PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible serverless database platform. It is based on Vitess, open source that YouTube built to scale MySQL horizontally, and provides a workflow in which you create database branches like in Git to change the schema and then merge them through deploy requests. Its key features are non-blocking schema changes and automatic scaling, and you can connect with existing MySQL drivers without changing application code.
