<Summary type="rolling" window-days="90" release-count="24">
PlanetScale shipped a major expansion of its Postgres capabilities and operational tooling. Database Traffic Control arrived as a real-time query budget system with configurable warning thresholds and CLI management, addressing production reliability at scale. The Terraform provider graduated to v1 with full Vitess and Postgres support, while API coverage deepened across backup policies, maintenance schedules, and deploy request validation. On the observability side, new Insights metrics tracked MySQL response sizes, out-of-memory events triggered email notifications and webhooks, and the MCP server gained an insights-only variant alongside schema recommendation tools—enabling AI assistants to access performance data safely without query execution permissions.
</Summary>

<Summary type="monthly" period="March 2026" release-count="13">
March pushed traffic management and Postgres capabilities forward. Database Traffic Control shipped as a full feature for Postgres with real-time budget enforcement and warning thresholds, plus CLI and API support for managing rules. Postgres got vectorscale extension support, OOM email notifications, and a discovery tool for migration planning. Infrastructure tooling expanded with the Terraform v1 provider rewrite, maintenance schedule and backup policy APIs, and branch deletion now recursively removes descendants. BAA requests moved into the dashboard, and PlanetScale became available through Stripe Projects.
