About PlanetScale

PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible serverless database platform built on Vitess, the same sharding layer YouTube uses at scale. It focuses on branching, non-blocking schema changes, and horizontal scale.

Common PlanetScale issues

  • Deploy request stuck

    Schema changes flow through deploy requests. Long-running migrations can block the queue until an admin reviews and merges.

  • Foreign-key error on sharded keyspace

    Sharded keyspaces still restrict cross-shard FKs. Move the reference to the same keyspace or emulate the constraint at the app layer.

  • Connection limit exceeded

    The pooler enforces plan-based concurrent connection caps. Serverless workloads should share a client and use short transactions.

Background

PlanetScale was founded in 2018 by Jitendra Vaidya and Sugu Sougoumarane — the creators of Vitess at YouTube — to bring Vitess's operational patterns to a wider developer audience. It removed its free tier in 2024, cementing a paid-only positioning for production MySQL workloads.

Frequently asked

Is PlanetScale MySQL?
Yes — PlanetScale is MySQL-compatible and runs on Vitess for sharding, connection pooling and online schema changes.
Does PlanetScale support foreign keys?
PlanetScale historically restricted foreign keys (Vitess sharding constraints). Recent releases support them on unsharded keyspaces; sharded keyspaces still have restrictions.
