We've just made PlanetScale even faster. Now your database can run on NVMe drives, which delivers essentially limitless IOPs. This means lower latency, higher performance and lower cost.

Good morning Product Hunt. PlanetScale Boost is now in public beta! It allows you to speed up a slow query with just a click and a tiny code change. Once you boost a query, it gets cached in memory + auto updated as the underlying data changes. Is it just a cache? No. Is it just a materialized view? No. PlanetScale Boost is a new caching architecture that is more performant than a cache and...

I've been watching Aaron build this course over the past several months. The level of detail and care he's put into this is incredible. It's a huge resource for any developers working on getting better with databases. Most database courses are suited more for DBA's and infrastructure engineers. This one is focused on what you need to do to build and ship your product. Also it's free!

Incident is legit. We've been using it for months, makes responding to incidents much easier. chat ops/slack ops is the way when needing to coordinate/handle something stressful.

Chatops FTW. Hubot legacy lives on

Hi all, We just shipped Connect. It helps you easily get your PlanetScale data synced with warehouses like BigQuery, Snowflake, and Redshift to optimize it for analytical queries. With it, you can setup a sync schedule using Airbyte, pick which tables and even enable incremental sync. To give it a try, visit your org settings page. It's now available under "Beta features".

Morning friends, we just shipped a major upgrade to PlanetScale. You can now add regions all over the globe, bringing a read-only copy of your data close to your users. This makes it possible to deploy your application to multiple regions. No more issues with read latency going across the globe. Your database is now near by.

Hi all, We just shipped PlanetScale Revert! We've all experienced an outage due to a database change. Rewind allows you to quickly revert back your schema change without any data loss. Dropped a column full of data? Revert, and it's back. Dropped a table? Revert it. Rewind even keeps tracks of any writes done since your schema change, protecting you from data loss.

Best sql gui in the game!

Hi all, We first shared the PlanetScale Beta back in May of this year. We've been real busy shipping since then. We've added a ton of new features and today are releasing it out of beta. With PlanetScale you can start building on top of an enterprise grade database without being a database expert. It's built on the open source Vitess engine that is powering companies like YouTube, Slack, and...

Hi friends! 👋 We just opened up the PlanetScale beta. It's the new database for developers. Fully integrated into the developer workflow you now have the ability to: - Build with live database branches. - Push non-blocking schema changes. - Work in a fully powered CLI. Built on the Vitess engine that powers companies like GitHub, Slack, and YouTube you'll never ever worry about rebalancing,...

Very impressive!
