# Managed Compute (May–June 2026)

**Released:** May–June 2026

This is the **Managed Compute** era. GoFigr goes beyond tracking your figures to running the code that makes them: launch a cloud machine and work in browser-based Jupyter, code-server, or R Server with the GoFigr client already installed and signed in. The v3.x series builds that out with self-service billing, usage allowances, storage billing, and semantic search.

## ☁️ Managed Compute

Launch a cloud machine in a couple of clicks and start working — no setup, nothing to install.

**Key capabilities:**

* **Browser-based editors** — JupyterLab, code-server, and R Server, all on the same persistent files
* **Machine types (tiers)** — five named tiers from Micro to Performance XL, with live pricing shown before you launch
* **Lifecycle controls** — start, stop, restart, rename, and change machine type
* **Idle auto-shutdown** — instances stop themselves when idle so you don't pay for a machine you forgot about, with an in-page warning before they do
* **Soft delete with restore** — a deleted instance can be restored within a recovery window before its data volume is removed
* **Live status and event log** — per-instance status, activity, and a full event history

## 💳 Self-Service Billing

GoFigr now has end-to-end billing you manage yourself.

**What's new:**

* **Stripe Checkout and customer portal** — subscribe, update payment details, and view invoices
* **Plan switching** — move between plans, with a graceful downgrade to Free and promo-code support at checkout
* **Subscription status** — an organization subscription card, plus banners for canceled and past-due subscriptions

## 📊 Compute Allowances, Overages & Usage

Compute and storage are metered against your plan's included allowance.

**What's new:**

* **Included allowance** — a monthly compute allowance enforced at launch and start
* **Overages** — opt in to bill usage beyond the allowance at standard rates, or keep it as a hard cap on compute
* **Per-GB storage billing** for compute data volumes
* **Usage visibility** — Compute Usage cards on workspace and organization views, a per-instance billable-usage breakdown of compute and storage intervals, and per-period billing statements

## 🔎 Semantic Search

Search figures by **meaning**, not just keywords.

**What's new:**

* **Semantic Search mode** powered by multimodal embeddings
* Search indexes figure code, AI descriptions, and names; keyword results show highlighted match context
* More accurate matching on matplotlib figures, where label text is reconstructed from the figure's vector glyphs

## 🔔 Notifications

A new in-app **notification inbox** (the bell) surfaces:

* Compute events — instance ready, idle, error, and reboot
* Billing events — payment failed and subscription canceled

***

## Additional Improvements

* R Server added as a third compute editor in v3.5.0, alongside Jupyter and code-server
* Cost estimate and ETA in the launch modal, plus a cold-launch progress stepper
* User-triggered reboot to apply staged OS security updates
* Workspace and organization admins can operate and terminate instances they didn't launch
* Email-verification banner for new sign-ups
* Open-source notices page at `/licenses`
* Python client: new notebooks auto-enable GoFigr on compute instances (v2.3.3)
