Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for speed, reliability, and a developer-friendly branching workflow that makes schema changes feel more like Git. One user calls branching the best they have used, though they note CI setup can require extra CLI scripting. Founders echo that view: the makers of Context.dev say it is easy to set up, while the makers of Octolens highlight branching and zero-downtime schema changes. The main criticism is pricing, especially after the free tier was removed and costs felt unclear to one user.
