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 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 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.
