It's more like rds but it has far better developer experience than rds with dashboards and better migration. Their unique offering is their metal offering which uses local SSD for superior performance https://planetscale.com/metal https://planetscale.com/metal
- anthonyronning 1y agoTheir dashboards and metrics are really good. Plus the performance is great even on their non-metal offering too. I hope to one day be able to justify the upgrade to it. Here's their announcement blog post with a bit more info, like their benchmarks: https://planetscale.com/blog/planetscale-for-postgres https://planetscale.com/blog/planetscale-for-postgres
- kvirani 1y agoPossibly silly question, and not specific to this DB offering, but why is it a good decision to connect to your DB over the Internet vs keeping it in the same data center as your db clients, given the network-latency based performance hit I believe it causes?
- kedihacker 1y agoThey usually deployed to the same region like any other database not colocated with the clients. With vpc peering there should be no difference.
- gnaman 1y agoHow is the pricing like? Unfortunately I can't go past 1500GB for storage on their pricing calculator. We have tons of data and I don't feel like scheduling a sales call just to estimate cost
