PlanetScale powers Tier 0 databases at companies like Slack, block, Etsy, intercom, Cursor, MyFitnessPal, and Barstool Sports. Our Offerings Vitess allows MySQL databases to scale horizontally through explicit sharding — enabling a shared nothing architecture distributing data across thousands of nodes, all routed through a single database connection. PlanetScale Postgres starts at $5 per month and gives you a fully managed PostgreSQL cluster built for performance and reliability, offering first-class tooling without sacrificing developer experience. Available in AWS and GCP. High availability clusters deliver automatic failover across three availability zones. Neki is our next-generation Postgres sharding architecture inspired by everything we have learned building Vitess: a fresh design from first principles to bring massive scale and reliability to PostgreSQL workloads.
