MCP server: Send feedback and questions to PlanetScale
We've added two tools to the PlanetScale MCP server that let your AI agent tell us what got in its way.
P
Emergency backups for Vitess databases
We've added emergency backups to Vitess databases. An emergency backup will copy data directly from your running database instead of starting from the previous backup. This ensures you can get a fresh backup right away, even when regular backups are failing.
P
Choose when Postgres maintenance restarts your database
Every Postgres database now has a maintenance window.Your database only restarts in its window when maintenance needs a restart, such as an image update. Your database administrators get an email at least 7 days ahead and again 3 days before. If the time doesn't work, you can move it to any upcoming window before its deadline, up to 3 times.
P
Manage Postgres storage configuration in Terraform
Manage Postgres storage configuration with v1.16.0 of the PlanetScale Terraform provider. Configure minimum and maximum storage, autoscaling, IOPS, and throughput in the planetscale_postgres_branch resource.
P
Egress bandwidth email notifications
We've enabled email notifications for Postgres and Neki databases to inform you when we detect higher than usual public network egress.
P
Service tokens include the last used IP, location, and network operator
Service tokens will now show the IP address they were last used from, along with the location and the organization that runs that network, such as an ISP or cloud provider. You'll find this in the dashboard, the API, and the CLI. This gives more visibility into how your tokens are being used.
P
More Vitess operations in the CLI and API
We've opened a wider set of Vitess operations on PlanetScale. Alongside MoveTables, you can now run Materialize, Lookup Vindex, VDiff, and PlannedReparentShard from pscale branch vtctl (alias vtctld), plus helpers like listing tablets and updating shard tablet controls.
P
Vitess Materialize workflows in the dashboard
The Workflows page for a Vitess branch now lists Materialize workflows alongside MoveTables workflows, with the type shown for each one.
P
Live connections for Neki
You can now see live connections to your Neki routers in the dashboard under Connections, or with pscale branch connections show and pscale branch connections top.
P
Postgres logical replication slots no longer need registration
We've removed the patroni.slots cluster parameter for Postgres logical replication. PlanetScale will now detect logical slots automatically, so you no longer need to add each slot name to your cluster configuration. Keep failover support enabled on your slots to preserve them during switchovers and failovers.
P
Faster Heroku Postgres migrations with deferred index rebuilds
We've updated the Heroku Migrator so Heroku Postgres migrations are faster and cover more databases.
P
Configure disk scaling for Vitess keyspaces
You can now control how disks in a Vitess keyspace are sized, from the dashboard, the API, or the pscale CLI. Let disks grow automatically up to a storage limit, turn growth off, or shrink disks with more capacity than you need.
P
Read-only replicas for Neki
We've added read-only replicas for Neki. You can now attach extra instances that copy from the primary and serve reads, without using the replicas that take over during failover.
P
Metal M-10 to M-160 sizes for Neki
We've added Metal sizes M-10 through M-160 for Neki on AWS. You can now run Neki on the same locally attached NVMe sizes already available for Postgres.
P
Enable huge pages for Postgres and Neki
You can now enable huge pages for your Postgres and Neki databases on supported cluster sizes. Huge pages reduce the memory and CPU overhead of managing PostgreSQL's shared memory.
P
CLI shows which Postgres and Neki parameters need an update
The PlanetScale CLI v0.346.0 shows when a parameter requires an update before you can configure it. Parameter listings now include a Requires update column for Postgres branches, and for Neki configuration profiles, admins, and sidecars.# Postgres branch parameters
P
PlanetScale CLI v0.346.0
The PlanetScale CLI v0.346.0 shows when a parameter requires an update before you can configure it. Parameter listings now include a Requires update column for Postgres branches, and for Neki configuration profiles, admins, and sidecars.# Postgres branch parameters
P
Manage Neki router parameters with Terraform
The PlanetScale Terraform provider v1.13.0 adds parameter management to planetscale_neki_router. You can configure router settings in Terraform and read them through the router data source.resource "planetscale_neki_router" "app" {
P
Terraform provider v1.13.0
The PlanetScale Terraform provider v1.13.0 adds parameter management to planetscale_neki_router. You can configure router settings in Terraform and read them through the router data source.resource "planetscale_neki_router" "app" {
P
PlanetScale is now available on Azure
We've added Microsoft Azure as a cloud provider. You can now create PlanetScale Postgres and Neki databases in Azure regions, alongside the AWS and Google Cloud regions we already support. Vitess databases are not currently available on Azure.
P
Vitess aggressive cutover for a single deploy request
You can now opt a single deploy request into aggressive cutover from the CLI and API.pscale deploy-request create --aggressive-cutover
P
MCP server: Branch metrics
The PlanetScale MCP server can now check your database's metrics. planetscale_get_branch_metrics pulls CPU, memory, disk, replication lag, and connections into your AI assistant, so you can see those numbers without leaving your editor.
P
Retry a partially failed deploy request
Vitess deploy request's now have the ability to recover from partial failures. If part of a migration has failed, the deploy request page will now provide the option to retry the failing tables instead of starting the entire deploy over.
P
Limit MCP query access for an organization
Organization administrators can now limit the database query access members grant to MCP clients. In organization settings, MCP query access can be set to no query access, read-only queries, or read and write queries.
P
Postgres dedicated read replicas
PlanetScale Postgres now supports independently configurable dedicated read replicas.
P
Change Vitess keyspace parameters from the CLI
We've added pscale keyspace parameters to the CLI. You can now view and change the VTTablet and MySQL parameters of a Vitess keyspace from your terminal.pscale keyspace parameters set mydb main mydb --org acme \
P
New reparent metrics for Prometheus
We've added two Prometheus metrics that show when a shard's primary changed, and why:
P
Choose a role when inviting organization members
We've updated organization invitations so you can pick a member's role before you send the invite. New members will now join with the role you selected instead of defaulting to Organization Member.
P
Schema recommendation webhooks for Postgres
branch.schema_recommendation webhooks will now fire for Postgres databases when PlanetScale creates a new schema recommendation.
P
Set a development branch limit
You can now control how many development branches a database is allowed to have. The default is 100.
