Summary

PlanetScale has launched a new product called PlanetScale Boost, which aims to make application queries up to 1,000 times faster with just a few clicks. Building responsive software often requires caching logic to hide SQL query latency, but PlanetScale Boost eliminates this need by making the chosen queries faster without additional logic or infrastructure. The product uses Insights to find slow query patterns and deploys infrastructure in about a minute that keeps the cache up-to-date in real-time. PlanetScale Boost is now available in a limited beta for a select group, with more information to be shared through engineering blog posts and a demo video. The goal of this product is to make caching code maintenance obsolete by making databases fast enough on their own.
