PlanetScale is a database designed for developer workflows, built on top of the technology of hyperscalers, aiming to provide power and flexibility without compromising on data store power. The company behind PlanetScale has experience working with large web services, including YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, DigitalOcean, and GitHub, which led to the realization that traditional databases often require significant technical debt. PlanetScale's goal is to give developers a durable, stable, and scalable SQL database experience without managing a schema, making changes feel as easy as deploying code.
