What

Follow-up to #4539. The driver-adapter work is inert until a client flips to the pg driver adapter, but the moment one does, our database observability degrades: the OTel metrics pipeline reads pool stats from Prisma's $metrics, which is owned by the Rust engine's quaint pool. Under the adapter, pg.Pool owns the pool, so those gauges read zero. The pipeline also only ever scraped a single client (the control-plane writer singleton).

This PR makes database metrics driver-agnostic and per-client:

  • Every configured client registers a metrics source: control-plane writer/replica, run-ops writer/replica, legacy writer/replica. Previously only the control-plane writer singleton was scraped.
  • Each OTel instrument is observed per client with db_client and db_driver (quaint | pg-adapter) attributes. db_client uses our canonical datasource-role labels (control-plane-writer, control-plane-replica, run-ops-writer, run-ops-replica, legacy-run-ops-writer, legacy-run-ops-replica) — the same strings used for the db.datasource span attribute, so a metric and a trace point at the same pool.
  • Pool figures come from the authoritative source per driver:
    • pg-adapter: pg.Pool (totalCount/idleCount/waitingCount, plus cumulative opened/closed from connect/remove events).
    • quaint: the Rust engine's $metrics pool gauges/counters, exactly as before.
  • Query counters and duration histograms still come from $metrics for both drivers (the Rust engine executes queries in both cases).
  • New db.pool.connections.waiting gauge (pg.Pool exposes this; quaint reports 0).
  • Stops exporting Prisma metrics from the Prometheus /metrics route. Pool observability now lives entirely in the OTel pipeline, per driver, per client.

Why

So we can flip any client (including the control-plane writer, the primary desync-fix target) to the driver adapter without losing pool visibility. Existing dashboards keyed on the same metric names keep working; they gain a per-client dimension.

Testing

Unit (apps/webapp/app/utils/databaseMetrics.server.test.ts): the pure normalizer — quaint reads pool from $metrics; adapter reads pool from pg.Pool and keeps engine query metrics; busy never goes negative; graceful zeroing when $metrics is unavailable (adapter still reports live pool figures).

Live smoke test against a prod-shaped local stack: three physically-distinct Postgres DBs (control-plane, run-ops, legacy) behind dual PgBouncers, split mode on, with a mix of adapter and quaint clients. Reading the actual emitted OTel metrics, every pool shows up as its own series:

db.pool.connections.total{db_client="control-plane-writer",  db_driver="pg-adapter"} = 1
db.pool.connections.total{db_client="control-plane-replica", db_driver="quaint"}     = 1
db.pool.connections.total{db_client="run-ops-writer",        db_driver="pg-adapter"} = 1
db.pool.connections.total{db_client="run-ops-replica",       db_driver="quaint"}     = 1
db.pool.connections.total{db_client="legacy-run-ops-writer", db_driver="quaint"}     = 1
db.pool.connections.total{db_client="legacy-run-ops-replica",db_driver="quaint"}     = 1
db.client.queries.total{db_client="control-plane-writer",db_driver="pg-adapter"} = incrementing
db.client.queries.duration.count{db_client="control-plane-writer",db_driver="pg-adapter"} = incrementing

Confirms: metrics are attributed per pool with the correct driver; adapter pools' figures come from pg.Pool; and query counters/duration histograms keep incrementing under the pg adapter. Also verified /metrics (Prometheus) now returns zero prisma_* series while still serving the app's own metrics.

pnpm run typecheck --filter webapp passes.

Notes

  • /metrics (Prometheus) no longer includes prisma_* series. Anything scraping that endpoint for Prisma metrics should read the equivalent db.* metrics from the OTel exporter instead.
  • PgBouncer + ?schema= gotcha (separate from this PR, worth flagging for rollout): since feat(webapp,database): opt-in per-client Prisma driver adapters #4539 parses ?schema= from the DSN and passes { schema } to the adapter, node-postgres sends search_path as a startup parameter. A transaction-mode PgBouncer rejects that with FATAL: unsupported startup parameter: search_path. Our prod control-plane DSNs use the default public schema with no ?schema= param, so this is latent, but any client we flip to the adapter must not carry ?schema= in its DSN (or the pooler needs ignore_startup_parameters = search_path).

…r adapter

Report Prisma pool and query metrics for every configured client (control-plane
writer/replica, run-ops writer/replica, legacy writer/replica) instead of only
the control-plane writer, tagged with db_client and db_driver attributes.

Pool figures come from the authoritative source per driver: pg.Pool
(totalCount/idleCount/waitingCount + connect/remove counters) for driver-adapter
clients, and the Rust engine metrics for quaint clients. Query counters and
duration histograms come from prisma metrics for both. Adds a
db.pool.connections.waiting gauge.

Stops exporting Prisma metrics from the Prometheus /metrics route; pool
observability now lives entirely in the OTel pipeline.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared database metric registration and normalization. Standard Prisma and driver-adapter clients register pool, connection, query, and histogram sources. The tracer collects metrics for every registered client and records client, driver, pool, and waiting-connection observations. The metrics route now serves metricsRegister without separate Prisma metrics collection. Tests cover normalization and fallback behavior.

Label each pool with its full datasource role (control-plane-writer,
control-plane-replica, run-ops-writer, run-ops-replica, legacy-run-ops-writer,
legacy-run-ops-replica) instead of the generic writer/reader, matching the
db.datasource span attribute so metrics and traces correlate.

Back the metrics-source registry with singleton() keyed by clientType, matching
the app's other process-wide registries and deduping so a re-evaluated module or
a repeated label registers once. Document the removal of prisma_* from the
Prometheus /metrics endpoint in the server-changes note.

This comment was marked as resolved.

A failed $metrics.json() previously zero-filled every engine-derived value, so
the batch observer reported spurious zeros — including for cumulative counters
(db.client.queries.total, db.datasource.queries.total,
db.pool.connections.opened/closed.total), which reads as a counter reset and
corrupts rate math. Restore the old fail-quiet behavior per client: the
collector now signals engineMetricsAvailable and leaves engine-derived fields
(counters/gauges/histograms, and quaint pool figures) undefined on failure, and
the tracer skips those instruments for that client. Adapter clients still emit
live pg.Pool figures because those don't depend on $metrics.

## Summary
4 new features, 24 improvements, 10 bug fixes.

## Highlights

- Allow `trigger deploy` to authenticate with an environment API key
from `TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN`.
([#4561](#4561))

## Improvements
- Chat in the browser now reconnects when the connection drops mid-turn,
instead of leaving the reply stuck as if it were still generating.
Reports can be fetched as structured data with the `json` format, and
the shortest report period is now one minute (`1m`, `30m`, `1h`, `7d`).
The `mint-token` command's help is clearer too: a token minted without
`--cap` is read-only, and `--ttl` shows the correct maximum lifetime of
7 days.
([#4418](#4418))
- The dev environment onboarding now tracks real progress. After you run
`init`, the setup checklist marks your project as initialized, and it
updates live as your dev server connects and your tasks register. The
blank state also adds a "Copy AI agent prompt" button that copies a
ready-to-paste setup prompt (pre-filled with your project reference) for
Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding agent.
([#4563](#4563))
  
The `init` scaffold now imports from `@trigger.dev/sdk` instead of the
deprecated `@trigger.dev/sdk/v3` subpath.
- Deployed images now ship dependencies and bundled task code as
separate layers. Repeat deploys with unchanged dependencies typically
push and pull far less data, making deploys and worker image pulls
faster.
([#4551](#4551))
- The current-worker API now reports each task's queue, so you can see
which tasks write to a given queue.
([#4525](#4525))
- Watch-mode chat streams now survive quiet windows and page reloads,
and a reply cut off by a lost connection shows an error instead of
appearing finished. Aborting a resumed subscription only closes your
local stream — call `stopGeneration(chatId)` or pass `stopOnAbort: true`
to stop the run. Also fixed a race where quickly restarting a stream
could break stop and reconnect, and stopping a chat now hands it back to
your other tabs instead of leaving them read-only.
([#4516](#4516))

## Server changes

These changes affect the self-hosted Docker image and Trigger.dev Cloud:

- The dashboard agent now has a monthly message allowance and plan-based
limits on watches. Queries stay read-only with clearer errors when busy,
and messages with unusual characters no longer fail to send.
([#4516](#4516))
- Meet the dashboard agent: a chat in every environment that answers
questions about your runs, queues, errors and health with real data and
links, replacing Ask AI everywhere it used to appear. Investigate a
failed run, an error, a backed-up queue or a run that hasn't started to
get a worked-through answer — what happened, why, and how to fix it,
with every claim linked to the runs, errors and deploys behind it. It
reads your data read-only, works on preview and dev branches with that
branch's own data, and reads the same everywhere — dashboard, terminal,
editor. A very long chat keeps working: the agent summarises the earlier
part and carries on.
  
**Watch…** on a run, queue, error or the health report tells you when
things change: a run finishes, a queue clears or grows past a number you
pick, an error comes back, an environment recovers. The answer arrives
in the chat and, if you want, by email, Slack or webhook — and the agent
can look into bad news on its own. A watch reaches you on any browser
you sign in from, without opening the chat first.
  
A sample of conversations is scored automatically so the agent keeps
getting better; only the score and a one-line summary are kept, never
your messages, data or code, and we can switch it off for your
organization on request. Ask the agent instead of the Docs buttons in
page headers — they stay there when the agent isn't available to you.
Separately, a queue's wait times, peak depth, throughput and throttling
can now be read from the API.
([#4418](#4418))
- Add backend support for delaying cron schedules within a specified
window with a minimum of 60 seconds.
([#4566](#4566))
- Reduced recurring background database load from the billing-limit
recovery check, so paused environments are reconciled with less
overhead.
([#4590](#4590))
- Validating a schedule when deploying or updating a schedule now does
less work on projects with many preview branches, so those operations
stay fast as branches accumulate.
([#4598](#4598))
- Project pages now load faster for projects with a large number of
preview branches, by no longer loading archived branch environments that
aren't shown.
([#4595](#4595))
- Database queries that filter on a list of values now reuse cached
query plans more consistently, instead of forcing the database to
re-plan whenever the list length changes.
([#4480](#4480))
- Routine cleanup of old dashboard agent data now runs on its own
schedule.
([#4599](#4599))
- Database connection metrics are now reported for every configured
database connection instead of only the primary one, and stay accurate
regardless of connection type.
([#4541](#4541))
- Deployment-related API endpoints now draw from their own generous rate
limit budget, configurable via the `DEPLOYMENT_RATE_LIMIT_*` environment
variables, so runtime API traffic no longer competes with deployments
for the same per-environment budget.
([#4565](#4565))
- Deleting or editing a secret environment variable is now fast and no
longer slows down as a project accumulates variables.
([#4555](#4555))
- Speed up personal access token lookups by indexing them on their owner
([#4588](#4588))
- Switching project or organization in the sidebar now keeps you on the
same page instead of sending you back to Tasks. Pages for a specific
run, deploy or other single item open the matching list instead.
([#4585](#4585))
- Reduced database load when loading the dashboard by removing an unused
organization member count that was being calculated on every page
navigation.
([#4587](#4587))
- The environment variables page now loads a page at a time, keeping it
fast for projects with a large number of variables. Search matches
variable names across every page.
([#4597](#4597))
- Groundwork for an alternative database connection driver, gated behind
configuration and disabled by default, so there is no change to default
behavior.
([#4539](#4539))
- Deleting an alert channel is now fast and no longer slows down as a
project builds up alert history.
([#4554](#4554))
- Reduced internal overhead on the API under high load.
([#4532](#4532))
- Out-of-date upgrade prompts no longer appear in the dashboard: the
"V4" badges and the notices saying preview branches and the queues table
need V4 have been removed. The side menu still warns you when a project
is on v3, with updated wording and a link to the v4 upgrade guide.
([#4589](#4589))
- Make background worker registration cheaper for projects with many
scheduled tasks by scoping declarative schedule reconciliation to the
current environment and dropping redundant schedule lookups.
([#4577](#4577))
- Speed up setting and importing environment variables for projects with
many variables.
([#4579](#4579))
- Loading the deployments list is now faster, especially when filtering
by deployment status on projects with many deployments.
([#4591](#4591))
- Fixed the billing limits page timing out for organizations with many
preview branches, especially while a spend limit was being enforced. The
page now loads quickly, so you can raise or resolve your limit without
delay. ([#4594](#4594))
- Fix the Concurrency page showing the plan's default concurrency for
the dev environment instead of the environment's actual limit.
([#4596](#4596))
- Creating an organization sometimes left you back on the creation form
even though the organization had already been created, so clicking
Create again made a duplicate. Creating an organization now completes
and takes you to your new organization.
([#4530](#4530))
- Ensure creating a project completes instead of returning to its
creation form after a navigation error.
([#4584](#4584))
- Renaming a project now keeps you on the project settings page and
tells you what happened, instead of silently moving you to the tasks
page or clearing the form with no explanation.
([#4601](#4601))
- Fixed support threads showing no account details for some customers,
so the team can see your plan, organizations and projects when you get
in touch.
([#4575](#4575))
- In the light theme, the Format, Clear and Copy buttons on the query
editor no longer blend into the query text behind them.
([#4592](#4592))
- The health report now says start latency is "unknown" when there is no
data for it, instead of showing a healthy-looking 0ms
([#4544](#4544))
- Realtime streams written inside a chat session run now use the same
backend as the session itself, and runs are no longer created against a
backend that cannot serve them.
([#4564](#4564))
- The grouped "watch updates" notification now shows the total number of
results waiting, instead of only the most recent batch's count.
