Postgres traffic metrics now distinguish public and private access
Postgres ingress and egress metrics now include a new planetscale_access label. The label value public indicates public internet traffic, while private indicates traffic over private connections options such as AWS PrivateLink or GCP Private Service Connect.
The new label is available in the following metrics:
planetscale_edge_postgres_bytes_sent_totalplanetscale_edge_postgres_bytes_received_total
These labels help you differentiate between public and private traffic in your monitoring. Example use cases include:
- Tracking costs by access type
- Confirming when your applications have fully migrated to private connectivity before enabling IP restrictions
