Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for speed, reliability, and a standout branching workflow that makes schema changes feel closer to Git. One user calls that workflow the best they’ve used, though they note CI setup can require extra scripting. Founder feedback from the makers of Context.dev, Octolens, and OpenSEO echoes that, highlighting easy setup, zero-downtime schema changes, and strong Cloudflare integration. The main criticism is pricing, especially after the free tier ended and for very small deployments.
