Summary

When the run-ops split is enabled, the legacy run-ops database client was always constructed as its own connection pool, even when it points at the same database as the primary (control-plane) client. On setups where those two DSNs resolve to the same physical database, this opened a second, redundant pool and doubled the number of connections used against that database. This change makes the legacy client reuse the primary client's pool whenever their DSNs point at the same database, and only open a separate pool when they genuinely differ.

Fix

A small sameDatabaseTarget comparison (host, port, database name, user) decides whether the legacy DSN points at the same database as the primary. When it does, the legacy handle reuses the primary client by reference, so no second pool is opened. When the DSNs diverge, the legacy client is built independently as before, so the split still works once the databases are actually separate.

Two smaller changes ride along:

  • An optional per-pool limit for the run-ops read replica, which connects unpooled and so draws raw backend connections; unset, it falls back to the existing default and behaviour is unchanged.
  • A startup warning about a missing legacy replica URL is now suppressed when the legacy client shares the primary pool, where it would be misleading.

Verification

Booted the webapp end-to-end in three modes and confirmed the pools opened as expected via the client's own startup logs and live backend connection counts: split off (single pool), split on with a shared database (legacy reuses the primary pool, no doubling), and split on with separate databases (legacy opens its own pool).

…atch

When the run-ops split is enabled, the legacy run-ops Prisma client was
always built as its own connection pool, even when it targeted the same
physical database as the primary (control-plane) client. Where those DSNs
resolve to the same database, that opened a second, redundant pool and
doubled the connections used against that database.

Reuse the primary client by reference when the legacy and primary DSNs
resolve to the same database (host, port, database name, user), and only
build a separate legacy pool when they genuinely differ.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Run-ops topology selection now compares effective legacy and control-plane database targets. When they match, legacy run-ops reuse the control-plane clients; otherwise, independent legacy clients are created. A separate environment setting controls the new run-ops replica connection limit. Tests cover URL comparison, aliasing, independent clients, PostgreSQL queries, and cleanup. Documentation records the shared-pool behavior.

## Summary
5 improvements, 5 bug fixes.

## Improvements
- Add experimental Node.js 24 and 26 task runtimes. Set `runtime` to
`experimental-node-24` or `experimental-node-26` in `trigger.config.ts`.
([#4085](#4085))
- Add `defaultRegion` to the project GET and list API responses; null
when unset.
([#4146](#4146))

## Server changes

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

- Transient internal sync failures are now retried quietly instead of
surfacing as errors.
([#4270](#4270))
- Optionally route ClickHouse read traffic to a read replica while
writes stay on the primary. Set `CLICKHOUSE_READER_URL` to move all
reads, or target the busiest paths with `RUNS_LIST_CLICKHOUSE_URL` (runs
list) and `EVENTS_READER_CLICKHOUSE_URL` (traces, spans, logs). All
optional; unset keeps current behavior.
([#4081](#4081))
- Remove the deprecated realtime stream write endpoint used by retired
v3 task clients.
([#4250](#4250))
- Fix batchTrigger requests that set a per-item idempotency key failing
with an error instead of creating and deduplicating the runs
([#4271](#4271))
- Speed up idempotency checks on `batchTrigger` calls that use
idempotency keys. Large batches against a task with a big run history no
longer degrade to multi-second lookups.
([#4255](#4255))
- The "Preview branches" usage on the Limits page now counts only
preview branches.
([#4283](#4283))
- Avoid opening a redundant database connection pool when the legacy and
primary databases are the same server, preventing connection usage from
doubling.
([#4253](#4253))
- Fix pages occasionally loading unstyled or failing to load during a
deploy. The dashboard now reloads automatically to recover.
([#4282](#4282))
