Pulling back the curtain: the new database overview page

This post introduces a new database overview page in the PlanetScale dashboard that visualizes the underlying infrastructure of a database. It details the display of load balancers, primary databases, replicas, read-only regions, and sharded database components (keyspaces and shards). For each component, it outlines the metrics that are now visible, such as connections, latency, QPS, reads/writes per second, IOPs, CPU, and memory. It also highlights the display of replication lag for replicas and the ability to drill down into individual shard details. This enhances the observability of the PlanetScale platform's architecture.
