PlanetScale

“PlanetScale has the expertise to say yeah, the best practice would be this. They give experienced advice. I’m a developer that has to deal with the database because you have to store data somewhere. I’m not a database geek.”

“The PlanetScale team has been super responsive anytime we had questions or needed help. Having our Slack channel where I could reach out and someone would get back to me within a couple minutes has been super helpful. Not just during the sales and onboarding process, but all the way through.”

“This was one of the main drivers for us liking PlanetScale. I’m onboarding the technology platform, but also a team of experts that know way beyond what I do about databases. I haven’t looked at a server load graph for the database since we’ve onboarded.”

“There isn’t really one feature that stands out. For me, it’s undeniable performance. It boils down to two pillars: reliability and performance. It’s about having absolute peace of mind.”

“This kind of dedicated support and expertise, in my opinion, isn’t something you find easily elsewhere. It’s been invaluable for us.”

“The presence of your expertise and team really convinced us of your commitment to providing the best solution and for handling very extensive and large datasets. As a result, we made PlanetScale our new base of operations.”

“Migrate to PlanetScale. That’s my advice to teams trying to solve similar challenges to ours. I wish I had come across PlanetScale sooner. It’s better equipped to handle scale and complexity than other options on the market.”

“You can’t compare PlanetScale to other solutions. It’s like comparing a Fiat to a Lamborghini. Not merely for its powerful 'engine', but because it’s the whole package. Not just a great product but a great team, evaluation experience, UI, everything.”

““Running complex SQL queries involving countless calculations on 2 trillion tables would slow down our main database environment for extended periods. With PlanetScale, our operations have transformed, our database is performant, and our users are very happy .””

“We are very confident that we can trust our private data to PlanetScale.”

“Our data had to stay in France, so as soon as PlanetScale became available there, we knew it would work for us.”

“PlanetScale’s philosophy is that the database must stay up at all times, during all operations. We rely on this for our most important workflows.”

“With PlanetScale, we’ve definitely made mistakes that put an undue tax on our deployment. PlanetScale helped us figure out the issues, came to our aid, and recommended the perfect fix. That level of support can’t be beat.”

“I don’t want to run my own test installations. I don’t want to run my own databases. The entire value of our company is a database and we can run front-end servers and microservices, but when it comes to managing our data, that’s not something that we want to be doing ourselves. We want somebody else to do that, with a lot more expertise and a lot more systems in place and a lot more safety and security than we would be able to provide.”

“We’re confident that our PlanetScale deployment can safely handle more than twice the workload we’re currently experiencing.”

“We were on AWS Aurora… but we were not getting anywhere near the level of support we needed, especially for the premium we were paying. We were looking for a solution that could actually support us. We saw that with PlanetScale, we could essentially leverage their team of experts as our own DBAs when we needed them most.”

“When it comes down to it, PlanetScale is much cheaper than hiring DBAs, and that’s something we couldn’t ignore.”

“Support has been very helpful when it comes to giving advice and educating us on how to use indexes”

“Backups has actually been a lifesaver for us. We had a customer accidentally delete thousands of links from their workspace and while we currently don't have soft deletes, we were able to go back into PlanetScale and restore their links.”

“For us, the most utilized feature is definitely deploy requests because that basically allows us to iterate really quickly without having to worry about breaking production.”

“The performance and uptime with PlanetScale has honestly been sublime. We have never had to worry about that...It's been incredibly reliable from day 1 and we cannot recommend it more.”

“PlanetScale's Vitess offering was very appealing to use because of the scale that we anticipated for Dub... We currently manage 40k new links every month... We're expected to hit about 100 million clicks a month in the next 12 months.”

“Databases are hard. We would rather PlanetScale manage them. We wanted the support PlanetScale offers because they are the experts in the field. We’ve seen this come to fruition in our relationship.”

“We have very strict regulatory requirements that can feel painful to the average engineer, however PlanetScale was a strong partner in grinding through our asks, leaving us in a place where everyone was happy.”

“We knew how deeply the PlanetScale team understands database services, and they were literally the only team we trusted enough to consider leaving behind Aurora.”
