# Roadmap
We plan and ship in monthly cycles. Each cycle is named for a cultural, literary or scientific pioneer whose story connects to the work we're doing.
Here's a view of the road ahead. Vote for your favorites, or [request a new feature on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/datum-cloud/discussions/categories/feature-requests).
