The largest database to ever run on Aurora MySQL runs on PlanetScale, and the largest database to ever run on Aurora limitless also runs on PlanetScale.
What do you mean? Your comment reads like PlanetScale uses Aurora under the hood, you mean PlanetScale can handle bigger DB’s than Aurora?
He means that they moved from AWS to Planetscale and yes it handles much larger DBs.
We went as far as we could on GCP before PlanetScale. Spanner is amazing but also amazingly expensive. And CloudSQL, also amazing as long as you don’t need write scaling. PlanetScale (Vitess+MySQL plus their branching / deployment and monitoring tools) is just not a combination offered on GCP. And while I didn’t use Aurora, from talking to and exploring AWS it doesn’t really have this combination either.
It makes me so happy to hear you had a good experience. Thank you for being a customer.
