Release status page

ClickHouse Cloud offers different release channels to cater to different user needs regarding stability, access to new features, and upgrade predictability. Each channel has a distinct upgrade schedule and is meant to address the different usecases - for users that want instant access to new releases and those that want to defer upgrades to ensure they receive the most stable version of the release.

Note

All single replica services are automatically enrolled in the Fast release channel.

Scheduled upgrade windows are available for all release channels for services in the Enterprise tier. This feature allows you to configure a time window on a given day of the week for upgrades.

## Release schedule[​](#release-schedule "Direct link to Release schedule")

Understanding release dates

The dates shown below indicate when ClickHouse **begins the rollout** to each release channel, not when your individual service will be upgraded.

- Rollouts are automated and occur gradually over multiple weeks
- Services with configured scheduled upgrade windows are upgraded during their scheduled window in the week after the channel rollout ends (starting on Monday 00:00 UTC)
- Rollout completion may be delayed due to rollout pauses (e.g., holiday freezes) or health monitoring

For advance testing before production upgrades, use the Fast or Regular channel for non-production services and the Slow channel for production services.
