# 2026-04-14: CE - Extension and Cloud Function Hosting

## Overview

We are happy to introduce managed extension hosting and cloud function deployment directly in the Emporix Management Dashboard.

This new capability allows customers and partners to upload, deploy and operate extensions on Emporix infrastructure without having to build and maintain their own hosting setup. This means less operational complexity, faster time-to-value, and a smoother path from implementation to commercialisation. Teams have full transparency over usage, releases and ownership.
