What it is

PlanetScale is a serverless MySQL platform built on Vitess, the tech that scaled YouTube. Its schema branching and non-blocking migrations mean you can change tables on a busy production DB without locking it. Great for MySQL-based Laravel apps at scale.

Why I use it

If a Laravel project is MySQL-first and growing fast, PlanetScale's safe migrations are worth it. For small apps, a plain managed MySQL is cheaper.
