This is wonderful. I've been developing with relational databases for 12 years and couldn't be more excited about this.

Scaling down to 0 opens up a world of opportunities when it comes to team development workflows. The idea of quick environments per pull request is within reach.

12+ years of massive scale production use for Vitess and 26+ years of hardening for MySQL and InnoDB. PlanetScale adds some (imho) great features on top of that, but it's standing on the shoulders of giants that have proven themselves over and over.

Quick environment per pull request is available with SQLite now :)
