Hi Everyone, | ||

It's been a few weeks since our last release, and I'm very excited to share with you the news of | ||
[Atlas v0.27](https://github.com/ariga/atlas/releases/tag/v0.27.0). In this release, you will find: | ||
* [**Atlas Schema Monitoring**](#schema-monitoring): A new product that provides a set of tools and features to help you manage and monitor your | ||
database schema effectively. | ||
* [**Pay via AWS Marketplace**](#aws-marketplace): Atlas users can now pay for their Atlas subscription via the AWS Marketplace. | ||

### Introducing Schema Monitoring {#schema-monitoring} | ||
|
||
![](https://atlasgo.io/uploads/cloud/monitoring/4.png) | ||
|
||
The hallmark of this release is a new product we call [**Atlas Schema Monitoring**](/monitoring). Atlas Schema Monitoring | ||
provides a set of tools and features to help you manage and monitor your database schema effectively. | ||
Teams install an agent (container) on their database VPC which tracks changes to the database schema and | ||
reports metadata to the Atlas Cloud control plane. Using this metadata Atlas Schema Monitoring provides: | ||
|
||
1. **Live visibility** of your database schema with automated ER diagrams and auto-generated documentation. | ||
2. A **Changelog** of schema changes, so you can see how schemas change over time, and easily triage schema | ||
change related issues. | ||
3. **Alerts** Use Webhooks or Slack notifications to inform or alert teams that need to know about | ||
schema changes or drift. | ||
|
||
Starting today, we are providng one free monitored instance to all signed up Atlas users. | ||
|
||
A [Live Demo](https://gh.atlasgo.cloud/instances/193273528321/dbs/188978561025/scopes/180388626433) is available for you | ||
to try out. | ||
|
||
#### How it works | ||
|
||
Atlas Cloud never has direct access to your database, instead it uses a middleman, the Atlas agent, to connect to your | ||
database instead. In order for this to work, the agent needs to be installed somewhere with network connectivity to the | ||
database, usually within the same VPC as the database. In addition, the agent should have outbound connectivity to your | ||
cloud account (e.g.,https://your-tenant.atlasgo.cloud). | ||
|
||
The agent then starts polling Atlas Cloud for work. Once assigned a task, it connects to the database and executes the | ||
task, e.g. "take a snapshot" and then reports back the result to Atlas Cloud. The Agent does not read or report back any | ||
user data, only meta information about the database schema. | ||
|
||
To read more about the key concepts and features of Atlas Schema Monitoring, head over to the | ||
[Overview](/monitoring/overview) page. | ||
|
||
#### Getting started | ||
|
||
To get started with Schema Monitoring in under 5 minutes, head over to the [Quickstart](/monitoring/quickstart) guide. | ||
|
||
#### Security | ||
|
||
Atlas Schema Monitoring is designed with the principle of minimal access in mind. The Atlas agent is designed to only | ||
require read-only access to the database schema and only requires access to system information schema tables and not | ||
user data. | ||
|
||
Additionally, to provide further security and control, database credentials are never provided or stored in the Atlas | ||
Cloud control plane. Instead, the Atlas agent is deployed in your environment and connects to the database directly | ||
using a variety of secure methods. | ||
|
||
To learn more about how to securely provide database credentials to the Atlas agent, head over to the | ||
[Security and Credentials](/monitoring/security) guide. | ||
|
||
### Pay via AWS Marketplace {#aws-marketplace} | ||
|
||
![](https://atlasgo.io/uploads/blog/v027/aws-marketplace.png) | ||
|
||
Atlas users can now pay for their Atlas subscription via the [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/). This is a great option for users who | ||
prefer to consolidate their billing and payments in one place or have AWS credits they would like to use. | ||
|
||
To purchase Atlas quota via the AWS Marketplace, visit our | ||
[Product Page](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-moxc4333krar2). | ||
|
||
### Atlas HCL Doc Portal {#hcl-portal} | ||
|
||
![](https://atlasgo.io/uploads/blog/v027/hcl-docs.png) | ||
|
||
Atlas enables users manage their database schema as code. One of the popular ways to define the desired state of your | ||
is via the [Atlas HCL](/atlas-schema/hcl) data definition language. Additionally, users have a powerful | ||
[configuration language](/atlas-schema/projects) to define their project configuration. | ||
|
||
We have added a new [Atlas HCL Portal](/hcl/docs) to the documentation website, which contains always up to date, | ||
automatically generated documentation for the Atlas HCL language. | ||
|
||
### Wrapping Up | ||
|
||
That's all for this release! We hope you enjoy the new features and improvements. | ||
As always, we would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on our [Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/zZ6sWVg6NT). | ||
