PlanetScale provides a serverless MySQL database built on Vitess, the same technology that scales YouTube's database. It offers non-blocking schema changes, database branching, and horizontal sharding. The platform eliminates downtime during migrations and provides connection-level caching for improved performance.
Deploy schema changes to production without locking tables or causing downtime using PlanetScale's deploy request workflow, which handles online DDL automatically.
Distribute read replicas across multiple regions to serve data with minimal latency for globally distributed applications.
Scale MySQL horizontally with Vitess-powered sharding that handles millions of queries per second without application-level changes.
import { connect } from "@planetscale/database";const conn = connect({ url: process.env.DATABASE_URL });export async function searchProducts(query: string, limit = 20) {const results = await conn.execute("SELECT id, name, price, category FROM products WHERE MATCH(name, description) AGAINST(? IN BOOLEAN MODE) LIMIT ?",[query, limit]);return results.rows.map((row) => ({id: row.id as string,name: row.name as string,price: row.price as number,category: row.category as string,}));}
Seamless integration, great documentation. Set up in under 10 minutes.
