Our v0.16 release is out this week and it's big! You upgrade this time, we'll upgrade next time. 👷 miren.dev/blog/v0-16-r...
Miren v0.16: Release Highlights - Miren
Miren Cloud can now see your apps and upgrade your clusters for you, which makes v0.16 the last upgrade you'll do by hand.
miren.dev
Keeping everything up to date can be such a chore! Let us take that off your plate. 🍽️🤏 Soon, Miren Cloud will be able to manage your cluster upgrades for you. ☁️🤌⏫
0.15.1 out with a hot fix to plug a memory leak in 0.15. It can cause the host system to become unresponsive, so please be sure to update if you're on 0.15. Thanks and now back to the show!
Miren 0.15 out today! In addition to a number of bug fixes, this one has some nice features such as `miren top` and better support for booting your app off an image outside of Miren. Enjoy keeping an eye on those node/app/sandbox resources and we'll see you out there! miren.md/changelog#v0...

We're excited to announce early access to our Managed Clusters product! Request access on miren.dev/pricing! Miren has always been focused on self-hosted, but there are many of you that have asked if instead Miren could run the cluster for them. The answer is now yes!
Pricing - Miren
Miren's self-hosted core is free forever: the whole CLI and the core deploy workflow, on servers you own. Here's how we plan to make money.

Miren Runtime v0.14.0 is out 🚀 First Class Secrets: store app credentials with miren secret, reference them from app.toml. Encrypted, and never in your config, logs, or image layers. Plus App Tasks, a SQLite addon, and more: miren.dev/blog/v0-14-r...
Miren v0.14: Release Highlights - Miren
You build the app. We'll take the fiddly bits: secrets, tasks, maintenance windows, SQLite, and reaching clusters off the public internet.

RPC That Calls You Back - Miren
Why Miren wrote its own RPC system, one where passing an object as an argument lets the other side call back into you.

Miren v0.13 is out: your cluster can finally be more than one machine. Mint a token, run `miren runner install`, and stateless workloads spread across every box you point at it. Encrypted WireGuard mesh between them. miren.dev/blog/distrib...
Your Cluster Is Finally a Cluster - Miren
Introducing distributed runners in Miren: add machines to your cluster and spread stateless workloads across them.

Join Evan and Nate as they deploy rubygems.org on Miren, tuning it along the way. They get into consulting in 2026, the heat in Tokyo, the difference between vcpus and cpus, and so much more. youtu.be/KLzD5xUQ2p4
We love @pagedout.bsky.social! It's a free zine about programming, security, and hacker culture, and every article has to fit on a single page. Exactly our kind of thing, so we sponsored issue #9. Also, @phinze.com wrote page 27: "Go Get a Garden Server" 🌱 Free PDF at pagedout.institute
Paged Out!
Deeply technical zine. And it's free.

Miren v0.12.0 ships Miren Anywhere: your cluster dials out, Miren's edge carries traffic back, and my-chores.miren.app can be served straight off a laptop in the kitchen 👩🍳💻 The "deploy works but the URL times out" wall, gone 🔄✨ miren.dev/blog/miren-a...
Miren Anywhere - Miren
Put a private cluster's apps on the internet. No port forwarding, no static IP, nothing dialing in.

Nothing says self-hosted like running your own social media data, so we set out to run a Bluesky PDS on our own systems using Miren! (hi @mirener.miren.team !) miren.dev/blog/bluesky...
Self-Hosting a Bluesky PDS on Miren - Miren
We put our own PDS on the ATmosphere with Claude Code and the Miren skills — here's the real setup, including where it got stuck.

Loved chatting, building, and deploying with @thorstenball.com and Quinn Slack of Amp. The tools have gotten so good and love how we're let people get their ideas out there! Full video at youtu.be/A3yuLVkNxWM?...

You draw a little guy on your phone, a pig in a hat, and seconds later it poofs onto a giant screen full of strangers' creatures. That's PIGCon Plaza, built on Miren for zero dollars by @burlaprobot.bsky.social and the @pigsquad.com crew. 1,300 people came through. miren.dev/blog/drawing...
Drawing a Crowd - Miren

tired: a static AWS key in your env vars that works for anyone who finds it 👀 wired: every app gets a short-lived identity and proves who it is to AWS, no key stored 🥷 new in Miren 0.10 → miren.dev/blog/workloa...
Every Sandbox Gets an Identity - Miren
Short-lived OIDC tokens in every sandbox, so your app can prove who it is to AWS and the rest of the world without storing a single static secret.

"Just use Postgres for everything" is great advice. We didn't take it. 😎 We're self-hosted, so every migration we ship, our users run across a whole fleet. Smeared SQL schemas? No thanks! Miren keeps its state as datoms on etcd. A new field? Just a new field. The story: miren.dev/blog/datoms-...
Datoms All the Way Down - Miren
Why Miren stores its state in an EAV entity system on etcd instead of a relational database.
miren.dev
Also in v0.10: workload identity tokens (OIDC JWTs issued per-sandbox for service-to-service auth), log coalescing in miren logs -f, and automatic IP cleanup on service deletion. Full changelog: miren.md/changelog
