Releasesby IbisFaster Heroku Postgres migrations with deferred index rebuilds
Update3 days agoUnverifiedAdded Oct 24, 2026
We've updated the Heroku Migrator so Heroku Postgres migrations are faster and cover more databases. The initial copy will now drop secondary indexes on PlanetScale and rebuild them after the data lands. This keeps a single bad index from restarting a multi-hour copy.

More PlanetScale releases
Every PlanetScale releasePostgres 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. Read more
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.
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 . From the dashboard or the CLI, you can cancel a router session's running query or terminate the session. Cancelling stops the statement and keeps the connection open.
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. Open a Materialize workflow to see its stream states, replication lag, and the tables it materializes with the query that feeds each one.
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. This keeps long-running work like analytics, reports, and exports off the instances that handle live traffic and failover.
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. On these sizes, you'll pick storage capacity separately from vCPU and memory. The capacity stays fixed after you select it. Read more
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. 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.
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.
