MySQL-compatible database built on Vitess, offering non-blocking schema changes, horizontal scaling, and branch-based workflows for safe migrations.
We use PlanetScale for production-grade relational workloads that need MySQL semantics, strong reliability, and developer-friendly branching.
Licensing notes: Managed MySQL (Vitess). Data export and branching facilitate migration when needed.
How We Use It
- Production relational workloads on MySQL
- Zero-downtime schema changes and branching
- Horizontally scalable multi-tenant apps
Databases & Storage
Why this matters: A reliable data layer is the backbone of performance, data integrity, and scale—without heavy ops overhead. Reliable data layers underpin fast, scalable web apps. We select managed, developer-friendly databases and storage that pair well with serverless/edge architectures, reduce ops overhead, and provide clear scaling paths. Preferred defaults: PlanetScale for MySQL workloads; Turso for edge-first SQLite; Upstash for Redis/queues; Vercel Blob for simple storage.
