Releasesby GlyphLead: 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 .

You can add unit tests to pipelines to validate your SQL transformation logic against mock datasets
You can add unit tests to pipelines to validate your SQL transformation logic against mock datasets. Unit tests for pipelines are generally available (GA).
Metastore-level ABAC policies are in Beta
Metastore-level ABAC policies are in Beta in Unity Catalog. You can now attach an ABAC policy (row filter, column mask, GRANT, or DENY) at the metastore level, so a single policy applies across every catalog in the metastore, including catalogs created later.
Moonshot AI Kimi K2.7 is scheduled for retirement
Moonshot AI Kimi K2.7 will be retired on October 30, 2026. Kimi K3 is the recommended replacement. See Deprecated and retired models for migration guidance.
HTML generation in Snowflake CoWork (Preview)
HTML generation is now available in preview as part of document generation in Snowflake CoWork. You can ask Snowflake CoWork to generate an HTML file from your analysis, the same way you generate a PDF or PowerPoint. Generation requires the Cortex Agent code execution tool on the associated agent.
Base environments are now supported on classic compute (Beta)
You can now use base environments to manage Python dependencies on classic compute. You can use Databricks-provided environments or custom workspace-level environments. See Manage dependencies using environments .
Snowpark Container Services backup instance types (General availability)
Backup instance types for Snowpark Container Services compute pools are now generally available and are no longer in Preview .

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.
Create and resize external Vitess keyspaces
You can now attach an existing MySQL database as an external keyspace on a Vitess production branch. PlanetScale runs an external tablet against that source so you can query it through Vitess without importing the data first.
Manage Neki extensions with Terraform and the CLI
You can now manage Neki extensions by name in Terraform and the pscale CLI, and change their settings in the same update. Terraform Enable pgvector with extensions and configure it with parameters : resource "planetscale_neki_configuration_profile" "analytics" { organization = "acme" database = "app" branch = "main" name = "analytics" extensions =...
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.
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.
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.
