Planetscale

planetscale.com/

PlanetScale is a managed cloud database provider hosting Vitess-based sharded MySQL, a sharded Postgres variant called Neki, and standard Postgres, aimed at teams needing horizontal scale without managing their own database infrastructure. Its homepage headline claims it's "the world's fastest and most scalable cloud database," backed by specific figures: NVMe-based "unlimited IOPS," a 99.999% SLA for multi-region deployments, and a claim that 85% of workloads migrated to its Metal tier come in cheaper than RDS or Aurora. Distinctively, it illustrates its sharding architecture with ASCII-style diagrams showing VTGate routing traffic across 2 to 6 shards, and cites named customer deployments from Cash App, Slack, GitHub, and HubSpot rather than generic case-study blurbs.
