I was a big of PlanetScale and I don’t dislike them now but I also don’t use them any more. Part of my issues were due to the limitations (1 db per cluster) but I also was frustrated with things like moving from “pay $30/mo + usage, we will handle auto-scaling” to “well $30/mo is for low traffic websites, pay us based on cluster size, no more auto-scaling”. Additionally they introduced the concept of DB sleeping, something they touted at a feature (no sleeping for branches). I guess I understand, they want to save some costs but they advertised no sleeping then changed the policy. Almost more annoyingly, you must go to the console (or maybe the API) to wake your DB, there is no auto-waking. And waking up the DB takes a good minute or two+. I ended up switching to Neon, mostly because I could run multiple DBs on the same cluster which is important for my use case. Neon raised their prices and also changed how they charge after I switched which is annoying but still cheaper than PlanetScale. Also their DBs wake in <1s in every test I’ve done. Again, I don’t hate PlanetScale, it just started to change into something that didn’t work as well for me, I wish them the best of luck.
