PlanetScale
Also known as: PlanetScale / プラネットスケール
A MySQL-compatible serverless database service based on Vitess. Key features include Git-like database branching for safe migrations, schema revert, and horizontal sharding for large-scale deployments.
Overview
PlanetScale delivers Vitess horizontal scaling as a SaaS. The workflow of branching production, validating schema changes, and merging significantly reduces migration risk.
Adoption Trends
PlanetScale is popular in Next.js and Hono stacks combined with Prisma or Drizzle ORM. After the removal of the Hobby tier, small projects increasingly prefer Neon or Supabase.
