How to update your cluster
To check if your cluster has any available updates, go to the Clusters page in your PlanetScale dashboard and look for the “Cluster update available” indicator.If you make any other cluster changes that require a cluster restart, such as enabling an extension, we will roll out the latest updates during that cluster restart.
1
Click the “Queue update” button on your Clusters page. This will queue the updates without immediately starting the update process.
2
You should see “This cluster has queued changes”. You can batch additional cluster changes before applying them if needed.
3
Once you’re ready, click “Apply changes”.
4
In the confirmation modal, review the warning that applying changes will close any open connections. Make sure your application is equipped to handle closed connections, then click “Apply changes” to confirm.
5
You can view the status of your changes under the Changes tab.
