## AI overview

Connections is a new PlanetScale CLI feature for Postgres and Vitess databases. It provides a live, refreshable view of active sessions, highlights blocked queries and waiting states, shows blocker trees, maintains recent history, and lets developers capture the observed session data for later handoff.

## Source excerpt

Connections lets you monitor and manage all active connections to Postgres and Vitess databases. See active sessions, identify locking patterns, and keep debugging even when normal application connections are exhausted.
