Summary

PlanetScale now supports instant deployment requests for eligible schema changes, reducing runtime to near-instantaneous completion. This feature is optional per request and still offers Online DDL as the default and safest strategy. Instant deployments are available for certain MySQL ALTER TABLE statements and table or view modifications. However, they are not revertible and may cause a multi-second lock on migrated tables under specific workloads.
