Connect any MySQL client to PlanetScale using Connection Strings

PlanetScale users can now generate connection strings to connect their databases using popular frameworks and languages, enabling secure connections to other serverless computing platforms like AWS Lambda or Vercel. Connection strings are built with security as a priority, storing hashes and metadata about database passwords instead of plain text. This feature also includes native MySQL authentication support and GitHub Secret Scanning out of the box to prevent leaked secrets. With this update, PlanetScale can handle tens of thousands of simultaneous database connections, scaling with serverless applications.
