Love love love planetscale.
When I found it (you can thank Theo), shocked this isn't what AWS' serverless DB offering already was.
I agree with what the author mentioned in another comment, not dropping performance for non-serverless use cases is a decided win. I deeply appreciate the work being done to enable serverless applications, so thank you for the work and thank you for sharing your findings OP.
- mattrobenolt 4y agoMuch love. <3
- thatwasunusual 4y agoI've barely heard about PlanetScale, but from the looks of it, it looks interesting. However, is it compatible with "normal" MySQL, meaning that I just can change my connection information from `currentMySQLhost` to `planetscaleMySQLhost`, and it just works (after creating the database, tables etc., of course)?
- mattrobenolt 4y agoYup! There are a few caveats, but for the most part it'd be compatible. https://planetscale.com/docs/reference/mysql-compatibility https://planetscale.com/docs/reference/mysql-compatibility
- thatwasunusual 4y agoThat is pretty great, especially with such a generous free plan for testing. However, no support for FOREIGN KEYs is a bit of a bummer. However, they explain it very well.[0] Thanks for the reply! Will definitely give PlanetScale a try over the weekend!
