# TimBL - May 2026 Roadmap

**Galactic VPC Underlay Network Requirements**   
Documented the must-have and should-have transport network requirements for Galactic VPC to operate as an overlay, giving the team a clear spec for what any underlay network needs to support cross-location workload interconnection.[\#709](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements/issues/709) 

**Initial Datum Edge PoP Design & Cost Model**   
Defined the hardware stack, switching infrastructure, compute flavors, transit/peering options, and unit economics for Datum's owned edge PoP locations - the blueprint for expanding to new regions at scale.[\#684](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements/issues/684) 

**Cohesive User Onboarding Experience**  
Designed a revised onboarding flow that supports commercial signup with billing account setup, passkey auth, credit incentives, fraud prevention, and staff whitelisting - laying the foundation for paid usage and a curated customer base. [\#730](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements/issues/730)

**Activity Timelines for Platform Services & Cloud Portal**  
Expanded human-readable activity timelines to all user-facing services (HTTP proxies, gateways, domains, connectors, IAM, secrets, etc.) and brought them into the cloud portal so users can see exactly what changed, when, and by whom without parsing raw audit logs. [\#666](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements/issues/666)

**Centralized Org-Wide Activity Stream**  
Built a unified organization-level activity log that aggregates activity across all projects, with filtering by user, resource type, and time range, giving org admins a single place to audit everything happening across their organization.  [\#480](https://github.com/datum-cloud/enhancements/issues/480)
