Authenticate to the PlanetScale API with OpenID Connect
PlanetScale now supports authentication to its API using OpenID Connect (OIDC) from GitHub Actions and Depot CI. This allows workflows to use short-lived service tokens instead of long-lived credentials.
MCP server: Dedicated egress IPs
The PlanetScale MCP server now uses four dedicated IP addresses for database queries. Users with IP-restricted Postgres databases must add these addresses to their allowlists to maintain connectivity.
Manage Vitess parameters with Terraform
The PlanetScale Terraform provider v1.18.0 now supports managing VTGate, VTTablet, and MySQL parameters. Users can configure these settings within vitess_branch and vitess_keyspace resources.
MCP server: Send feedback and questions to PlanetScale
We've added two tools to the PlanetScale MCP server that let your AI agent tell us what got in its way. planetscale_submit_feedback : report a problem, such as a wrong result, a confusing error, a documentation gap, or a missing tool. planetscale_ask_question : record a question the docs and tools couldn't answer, so we know where to fill the gap.
Emergency backups for Vitess databases
We've added emergency backups to Vitess databases. An emergency backup will copy data directly from your running database instead of starting from the previous backup. This ensures you can get a fresh backup right away, even when regular backups are failing. On production branches, you can choose to copy from the primary or from a replica.
Choose when Postgres maintenance restarts your database
PlanetScale now provides maintenance windows for Postgres databases, allowing users to schedule restarts for image updates and routine maintenance. Users can reschedule these windows via the dashboard or API.
Manage Postgres storage configuration in Terraform
PlanetScale's Terraform provider v1.16.0 now supports managing Postgres storage configuration, including autoscaling, IOPS, and throughput settings.
Egress bandwidth email notifications
PlanetScale now sends email notifications for Postgres and Neki databases when higher than usual public network egress is detected.
