flow v5.3.0
v5.3.0 was published on .
Release Summary
This release introduces two powerful new sidebar tools: the GitOps Plugin and the Secret Manager Plugin. These updates significantly streamline the developer experience by fully automating background synchronization with remote Git repositories and improving how your flows securely manage and access credentials.
New Features
GitOps Plugin: Seamlessly synchronize your deployed flows with a remote Git repository directly from the Flow Editor sidebar. Operating in PULL mode, the plugin automatically fetches updates, intelligently resolves and installs missing node dependencies, and applies changes in the background to ensure your live app stays continuously aligned with your remote Git repository as the source of truth.

Secret Manager Plugin: A new, dedicated sidebar dashboard to manage how your Flow App synchronizes with qibb’s Secret Manager. It automatically fetches and securely exposes space-specific secrets directly into your flow's global context. It features customizable sync intervals and a secure interface to verify available secret keys without exposing sensitive values. Learn more about this feature here: Secret Manager plugin for flows
Improvements
Optimized Flow App Resource Sizing: The app database, which is the backbone of the job management capabilities, now automatically adjusts its available compute and memory along with the selected Flow App deployment size (Small, Medium, Large).
Deprecations
Secret Manager Node Deprecation: With the introduction of the new Secret Manager Plugin in Flow App v5.3.0, the legacy Secret Manager node is no longer needed and can be removed from your flows. The Flow App will now proactively prompt you with a warning message if a legacy secret manager node is detected in your workspace.
We remain committed to improving Flow’s security, performance, and usability based on your valuable feedback. Together, we're building the best possible experience for designing and running your flows! 🚀
