pg_kpart version 1.0

Bangkok, Thailand - June 12, 2026 pg_kpart - Reject queries that scan all partitions without using the partition key pg_kpart is a PostgreSQL extension that rejects queries which would scan every partition of a partitioned table without a usable predicate on the partition key. It prevents accidental full-hierarchy scans caused by missing WHERE/JOIN conditions on the partition key. As a DBA, you have almost certainly run into queries that hit a partitioned table without using the partition key. O

Workflow SDK now supports inflight cancellation

The Workflow SDK 5 beta now supports the standard and APIs across workflow and step boundaries.AbortControllerAbortSignal Create a controller inside a workflow, pass its signal into one or more steps, and cancel in-flight operations using the same API already uses.fetch That signal stays durable across suspensions and deterministic replay. When a step is running, it sees the cancellation, even when it's in a separate function invocation. Cancellation is also cooperative; steps have to inspect

Workflow SDK now supports TanStack Start

At PlanetScale, that now means running stateful systems like Postgres and MySQL in production. Kubernetes has many faces, but here I want to talk about one face only: why it is so good at running workloads at scale. People ask me what an operator actually does. The canonical answer is: "it reconciles desired state." This is correct, but
