Changelog

We’ve updated our Scaler plan to make it a better option for our users. As a part of these changes, we’ll be including 500 million rows read, 50 million rows written, and 25 GB of storage in the plan and charging a monthly fee of $29. For usage and storage above the included amounts, we’ll be charging $1.50 per 10 million row reads, $1.50 per 1 million row writes, and $1.25 per GB of storage.

For larger organizations, we now offer a customizable, resource-based Enterprise plan that includes features like Single sign-on, unlimited database branches, premium support, and more.

To ensure we can provide the best quality service for our free Developer plan databases, we will be limiting the number of Developer plan databases to one per organization.

We’ve made a few changes to how branches work in PlanetScale. Now whenever you create a database, your main branch will be a development branch by default, allowing you to start making changes to the schema instantaneously, without needing to use deploy requests. When you're done hacking around and ready to make your database production-ready, you can promote your branch to production, which enables high-availability and direct DDL protection (sorry Little Bobby Tables). Additionally, you can promote multiple branches if you so desire, so if you want to have a staging database branch that’s also protected, we can do that for you!

Lastly, we’ve introduced the concept of a default branch. Before, main was the default branch and that wasn’t able to be changed. But now, you can select whatever you want as the default branch. One thing to note, the first branch that gets promoted to production will become the default branch.

We’ve made it easier to manage your PlanetScale organizations by allowing users to set a default organization. Once set, users will land in the default organization every time they sign in.

To set a default organization, head over to your user settings and select your default organization from the drop down.

We’ve added a web console to make working with your PlanetScale database even easier. You can now run through the database branch lifecycle using just the website, no need to switch between apps to connect to your database branch and run commands.

The PlanetScale web console is an interactive interface for running MySQL queries and DDL (Create, Alter, & Delete) against your PlanetScale database branches.

We have added three new regions in Asia Pacific to PlanetScale. Now you can deploy databases in Mumbai, Tokyo, and Singapore.

Starting today, all PlanetScale database branches now track statistics about each SQL query that has executed against it without any overhead. This allows users to identify queries that are running too frequently, returning too large of a result set, or require an index to return results more quickly. You can read about how we’re using this feature to optimize queries in our latest blog post.

We’ve made it even easier to use a PlanetScale database with the framework of your choice. Now, you can automatically persist schema changes in your framework’s migration table.

Set up automatic migrations with your first deploy request by selecting the framework of your choice. If the framework you’re using isn’t listed, select “Other” and enter the name of the migration tracking table.

Once set up, you’ll never have to worry about keeping the framework’s migration table up to date. It will happen automatically.

We are excited to announce that we have achieved SOC 2 type II compliance. We take security very seriously at PlanetScale, and this is just one of the many measures we are taking to ensure the continuous security and integrity of data stored on our platform.

You can now use the tools you're familiar with to connect to PlanetScale databases, whether that’s with Rails, Python, Prisma, Laravel, or any other MySQL client. Connection strings are built for serverless scale and enable you to connect to other serverless computing platforms like AWS Lambda or Vercel.

Within PlanetScale, you can generate a new password and automatically get client code for many popular frameworks and languages for you to connect your PlanetScale database.

PlanetScale connection strings are built with security as a priority, so you can spend less time worrying if your database connections are secure. This includes strong passwords that are never stored in plain text, GitHub Secret Scanning, and native MySQL authentication support.

We’ve added two new regions US West (Oregon) and EU West (Dublin, Ireland), and we’ll be adding more regions in the future.

We have also added the ability to deploy branches near where you develop. Deploy your production branch near your users and develop on a branch in your region to avoid unnecessary latency.

Administrators now have access to an organization level Audit Log which tracks all user actions and events providing insight, transparency, and security for your databases.

Single Sign-On (SSO) is now available for Enterprise plans and as an add-on to the Scaler plan. SSO provides additional account security by allowing company administrators to require the use of an identity provider when logging into PlanetScale. Users only need to sign in once with a single set of credentials (i.e. password and email) to access all of their tools and applications.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) prevents unauthorized access to your user account. MFA strengthens security by requiring two or more methods (i.e. authentication factors) to verify your identity. We strongly recommend enabling MFA for your account.

If you're authenticating via GitHub OAuth or SSO, MFA settings will not be displayed
