New move-tables commands replace pscale workflow

September 29, 2026

Run Vitess MoveTables workflows from the pscale CLI with pscale branch vtctl move-tables:

• list shows the workflows on a branch, across every keyspace
• create starts copying tables into a target keyspace
• status shows copy progress and which keyspace is serving traffic
• start and stop resume or pause a workflow
• switch-traffic and reverse-traffic move reads and writes to the target keyspace, or back
• complete finishes a workflow, and cancel abandons one that's still in progress

Verify your data before you switch traffic with pscale branch vtctl vdiff. The Workflows page in the dashboard shows each workflow's live state from Vitess.

pscale branch vtctl move-tables list mydb main --org acme --format json

These commands replace the pscale workflow commands, which will be deprecated along with the /workflows API endpoints. They give you more control over each step of a workflow, and more of what Vitess can do: they run the same MoveTables commands that Vitess runs through vtctld.
