Automated PlanetScale Weekly Database Scorecard
Every Monday morning, WebRun opens PlanetScale, checks every database for its branch count, open deploy requests, schema changes awaiting review, and storage and row growth over the past week, emails the team a scorecard through Gmail, and logs the same numbers as a new row in Airtable.
How do I track PlanetScale database health and growth every week?
Every Monday, WebRun opens PlanetScale and checks each database's branch count, open deploy requests, and storage growth over the past week. It emails the engineering team a scorecard through Gmail and logs the same numbers to Airtable, so database health and growth are visible at a glance without anyone building the report by hand.
- The whole team sees database health in one email, every Monday
- Storage and row growth are tracked week over week without a manual export
- Stale deploy requests get called out before they block a release

Questions, answered
Does it merge or approve any deploy request?
No. WebRun only counts and reports open deploy requests. Reviewing schema changes and approving a deploy request always stays with your engineers.
Who receives the weekly scorecard email?
Whoever you add to the distribution list during setup. You control exactly who on the team sees it.
Can I see how storage has grown over time?
Yes. Every Monday adds a new row to the same Airtable base, so past weeks stay visible and the growth trend is easy to spot.
