PlanetScale Overview

What is PlanetScale?

PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible database platform that makes databases near infinitely scalable, easier, and safer to manage. Databases are complex and fragile, making them difficult to manage and easy to break. With cutting edge developer-first features like non-blocking schema changes, built-in horizontal sharding, and real-time analytics you can add power to your database layer without having to hire additional database expertise. Increase developer productivity with database branching, a Git-like feature that allows you to test and deploy schema changes to production with zero downtime. Get a database that enables you to monitor, debug, and even boost queries up to 1000x faster without leaving the product or investing in a separate set of tooling. You’ll never out-scale PlanetScale: Our solution is the only solution built on battle-tested Vitess, a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL used by GitHub, HubSpot, Slack and more. Deploy a free PlanetScale database today at planetscale.com.
