I've been a PlanetScale user for many months now and overall I can say it's a good, performant database. During this time there was an incident that resulted in downtime (I think it was around an hour or so?). Otherwise it's been running smooth otherwise. I like some of the ideas they are pushing too. Since I'm a solo developer I can't make use of the team features but I do use branching for myself and it's a nice safety net. Keep in mind there is no foreign key support although they are working on it. I'm looking forward to that. Also, there is no GUI or DBMS - just a SQL console. Not sure if they plan to add that but I felt it's missing every now and then.

I don't love the recent changes of PlanetScale to remove their free tier. That said, their database branching workflow is absolutely the best I've used as a dev. I can easily spin up a branch for working on a new feature and make a merge request with schema changes just like I would git. The only gotcha here is that to make it work well in CI, you have to write a few scripts with their cli to avoid doing things manually.

Ridiculous to charge close to 100 USD for my two clusters of 1.5 mb. The excessive pricing was not clear to me when I registered.
