About PlanetScale
PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible serverless database platform built on Vitess, the open-source database technology created at YouTube to scale MySQL for massive workloads. The platform provides database branching similar to Git branches, enabling developers to test schema changes in isolated environments before merging to production.
Non-blocking schema changes are a core feature, allowing teams to alter production database schemas without locking tables or causing downtime. The platform handles sharding, replication, and horizontal scaling automatically.
PlanetScale serves development teams who need a MySQL-compatible database with modern developer workflow features. The platform has evolved its pricing model over time and focuses on providing enterprise-grade database infrastructure with a developer-friendly experience.
