Network attached storage is convenient for building managed databases, but every disk operation has to travel over the network, leading to a slower experience. We built PlanetScale Metal to bring dramatically lower latency without artificial IOPS limits.

How do we know your backups actually work? We test every single one. Each backup runs through the same restore process you'd use so there aren't any surprises in case a time comes when you actually need to use it. Max Englander, PlanetScale SWE, breaks it down at SCALE 23x:

this pgstrict extension from @PlanetScale is so cool. so useful for ai write commands

Last week, we had a brief service disruption caused by background workers consuming all available connections on our replica bouncer. I wrote about what caused it and how @PlanetScale has the perfect solution right out of the box. medium.com/engineering-la…

The @planetscale team is absolutely cracked 🐐 Today we needed to restore a 270GB backup that was 12 hours past our retention window. I was 99.999% sure we were S.O.L. Posted in Slack → their infra team jumped in right away. Some insane DB sorcery later…the backup was restored in under an hour. Mind you, this was a classic case of user error (me not defining a longer retention period). And they still saved it. If this is not your sign to go with PlanetScale for your primary DB provider, I don't know what is 👏
