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.
