Recently shipped PlanetScale Postgres and Neki databases on Microsoft Azure, plus retryable and aggressive-cutover deploy requests.

**Azure joins AWS and Google Cloud.** Postgres and Neki databases can now be created in Azure regions with the same features as other clouds — high availability, branching, Query Insights, automated backups, and Metal clusters. Vitess databases aren't available on Azure yet.

**Deploy requests recover instead of restarting.** A partially failed Vitess migration can retry only the failed tables with `pscale deploy-request retry`, leaving healthy tables at their existing progress. Aggressive cutover is now opt-in per deploy request from the CLI and API, changeable any time before you deploy, and flagged in `show` and `queue`.

**MCP clients can read branch metrics.** `planetscale_get_branch_metrics` pulls CPU, memory, disk, replication lag, and connections into an AI assistant, for Vitess, Postgres, and Neki. The default summary covers the last hour.

**Parameter changes now say what they need first.** CLI v0.346.0 adds a **Requires update** column for Postgres branch and Neki parameters, plus a `requires_update` JSON field. Terraform provider v1.13.0 manages Neki router parameters and filters databases by `kind`; if you manage Postgres bouncers with Terraform, upgrade, since earlier providers can't read them after recent changes to how PgBouncer parameters are reported.

**Still standing from earlier releases:**
- Postgres dedicated read replicas scale independently of the primary cluster.
- MySQL databases import with no downtime through `pscale branch vtctl move-tables`, which replaces the deprecated `pscale workflow`.
- `pscale keyspace parameters` views and sets VTTablet and MySQL parameters per keyspace.
- TIN 1.0.4 added word stemming and bounded top-k score tie-breaking.
- database-js 2.0.0 dropped parameter interpolation and requires Node 22.
