Planetscale does scale to zero, but has a ridiculous billing model.
- acjohnson55 4y agoWhat's the billing model / how is it ridiculous?
- pid-1 4y agoPer row read / write billing -> how do you estimate that?
- derekperkins 4y agoEither you have an existing db running and check the metrics, or you don't have a workload to move and you can just try it out from scratch. You can always migrate away if the billing model doesn't work for you. Alternatively, it's likely that Planetscale will eventually provide a provisioned billing model, similar to DynamoDB. Then you can choose between scalable usage based pricing or less flexible flat rate pricing. Either way, innovating different billing models for RDBMS is a win.
- manigandham 4y agoBoth CRDB and Planetscale "scale" to zero - but neither expose any concept of individual instances so I'm still not sure what difference it makes.
