Planetscale

Oracle has been slow to respond to this changing and evolving world of AI and generally, modern MySQL is being carried forward by PlanetScale,” PlanetScale CEO and President Sam Lambert told me when I asked him why the company decided to go this route.

PlanetScale’s pioneering multi-cloud database-as-a-service, PlanetScale Cloud Database, built on the same platform, allows businesses to scale high-volume databases distributed over multiple regions and multiple cloud providers.

PlanetScale is a relational database platform aimed at helping companies horizontally scale data in the cloud.

PlanetScale is based on the battle-hardened Vitess which now serves billions of queries in production at YouTube, Slack, Square, Pinterest, Hubspot, and others.
