What’s New in Appsmith: Lambda Improvements, Smoother Workflows, and Enterprise Controls

We’ve shipped a lot of improvements recently, and here’s a quick roundup of what’s new and how it makes your day-to-day experience smoother inside Appsmith.

You can now browse Lambda function versions and aliases directly inside Appsmith. This saves you from constant context switching between tabs or guessing which version you’re invoking. You can pick and test functions right from the editor.

There are a few other small but useful changes you’ll notice too. Applications and workspaces are now sorted alphabetically, making navigation feel more predictable, especially if your team manages multiple workspaces. We’ve also improved how Appsmith communicates rate limits. Instead of guessing why something suddenly stopped working, you’ll now see a clear message explaining what happened and how to fix it.

We’ve made Table widgets easier to work with. Tab focus now behaves consistently inside input widgets within a table, which makes editing and moving between cells smoother when you’re working with large data sets.

You’ll also notice better debugging visibility. When a query fails, you still see the response details, so you can quickly understand what went wrong without digging through console logs.

Finally, scripting and URLs are more reliable. JavaScript evaluation is safer in edge cases, and URLs now handle complex page setups more predictably.

Enterprise admins get a few extra controls to keep environments stable and consistent. You can now configure workflow retention to decide how long background jobs are stored.

Updating workspace branding is also easier, so you can keep a consistent look across internal tools without needing engineering help.

And to make things even safer, there’s now an option to disable Temporal and improved database connection handlingfor more stable operations.

We’ve strengthened data integrity for object storage with Content-MD5 checks for Object Lock, keeping your data consistent and protected.

OAuth2 integrations are now smoother with popular identity providers, which makes SSO setup faster and less error-prone.

We’ve also upgraded multiple dependencies across the stack to resolve newly disclosed CVEs and keep your deployments secure by default.
