Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for developer workflow and ease of use, especially database branching and schema changes that feel closer to Git. One user says it is the best branching setup they have used, though CI can require extra scripting. Makers of Context.dev call setup very easy, while the makers of Octolens highlight branching workflows, zero-downtime schema changes, and reliability at scale. The main criticism is pricing, with one user saying costs were unexpectedly high after the free tier went away.
