PlanetScale overview

What is PlanetScale?

Planetscale is a MySQL database platform that allows users to migrate, launch, or manage their databases for optimized performance. It includes the ability to branch database schema-like code and help reduce the database staging time, allowing developers to improve productivity and work more efficiently.

Planetscale provides support for globally distributed applications with read-only regions, enabling businesses to expand their reach without any negative impact on their database's performance. It also offers zero downtime imports to ensure a streamlined database setup. Its built-in connection pooling and edge infrastructure help overcome MySQL connection limits and allow businesses to scale their database without any issues.

Planetscale also enables DevOps workflows, allowing developers to deploy schema changes without any locking or downtime and roll back problematic schema changes instantly, without any data loss. The data branches feature gives businesses an isolated copy of their database in the cloud, allowing them to branch their database like they branch their code.
