Releasesby GlyphNeki 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.

BigQuery conversational analytics adds ML.CORRELATION in preview
Conversational analytics can now use ML.CORRELATION to calculate statistical correlations between a target column and one or more metric columns in a table.
BigQuery ML.METRICS evaluates predictions without a stored model
The preview ML.METRICS function computes classification or regression evaluation metrics on any table or query with actual and predicted values, with no need to create or reference a stored model.
You can use the AI.CAUSAL_EFFECT function to quantify the impact of specific interventions on time series data
You can use the AI.CAUSAL_EFFECT function to quantify the impact of specific interventions on time series data. This feature is in Preview .
BigQuery Data Engineering Agent integrates with BigQuery Graph
The Data Engineering Agent now uses BigQuery Graph for extra context between source and destination schemas, improving schema mapping accuracy in data engineering pipelines. It is generally available.
Using dbt artifacts for Slim CI and defer to production in dbt Projects on Snowflake (General availability)
Slim CI, defer to production, failed-execution recovery, and concurrent execution are now generally available for dbt Projects on Snowflake. Reuse dbt artifacts from recent production executions to accelerate development, streamline CI/CD workflows, and recover from failed production runs without maintaining a separate artifact store.
External secret providers (Preview)
External secret providers are now in preview. If your organization already keeps API keys, database passwords, and similar values in AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud Secret Manager, Snowflake can read those values when a query needs them, so you don't have to maintain a second copy in a Snowflake secret .

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.
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
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.
