Has anyone who has used PlanetScale in production comment about their experience? I was evaluating a few options a couple of weeks ago but ended up going with just RDS due to lack of feedback for PlanetScale here on HN.
My usage is way under some of my sibling comments but it's a been a joy to use and $360/yr to not have to worry about scaling my DB, backups, schema migrations, and now caching is a steal for me. Could I run my DB on a $5/mo DO box (or similar)? Probably, though I'd probably want at least the $10/$15 size box for when my software gets a little more load. Even if I knew for sure I could run on the $5 box I'd still rather pay $30/mo to never worry about my DB and the schema migration tool is awesome.
For a sense of scale, we have ~150gb of data running around 5 trillion row reads + 500 million row writes per month
Just wonder: How are the DB queries from your php implementation to the Planetscale DBs affected by network latency (hops and length between servers) as well as bandwidth (query results returned by PlanetScale DBs)?
Thanks! :-)
This caching does look cool, perhaps I'll revisit PlanetScale later on my own time.
