About PlanetScale
PlanetScale ships Database Traffic Control to govern Postgres query loads — and a read-only MCP server for safe agent access.
Recent PlanetScale releases cluster around three themes: a new resource-governance product called Database Traffic Control (with warning thresholds and CLI management), Postgres Postgres infrastructure work (storage configuration at creation, vectorscale extension support, deploy request storage check API), and AI integration plumbing (an Insights-only MCP server variant). The platform also added a GCP region in Eemshaven, Netherlands.
