What's new at Domino

Domino offers two ways to classify your work. Tags let you sort items into a structured set of categories and values, kept consistent across your organization. Properties let you attach open-ended details, like dates or IDs, to individual items. Both work across Apps, Projects, Project Templates, Datasets, NetApp Volumes, and Models, and both feed into a single search experience.

Why it matters:

• Tags reflect how your organization structures work, kept consistent through centrally managed controls
• Properties capture free-form details, such as a last-validated date or an internal model ID.
• Find what already exists through global search, filters, and tag browsing

Domino Extensions is a framework to embed domain-specific tools directly inside the UI. Surfacing in project sidebars, dataset views, file action menus, and admin navs, they have full visibility into project state, dataset contents, and user identity and inherit Domino's reproducibility, governance, auditability, and API access out of the box.

Why it matters:

• Users stay in their flow, with the right tool appearing in context instead of in a separate window or app.
• Every extension inherits Domino's enterprise controls automatically, no per-tool security review or extra configuration required.
• Teams can build for any vertical, role, or workflow and deploy directly into Domino, without standing up parallel infrastructure.

Domino workspaces provide persistent, governed context across the full AI lifecycle. Coding assistants ship pre-installed with full access to your project, data, and infrastructure.

Why it matters:

• Everything is captured in the audit trail, with full parameter lineage and reproducibility
• Agents see your project files, datasets, and platform resources.
• Three agents, zero setup: Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex are ready to use the moment you open a workspace.

Domino enables teams to securely host and serve large language models (LLMs) within their own infrastructure, deploying them as high-performance GenAI endpoints.

Benefits:

• Host LLMs inside private infrastructure or VPCs with fine-grained access controls
• Reduce operational costs with efficient model storage and runtime mounting
• Maintain full observability into latency, token usage, and system behavior

Domino introduces framework-agnostic instrumentation for agent-based systems, enabling teams to trace and monitor agent interactions from development through production using a single SDK.

Benefits:

• Capture detailed traces including inputs, outputs, tokens, latencies, and tool calls
• Gain full visibility into agent behavior across complex, multi-step workflows
• Automatically associate traces with prompts, models, datasets, and code versions

Teams can visualize, evaluate, and compare agentic systems with both summary and trace-level detail, using shared metrics and complete configuration lineage to support consistent, repeatable evaluation.

Benefits:

• Compare prompts, models, parameters, and agent configurations side by side
• Drill down from aggregate metrics to individual interaction traces
• Evaluate different frameworks and models in the same experiment

Domino closes the gap between experimentation and deployment by enabling teams to deploy agentic systems directly from evaluation results, with the system of record ensuring what is deployed exactly matches what was evaluated.

Benefits:

• Eliminate manual handoffs and brittle deployment scripts
• Reduce risk by deploying fully evaluated, traceable systems
• Maintain complete lineage and auditability across environments

The same instrumentation used during development continues to operate in production, enabling continuous or scheduled monitoring and evaluation of real-world agent behavior, user feedback, and rapid restoration into a workspace for iteration.

Benefits:

• Monitor production performance with real-time traces and dashboards
• Detect regressions through scheduled evaluations
• Rapidly iterate by reopening production systems with one-click for further experimentation

Using the Domino Nexus architecture, run AI workloads in AWS regions where your data lives or compute costs less — all managed by Domino. Get multi-region capability with enterprise-grade security while eliminating infrastructure management burden.

Benefits:

• Run AI workloads closer to data for performance and compliance
• Eliminate infrastructure management with built-in monitoring and autoscaling
• Future-proof your infrastructure with an open, multi-region architecture that avoids vendor lock-in and improves resilience

Select the most cost-effective instance types for AI workloads on AWS. Training jobs and batch processes run on discounted Spot Instances with intelligent failover to on-demand resources when needed.

Benefits:

• Reduce costs 50–60% for non-critical AI workloads
• Automatically fallback to on-demand if spot is interrupted
• Enforce team-level policies for cost governance

AI applications automatically scale compute resources based on real user demand. Apps scale down to a minimal footprint during idle periods, so you only pay for actual usage.

Benefits:

• Autoscale app compute based on real usage
• Reduce idle costs without manual intervention
• Support any framework: Streamlit, Dash, Shiny, and more

Enterprise-wide discovery and access to AI applications. Any user across the organization — from executives to business users — can find and access AI apps built for their role with one-click access requests to applications.

Enterprise benefits:

• Discover apps across projects, teams, and orgs
• Streamlined access requests with in-line notifications
• Enable safe enterprise-wide app usage

Self-service observability with dedicated Grafana dashboards. Monitor model API health, execution health, and infrastructure status without filing support tickets.

Benefits:

• Monitor execution health and status: Troubleshoot performance by spotting resource bottlenecks and image pull delays; track success rates and failure types to optimize performance across your deployment.
• Track model endpoint reliability: Monitor the health, response times, and traffic of your model APIs to ensure production-ready endpoints that meet your SLA requirements.
• Observe data plane agent performance: Monitor the health and connectivity of the agents that manage executions and Kubernetes resources to detect delays and capacity issues.

Accelerate R workflows with GxP-ready, reproducible environments. Domino now includes a built-in panel for RStudio and VS Code that simplifies GxP-compliant R development. Search for and select validated Posit Package Manager (PPM) snapshots, auto-generate install commands, and lock environments with confidence — all from within RStudio or VS Code.

Benefits:

• Lock package versions to ensure consistency and reproducibility
• Access packages offline in secure or air-gapped environments
• Track package usage for audit and compliance visibility

Built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection shield your AI infrastructure from common exploits and distributed attacks, powered by AWS WAF and AWS Shield.

Benefits:

• Web Application Firewall blocks common exploits
• DDoS protection shields infrastructure
• Audit-ready security controls built-in

Domino now remembers every package you install and every IDE tweak you make. Check two boxes at launch and your Python/R libraries — and everything under $HOME — come back exactly as you left them, no Docker edits required. Result: seconds to restart, minutes back in your day.

• No re-installs between sessions: Persist installed packages and $HOME configs across sessions so you can shut down your workspace without any Dockerfile or requirements.txt rituals
• Faster workspace startup times, faster iterations: Since the packages and $HOME persists, there is no need to re-set up configs or package installs when restarting the workspace

When an admin updates a base environment — say, a new CUDA image — Domino can automatically rebuild every subscribed child environment. You can decide which environments are subscribed and pin the “Active” revision for safe testing of the newly rebuilt revision. Compliance stays tight; stale images are a problem of the past.

• Ensure security patches and policies are uniformly applied: Automatically propagate base-environment updates to all subscribed environments
• Upgrade without breakage: Use active revision pinning — test new environment revisions before workloads adopt them

Secure SSH tunnels let VS Code, Cursor, Paraview, or any SSH-enabled desktop tool talk directly to Domino workspaces. Keep your extensions, themes, and code agents handy while code execution runs on governed, scalable compute — no key management, no VNC lag.

• Personalize and scale your environment: Keep themes and extensions using your favorite local AI-enabled IDE via SSH
• Accelerate development with your AI IDEs: Use your local AI-enabled IDE like VS Code or Cursor and connect it to the workspace
• Optimize compute resources for scientific workflows: Offload heavy compute and graphics jobs to Domino
• Secure, SSO-enabled access: Just use Domino single sign-on, no need to create, maintain, or rotate SSH keys
