Releasesby IbisEnable huge pages for Postgres and Neki
UpdateyesterdayUnverifiedAdded Oct 16, 2026
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. Set huge_pages to on in the Parameters tab on the Clusters page for Postgres, or in a configuration profile's Parameters tab for Neki. Applying this change requires a restart.

More PlanetScale releases
Every PlanetScale releaseCLI 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.
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.
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. To get started, choose Azure as the cloud provider when creating a new database, then pick a region.
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 pscale deploy-request update --aggressive-cutover pscale deploy-request update --aggressive-cutover=false You can change this any time before you deploy the schema change.
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. It works for Vitess, Postgres, and Neki.
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. Retry will restart the migration for only the failed tables.
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. This applies the next time someone authorizes an MCP client.
Postgres dedicated read replicas
PlanetScale Postgres now supports independently configurable dedicated read replicas. Create one or more dedicated read replicas in the primary region or another region from the same cloud provider. Configure the cluster size, replica count, storage, and supported Postgres parameters independently from the primary cluster.
