Once you go hot reload, you never go cold. 🔥

With @serverpod.dev 4, we rebuilt the complete framework from the ground up for agentic coding. This includes adding AI skills and an MCP server. But the true magic comes in the combination with full-stack hot reload. 🔥 Try our quickstart guide and go from idea to production in 10 minutes.

Serverpod App Studio is out. 🥳 Download it. Double-click it. Build something real. Bring your favorite AI agent, App Studio brings everything else you need to build a real full-stack app and deploy it to the cloud. All free and open-source.

Today, we did not just release Serverpod 4. We are also launching Serverpod App Studio. It’s a desktop app that can run your full stack, without installing development tools. https://tech.eu/2026/09/14/an-ai-app-builder-without-an-ai-serverpod-bets-on-what-comes-after-vibe-coding/

When we released Serverpod 1.0 three years ago, we had no idea how far this project would go. In 1 day, we are releasing Serverpod 4. The same vision, but over 100 new features and 100 contributors. This time, we are really taking it to the next level. 🚀

In Serverpod 2, we added streaming data support and built a production-grade ORM with database relations and migrations. In 2 days, we are releasing Serverpod 4. It's our biggest release yet and will forever change how you think about building apps.

Serverpod 3 brought everything you need to build production-grade applications with Serverpod. Solid authentication, an improved low-level web server, and polymorphism in data models. Now, we're counting down to Serverpod 4, and we think it will change how you think about building apps.

For Serverpod 4, we needed a better way to handle agent skills, so we created package:skills. The package has now been taken over by the Dart team, and the 1.0 version has been officially released. 🥳 https://dart.dev/blog/skills-cli-1-0-bundle-and-distribute-ai-agent-skills-for-your-packages

One of the trickier things to do in Flutter is to access Google APIs (like Calendar, Drive, or Contacts) server-side on your user’s behalf. That’s why we wrote a blog post about it. Spoiler alert: It’s not tricky anymore. https://serverpod.dev/blog/flutter-google-apis-server-side

Today, we are releasing the first agentic coding engine that hot-reloads the full stack. 🚀 Give the @serverpod.dev 4 public beta 10 minutes, and it will forever change how you think about building apps. Read the announcement: 👉 https://serverpod.dev/blog/serverpod-4-public-beta
