PlanetScale
PlanetScale is likely the fastest managed Postgres and MySQL you can buy, at a price that undercuts the large clouds. Its Metal clusters run on local NVMe drives instead of network storage. Its MySQL is built on Vitess, which shards a database across many servers so it can outgrow one machine. And every database can be branched like code, so schema changes are tested and deployed like a pull request.

A quick example
Section titled “A quick example”A database, a branch for this stage, and a role to connect with:
const database = yield* Planetscale.PostgresDatabase("app-db", { region: { slug: "us-east" }, clusterSize: "PS_10", migrations: "./migrations",});
const branch = yield* Planetscale.PostgresBranch("app-branch", { database, isProduction: false });
const role = yield* Planetscale.PostgresRole("app-role", { database, branch, inheritedRoles: ["postgres"],});The role’s origin connects anything that speaks Postgres. On Cloudflare, give it to Hyperdrive:
const hyperdrive = yield* Cloudflare.Hyperdrive.Connection("app-hyperdrive", { origin: role.origin });Where to start
