ed sheeran, your silence on the death of Ruby on rails is deafening

Yes!

When a nerd tells me they don't use agents "because I can write better code than any agent", I usually go "huh, sure buddy, you do you". When they tell they don't use agents for monitoring, I just laugh in their face. Seriously. You can't monitor a production deploy better than an agent can. I dunno about AGI but this specific job is something that an LLM can already do better than every single human in the world. For me, as a systems engineer, having agents monitor my infra changes has been (no joke) more impactful in my day-to-day work than having agents write my code. I started doing this many months ago by asking the agent to monitor explicitly after I triggered a deploy; soon after I moved to using a set of my own Skills. Now our Review Agents team has fully automated this workflow with delightful UX and obviously I'm not going back. It's hard to overstate how powerful this is. All it takes, for me, in production: - The Datadog MCP - The PlanetScale MCP (for all our databases) - Our custom MCP for deploys and internal tooling That's it. Some carefully designed gradual deploy pipelines, and the agent just takes care of everything from there. You can't really deploy SEVs to production anymore. Doing infra like this is pure joy. And the safety is just a tiny part of it. The Rollout agent also does the actually hard part of my job, which is _performance_. When the changes you're deploying are a performance optimization, the agent prepares a monitoring plan that ensures the optimization is correct AND effective. I rarely prompt benchmarks for my optimizations anymore. Just fucking go to prod and the agent is gonna give me the best possible benchmark. If you work on systems or infra for a living, you should be setting up your production environments so you can use Rollouts. Not doing so is actually reckless.

Come say hi to us at the @PlanetScale booth today if you're at @Rails World! #railsworld #database #planetscale

Rails is dead.

I'm going to Austin tomorrow for @railsworld!! Going to be posted up at the planetscale booth all day both days. Come say hi! @dhh you too. don't be a stranger

In 2001, we really thought this was what the future of web design would look like.

Current state of the planetscale Rails app CI time. Running on @depotdev. posted for @rbranson

It’s faster Postgres search.

man i love the present i can confidently leave mid database issue and get updates on the go life is just better now

Fixed an N1 today. 2,100ms -> 110ms.

First day @PlanetScale today, super excited to get to work on the Postgres core team.

Balls guy sighting.

Congratulations to the PlanetScale team on this massive ship! This is a seismic shift in scalability for the Postgres ecosystem. I've been playing with Neki and every other approach to scaling Postgres that came before it feels like a toy in comparison.

Neki is now available.

Let’s ratio him again

I love getting these emails. Migrating to @PlanetScale makes things so safe and easy. (Wrote about it last month) htmlcsstoimage.com/blog/plan…
