This page lists the release notes of [TiDB Cloud](https://www.pingcap.com/tidb-cloud/) in 2026.

## April 28, 2026

**General changes**

- **TiDB Cloud Premium**

- [TiDB Cloud Premium](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidbcloud/premium/?plan=premium) is now in public preview on AWS and Alibaba Cloud.

Powered by the [TiDB X](/tidb-cloud/tidb-x-architecture.md) kernel, TiDB Cloud Premium is specifically designed for mission-critical enterprise workloads that require hyperscale, uncompromising performance, and the cost efficiency of a cloud-native consumption model.

TiDB Cloud Premium bridges the gap between TiDB Cloud Essential and TiDB Cloud Dedicated.

- Compared with TiDB Cloud Essential, TiDB Cloud Premium delivers significantly stronger isolation across the compute, storage, and network layers, ensuring predictable performance for critical workloads. At the same time, it retains an elastic, on-demand scaling model, allowing compute capacity to scale independently without operational overhead.
- Compared with TiDB Cloud Dedicated, TiDB Cloud Premium improves cost efficiency by eliminating idle headroom, so you only pay for the performance you actually use.

According to the Repository Style Guide, you should avoid unnecessary words like "specifically" and "significantly". Also, the indentation of paragraphs should align with the start of the text in the parent list item (6 spaces for paragraphs under a 4-space indented list item).

- **TiDB Cloud Dedicated**

- TiProxy is now available for TiDB Cloud Dedicated clusters on AWS. It provides enhanced connection management and load balancing to improve database reliability and performance.

Key features of TiProxy:

- Maintains persistent client connections during scaling operations and rolling upgrades.
- Distributes traffic evenly across TiDB nodes for better resource utilization.

For implementation details, see the [Overview of TiProxy](/tidb-cloud/tiproxy-overview-for-cloud.md).

**Console changes**

- Improve the firewall rule management experience for public endpoints of TiDB Cloud Starter and Essential.

The TiDB Cloud console now provides a streamlined dialog for managing firewall rules for public endpoints in TiDB Cloud Starter and Essential. You can add your current IP address, allow access from all AWS IP addresses for AWS-hosted instances, or manually specify an IP address or IP address range in one place.

For more information, see [Create and manage a firewall rule](/tidb-cloud/configure-serverless-firewall-rules-for-public-endpoints.md#create-and-manage-a-firewall-rule).
