The latest release of Pomerium v0.31 focuses on reliability and simplicity.
This version introduces a self-healing file-based databroker, fine-grained health checks for zero-downtime deployments, and MCP support in Pomerium Zero to make it easier to build and secure internal AI tools.
Developers can now secure MCP servers with access to internal data sources and safely connect them to public LLMs via Pomerium with no OAuth code to write and no manual credential handling. Pomerium Zero manages authentication and token validation.
We’re already testing some existing new features, so stay tuned for some more MCP goodness to land in Pomerium Zero just in time to hack on during the holidays.
Pomerium now includes an optional file-based databroker backend that removes the complexity of running and maintaining Postgres.
It provides fast, automatic recovery across Kubernetes, virtual machines, and bare metal environments.
Highlights
Automatic recovery when a node fails
Runs in any environment without running a separate database
Keeps sessions and data persistent through restarts
A simple configuration enables the new backend:
databroker_storage_type: file
databroker_storage_connection_string: file:///var/pomerium/databroker
Version 0.31 adds improved health checks across Kubernetes, AWS ECS, and systemd environments.
These checks verify that every internal Pomerium dependency is ready before traffic is routed, ensuring clean startups and graceful shutdowns.
Benefits
Prevents new pods from serving requests before initialization
Waits for active connections to drain before shutdown
Enables rolling updates and autoscaling without downtime
The pomerium health command provides a consistent readiness check across all orchestrators with no extra configuration.
Pomerium v0.31 improves operational resilience across all environments.
The file-based databroker simplifies storage and recovery
Smarter health checks ensure predictable rollouts
MCP support in Pomerium Zero makes it easy to build secure agentic workflows
