The database
for DevOps

100% online schema changes deployed automatically from your database branch. Never before has a database been a force multiplier in your software development lifecycle.

Limitless growth

Scales like no other

PlanetScale is now the most scalable MySQL platform. With horizontal sharding and unlimited connections, you can harness the power of Vitess without hiring a team of engineers.

The last thing we wanted to pay for was an engineering team to host our own database, especially when we were trying to get a product in the market. You don’t need to hire engineers to manage databases if you can pay somebody else to do it.
