQL Editor refresh
The GSQL Editor has a cleaner interface with syntax highlighting and auto-completion, making queries easier to read and faster to write.
Faster data loading
Data loading is faster and more reliable, so large loads finish sooner with fewer retries.

Network configuration
You can set up IP allow lists with network configuration to control who can reach your workspaces, tightening access at the network level.
Controller APIs
Controller APIs now support API keys, so you can automate Savanna operations more securely.
Sep 12, 2024
Capacity planning
Capacity planning helps you estimate the right workspace size and its cost before you provision, so you can balance performance against spend.
Aug 27, 2024
Smarter Auto Suspend
Auto Suspend now recognizes installing queries, running queries, loading jobs, and schema changes as activity, so it will not suspend a workspace that is still doing work.
Aug 14, 2024
Expanded solution kits
The solution kit library is larger, with more pre-built templates and workflows for common graph use cases. Starting from a kit gets you to a working solution faster than building from scratch.
Jul 31, 2024
GSQL API v2
GSQL API v2 improves query performance and unlocks the latest GSQL features, giving your applications access to newer capabilities and optimizations.
Deeper monitoring
Enhanced monitoring tools give you deeper insight into your environment, so you can track performance metrics and diagnose issues more effectively.
Jul 13, 2024
Sync read-only data with read-write
You can synchronize read-only data with read-write workspaces, keeping the two workspace types consistent so read-only analysis reflects the latest data.
Apr 29, 2024
TigerGraph Savanna Beta
TigerGraph Savanna launched in Beta with its core platform, including separation of storage and compute, workgroups and workspaces for resource control, schema design, data loading, the GSQL Editor, Explore Graph, integrations and add-ons, administration tools, and usage-based billing. Together these gave the first end-to-end way to build and run graph applications on Savanna.
