What is PlanetScale?

PlanetScale is building out Postgres while making every control reachable without the dashboard.

The Postgres line carries the new capability: vectorscale extension support, storage configurable at database creation, out-of-memory alerts by both email and webhook, a customisable log line prefix, a Discovery Tool for evaluating existing databases, and updated pricing for private connection traffic. Database Traffic Control introduced resource budgets and has since gained warning thresholds and CLI management. The surface work is constant — API endpoints for backup policies, maintenance schedules, schema recommendations, deploy-request storage checks and invoice status, a Terraform provider at v1, and an Insights-only MCP server.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

PlanetScale is building out Postgres while making every control reachable without the dashboard.

◆ Current state

The Postgres line carries the new capability: vectorscale extension support, storage configurable at database creation, out-of-memory alerts by both email and webhook, a customisable log line prefix, a Discovery Tool for evaluating existing databases, and updated pricing for private connection traffic. Database Traffic Control introduced resource budgets and has since gained warning thresholds and CLI management. The surface work is constant — API endpoints for backup policies, maintenance schedules, schema recommendations, deploy-request storage checks and invoice status, a Terraform provider at v1, and an Insights-only MCP server.

◆ Where it's heading

PlanetScale is doing two things at once: closing the gap between its Postgres offering and its MySQL heritage, and making every operation scriptable. The API, Terraform and MCP work share a single goal — nothing should require the dashboard — and the schema-recommendations feature landing simultaneously as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool is the clearest statement of it. Traffic Control is the exception, launched as a named product surface and then immediately given the same CLI and threshold treatment.

◆ Prediction

Expect the remaining Postgres parity items and more MCP tools mirroring existing REST endpoints, following the schema-recommendations pattern where both arrived together.

5.0

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
