    PlanetScale is the most scalable and reliable OLTP database. PlanetScale is built on Vitess, which enables you to scale your database horizontally through sharding - distributing your data and load across thousands of nodes, all presenting as a single database.

    We do not skimp on developer experience. We support online schema changes with our database branching workflow, in-app sharding, no-downtime database migrations, advanced query insights and anomaly detection, MySQL vectors, and more. CLI and API available to support your preferred workflows.

    Vitess was developed at YouTube by the founders of PlanetScale to scale their main MySQL database to petabytes of data on 70,000 nodes across 20 data centers. Now a CNCF-graduated open source project, Vitess powers the databases of some of the webs largest properties: Slack, HubSpot, Blizzard, Etsy, GitHub, Block, and more.

    PlanetScale reduces time-to-market for new applications and eliminates the cost and effort of managing database infrastructure. Your business needs predictability with no downtime.

    Built-in connection pooling, query replication and Vitess under-the-hood mean you can reliably scale to thousands of queries per second if needed, all without leaving the cloud dashboard.

    Good product that is now focusing on bigger customers

    Reviewed on May 16, 2024
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It is probably the best MySQL as a service platform in existance. Modern, blazing fast, easy to use from any languages, easy to scale and implement.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    They deprecated their free tier, which means the smallest plan is now 39$/month. That means when you want to build a small project that will or will not scale in time, you cannot use PlanetScale anymore.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    They help you get a MySQL database up and running in record time, accessible from all around the world, without any hassle. They can scale with your workload, they even have multiple branches for preview/production. Overall it's a very nice product.
