# Roadmap

> What Datum offers today, what is in preview, and where to follow and influence what comes next.

Datum is still being built. We are building a public cloud with a generous "forever free" tier, and working closely with design partners on managed cloud and BYOC approaches. This page summarizes where each product stands.

## Available today

Our public cloud is opinionated, but powered by key partners. We call these our "house brand" services:

* **[Application Load Balancer](https://datum.net/docs/alb/overview.md):** an [Envoy](https://datum.net/docs/platform/envoy.md) edge proxy and AI gateway, with a built-in [web application firewall](https://datum.net/docs/alb/configuration/waf.md).
* **[Connectors](https://datum.net/docs/connectors/overview.md):** a way to orchestrate connections, starting with QUIC tunnels powered by [Iroh](https://datum.net/docs/platform/iroh-relays.md).
* **[Domains and DNS](https://datum.net/docs/domain-dns/overview.md):** domain tracking and verification, plus global authoritative DNS.
* **Essentials:** [metrics export](https://datum.net/docs/operations/metrics-export.md), [activity logs](https://datum.net/docs/operations/activity-logs.md), [secrets](https://datum.net/docs/operations/secrets.md), and team collaboration.

## In preview

* **[Compute](https://datum.net/docs/compute/overview.md):** isolated Instances that run container images or fast-starting [unikernels](https://datum.net/docs/compute/runtimes/unikernels.md) in Datum locations.
* **[gVPC](https://datum.net/docs/galactic-vpc/overview.md):** private IPv6 networks for your Instances that span every location they run in, on Datum's [SRv6](https://datum.net/docs/platform/segment-routing.md) backbone.

## What we're working on

* **More Connectors:** developer options such as Tailscale tailnets and WireGuard VPNs, and telco options such as AWS Direct Connect, Equinix Fabric, and Megaport onramps.
* **vMMR:** a virtual "meet me room" for interacting with diverse connections.
* **Networking for Instances:** firewall rules and private DNS. See [gVPC planned capabilities](https://datum.net/docs/galactic-vpc/limitations-and-roadmap.md#planned-capabilities).

## Product roadmaps

Each product has its own limitations and roadmap page:

* [gVPC](https://datum.net/docs/galactic-vpc/limitations-and-roadmap.md)
* [Compute](https://datum.net/docs/compute/limitations-and-roadmap.md)
* [Application Load Balancer](https://datum.net/docs/alb/limitations-and-roadmap.md)
* [Connectors](https://datum.net/docs/connectors/limitations-and-roadmap.md)
* [Domains and DNS](https://datum.net/docs/domain-dns/limitations-and-roadmap.md)

## Follow along and get involved

The best place to track our roadmap is our [website and milestones](https://www.datum.net/roadmap/). To suggest a feature, visit our [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/orgs/datum-cloud/discussions/categories/feature-requests). For more ways to take part, see [Get involved](https://datum.net/docs/get-involved.md).

### Enhancement proposals

Datum designs major changes in the open, in the [datum-cloud/enhancements](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements) repository on GitHub. It holds proposals for significant architectural changes, cross-cutting work such as security and performance, and long-term roadmap items that span several releases. Each proposal starts as an issue, is refined with maintainers and the community, and becomes an enhancement document. Proposals move from `Backlog` to `In Progress` to `Completed`.

To follow the design behind what's coming, browse the [open enhancements](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements/issues). To propose one of your own, open a new issue there. For smaller ideas and feature requests, use [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/orgs/datum-cloud/discussions/categories/feature-requests) instead.
