TAOBench: Running social media workloads on PlanetScale

The PlanetScale team has published a benchmarking exercise using the TAOBench workload, which is designed to simulate social media networks and their scalability challenges. The results show that PlanetScale's multi-tenant serverless database offering can sustainably scale to one million queries per second under extreme resource pressure, with sustained stability even when approaching 100% CPU utilization. The benchmark highlights the importance of finding a balance between resource efficiency and graceful failure handling in distributed database systems, and demonstrates PlanetScale's capabilities in managing complex database workloads.
