Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for developer workflow and reliability, especially its database branching and smooth schema changes. One user says branching is the best they have used, though it takes extra CLI scripting to fit cleanly into CI. Founders of Context.dev and Octolens echo that it is easy to set up and helps teams move quickly. The main criticism is pricing: one user found costs unclear and excessive after the free tier ended.
