PlanetScale offers a serverless database service that is compatible with MySQL, focusing on scalability, performance, and reliability while enhancing the developer experience. Its product allows developers to manage large amounts of data efficiently, particularly for globally distributed applications. Key features include horizontal sharding, which divides a database into smaller parts for better management, and non-blocking schema changes that enable updates without downtime. Additionally, PlanetScale provides built-in connection pooling and edge infrastructure to overcome MySQL connection limits, as well as Data Branches, which create isolated copies of databases in the cloud for testing purposes. Unlike many competitors, PlanetScale simplifies complex database management tasks, allowing developers to focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure. The company's goal is to empower developers by providing a seamless and efficient database management experience.
