Prefer instant for deploy requests
We've added a Prefer instant setting for Vitess databases. Admins can turn it on to default the deploy button to Deploy changes instantly when that option is available.
This only affects the dashboard. CLI and API deploys still require the --instant flag or instant_ddl parameter.
Instant deployments skip the usual online migration and cannot be reverted. They also take a brief metadata lock and will kill queries holding locks on the table. Read about when they're available and the risks before turning this on as a default.
