PlanetScale's latest SOC 2 Type 2+ HIPAA report covering the period of June 16, 2025 to June 15, 2026 is now available to customers. Our SOC 1 Type 2 report covering the same period is also available.
You can now add an optional description when creating or editing a Postgres IP restriction rule in the dashboard. Descriptions appear in the IP restrictions table, making rules easier to identify.
PlanetScale for Postgres now supports the roaringbitmap extension, a compressed bitmap data type for efficient set operations such as union, intersection, difference, and cardinality.
The pscale CLI now includes two read-only diagnostic commands for Postgres and Vitess databases:
Query Insights for Vitess databases now tracks the request size of your MySQL queries, with 3 new columns in the data section of the queries table.
You can now view and update Postgres cluster configuration parameters directly from the pscale CLI, alongside cluster size and replica changes.
The PlanetScale Terraform provider v1.5.0 adds planetscale_postgres_bouncer, a Postgres-only resource for managing dedicated PgBouncers. You can set the bouncer's size, target (primary, replica, or replica_az_affinity), replica count, and PgBouncer parameter overrides, and Terraform will detect drift if any of those change outside your configuration.
The pscale role list command for Postgres and pscale password list for Vitess now support --name and --status filters. Name filters use substring matching. Status filters narrow results to active, renewable, or expired credentials.
Updates to schema changes now automatically dismiss deploy request approvals. This ensures that only changes your team reviewed can make it to production.
Query Insights pages now include a new graph tab that lets you plot a time series of any of the available query metrics. Pick a metric from the tab's dropdown — total, CPU, and I/O time, rows read and returned, block cache hit ratio, bytes returned, and more — and see it as a full-size graph over the selected time range.
We have added a new instance class for Postgres Metal databases: i8ge. These are our most storage-dense Metal instances yet, pairing each size with a much larger locally-attached NVMe drive: from 1.25 TB on an M-160 all the way up to 60 TB on an M-7680.
We've launched the PlanetScale Migration Assessment Tool, a public and free tool for planning Postgres migrations to PlanetScale.
Query Insights data is now available through the public PlanetScale API. New endpoints let you programmatically access everything you see in the Insights dashboard:
You can now configure Vitess read-only regions per keyspace from the Clusters page in the dashboard. Choose a cluster size and a number of replicas for each region.
Postgres roles can now be created with the REPLICATION attribute through the PlanetScale API, dashboard, CLI, and Terraform provider.
The pscale CLI now has first-class support for AI agents and automation. Version 0.292.0 and later include:
You can now download Query Insights query pattern reports from the pscale CLI for both Postgres and Vitess branches.
We've made an improvement to the Connect button for Postgres databases. Now, when clicking the Connect button, you will see your database's existing active roles as well as have the ability to create new ones. Previously, existing roles were only available on the Roles page.
We have added more configuration options for Vitess databases. You can now configure VTTablet and MySQL settings directly from the Clusters page in the dashboard.
Query Insights now shows how your queries use vindexes on sharded Vitessdatabases. For each query, you can see the percentage of traffic that usedrelevant vindexes, as well as a graph of the vindexes used over time. This makesit easy to spot queries that aren't taking advantage of indexes and identify theimpact of index modifications on query performance.
Query Insights now supports tag-based filtering and navigation for Vitess databases. Use built-in query metadata or flexible SQLCommenter tags to understand which applications, routes, jobs, or other workloads are behind your query patterns.
The PlanetScale Terraform provider v1.3.0 adds planetscale_postgres_redacted_branch_role, a Postgres-only resource that works like planetscale_postgres_branch_role but does not store the plaintext password in Terraform state.
The PlanetScale MCP server has two improvements for read queries.
The Postgres web console now reassigns tables created during a console session to the postgres role shortly after the session ends.
Postgres branches can host multiple logical databases, and the web console now lets you pick which one to connect to. Use the database selector in the console header to switch between databases on the same branch without leaving the page.
Weekly database reports for Postgres now include egress from the past week. The new metrics make it easier to track outbound data transfer alongside query performance, schema recommendations, traffic control activity, storage, CPU, and memory usage.
We've released several improvements to the PlanetScale web console:
The PlanetScale MCP server can now help you debug high CPU usage on Postgres databases. The planetscale_get_insights tool returns query patterns sorted by CPU usage, so your AI assistant can quickly find which queries are driving CPU spikes.
You can now manage backups and backup policies for both Vitess and Postgres databases directly from Terraform.
The backups page now displays more results by default. Date filters default to all time, showing the full backup history across the retention period.
