Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for its developer workflow, especially database branching and schema changes that fit naturally into code review and help teams move quickly. One user says the branching model is the best they have used, though it takes some CLI scripting to work smoothly in CI. Founders of Context.dev and Octolens echo that it is easy to set up and supports fast, zero-downtime changes. The main criticism is pricing, with one user upset by costs after the free tier ended.
