Conversational analytics now supports predictive modeling questions using the AI.PREDICT function
Conversational analytics now supports predictive modeling questions using the AI.PREDICT function . This feature is in Preview .
Add and drop hybrid table constraints online (General availability)
With this release, you can add and drop UNIQUE and FOREIGN KEY constraints on an existing hybrid table by using alter table . Previously, you had to define these constraints when you created the table, so adding a foreign key to a table that was already serving a workload meant recreating and reloading the table.
Shadow traffic for gateways (Preview)
With this preview release, you can use a shadow traffic gateway to send all production requests to a primary service endpoint while mirroring a percentage of those requests to one or more shadow endpoints. Responses from shadow endpoints aren't returned to clients.
The partner-powered AI features setting will be removed
On November 1, 2026, Databricks will remove the account- and workspace-level toggle for partner-powered AI features. Each workspace will keep its current setting value: if the setting is enabled, it stays enabled, and if it's disabled, it stays disabled. Removing the toggle doesn't change any setting values.
Incremental ingestion for Salesforce formula fields in Lakeflow Connect will soon be generally available
Incremental ingestion for Salesforce formula fields in Lakeflow Connect will soon be generally available. Today, Lakeflow Connect ingests formula fields by taking a full snapshot on each pipeline run by default. When incremental formula field ingestion is generally available, full snapshots will no longer be the default.
ABAC DENY policies are in Beta

Neki is now available in platform preview
Neki, our sharded Postgres product, is now available in platform preview. Neki is horizontally sharded Postgres built to solve the problems that come with large scale. Every shard is real Postgres, and Neki handles routing, resharding, online schema changes, and version upgrades, all with a single connection string.
Authorization header for webhooks
You can now set an Authorization header on webhooks. Pass the full value, scheme included, like Bearer . PlanetScale sends it unchanged with every delivery. Use it when the receiving service needs a token. That includes webhook-triggered Cursor and Devin automations. Set it in the dashboard or with --authorization-header on the CLI. Read more
Enable or disable the tablet throttler per keyspace
You can now turn a Vitess keyspace's tablet throttler on or off, and set the replication lag threshold. When the throttler is enabled, schema migrations and VReplication workflows pause while replication lag is above the threshold. The setting applies across all shards in the keyspace.
Control shard rollout concurrency per keyspace
You can now control how many shards in a Vitess keyspace PlanetScale updates concurrently during a configuration rollout. Keyspaces use a default concurrency of 1. Set a value from 1 to 32 to shorten rollouts for keyspaces with many shards while choosing how many shards change at the same time.
Run Vitess MoveTables from the pscale CLI
You can now run Vitess MoveTables workflows from pscale with pscale branch vtctld move-tables . Use it to copy tables between keyspaces, watch copy and traffic state, switch replica then primary traffic, and complete or cancel the workflow. JSON output includes a helpful next_steps field with a suggested next command.
TIN: Postgres full-text search
We're introducing TIN, a full-featured, highly performant full-text search extension for Postgres. TIN supports full-text search that works like Postgres. Create an index with CREATE INDEX . Search it with WHERE column ==> 'terms...' . Rank results with BM25. Backups, transactions, and row insertions and updates work the way they should.
Lead: run full-text search queries in your CI
We've just released a second full-text search extension for Postgres, called Lead . This one's open source, so you can run it in your CI, dev, and staging environments, even fully offline. It has the same features as TIN, the full-featured, highly performant full-text search extension we announced yesterday .
Per-shard sizing for Vitess
We've added the ability to adjust VTTablet sizes for individual shards in a Vitess keyspace. Enable per-shard sizing on the keyspace Shards tab, then set a cluster size on any shard. Shards you don't change will keep using the keyspace default.
