About
PlanetScale is a cloud database platform founded in 2018 by the creators of Vitess, an open-source MySQL clustering system originally built at YouTube and now maintained by the CNCF. The company offers the world's fastest and most scalable managed databases for both Vitess/MySQL and PostgreSQL workloads, powered by NVMe-backed servers with unlimited IOPS. PlanetScale Metal, its flagship offering, consistently benchmarks as the fastest Postgres in the cloud and serves Tier 0 production databases for companies including Cursor (Anysphere), Cash App, Intercom, MyFitnessPal, and Convex. The platform features branch-based schema workflows, online schema changes, global edge routing, full observability, and enterprise compliance (SOC 2, PCI DSS Level 1, HIPAA).
