Planetscale... is an interesting company. They have ended their free tier and I am not sure where, but someone pointed out that they are essentially just being a b2b company now in some sense (and they lost quite a bit reputation from indie hackers)
Now after that, they released their nvme drive innovation which I admit I am a little ignorant of.
Now one of the reasons that I hated planetscale was that it was exclusively mysql, Postgresql is good tbh. But can it run postgres extensions?
And also regarding convex using them. Isn't convex itself a database? / a reactive database. I didn't knew that underneath convex used some other database like postgres though I guess Correct me if I am wrong but from my last recall, they can also use sqlite etc. too.
Another point I'd like to raise is that alloydb is the cheapest in their benchmark except their own product.
And I wonder if there is some part of the results that they have omitted to be shown as the better product & I'd like to see third party results too tbh.
I'd also love to see it being open source tbh. Neon/Supabase is open source fwiw.
The closest open source I could see of planetscale is of https://github.com/planetscale/migration-scripts https://github.com/planetscale/migration-scripts where its a shell script to migrate from postgres to planetscale and at the time of writing, a recent commit just 36 minutes ago was launched but I guess I'd like to genuinely tweak and self host what makes their postgres better IDK
