Faster Session Startup
We’ve reworked how sessions are launched behind the scenes, and the result is a big step forward: sessions now start up much faster on the very first run. This means less waiting and more time focusing on your experiments and analyses. Whether you’re starting fresh after creating a new environment or spinning up a session to process data, the improved responsiveness will be immediately clear.
To unlock this improvement, you’ll need to rebuild your environment once. After rebuilding, every session started from that environment will benefit from the enhanced startup performance. This is a small one-time action that pays off with smoother, faster workflows.
For scientists and teams who start and stop sessions frequently, this change is particularly impactful. Faster startups translate to fewer interruptions, easier iteration, and more time spent on research rather than waiting for infrastructure. It also makes it easier to collaborate, as colleagues can now access working sessions more quickly when environments are shared or reused.
