Gate the schema swap for manual confirmation
deploy requests
// what it does
With --disable-auto-apply, the deploy runs its backfill but pauses before the final schema swap until you run `deploy-request apply`. You control the exact cutover moment — deploy during the day, swap during the low-traffic window.
// shell
$ pscale deploy-request create mydb risky-change --disable-auto-apply$ pscale deploy-request apply mydb 12// gotcha
A gated deploy left un-applied holds resources and blocks the deploy queue; apply or cancel it the same day. Flip the gate later with deploy-request edit --enable-auto-apply / --disable-auto-apply.
