Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for developer workflow and day-to-day reliability, especially its database branching, schema-change flow, and straightforward setup. One user says the branching model feels like Git for databases, though getting it working smoothly in CI can require extra CLI scripting. Founders of Context.dev and Octolens echo the ease of setup and zero-downtime schema changes, while others mention strong performance and Cloudflare integration. The main clear complaint is pricing, especially after the free tier was removed.
