Today, we are unifying our two primitives – vals and projects – into a single primitive: the val – which will have best features of both.
Vals have been known for being simple and lightweight. This upgrade will help preserve their original spirit, while also supporting more complex, multi-file projects, and collaborative, branching workflows.
Under the hood, vals are becoming projects. Once the migration is over, we will rename projects to vals. In short: legacy vals → projects → vals.
HTTP, Cron, and Email val types wil then be referred to as triggers. The Script type is going away; all JavaScript files will be runnable.
- April 24, 2025 – Today, we are announcing the changes & API deprecations. You can start manually upgrading your legacy vals, and integrating with our new API routes.
- April 30, 2025 – All remaining legacy vals will be auto-upgraded. Deprecated API routes become read-only.
- May 1, 2025 – Projects will be renamed to vals across our product and docs.
We will be auto-upgrading all legacy vals on April 30th, 2025. If you would like to upgrade early, you can do so by going to any of your legacy val's Settings and clicking upgrade.
