You can use PlanetScale to host and manage high-performance MySQL and Postgres databases in the cloud. It allows you to horizontally shard your database across multiple nodes using Vitess or Neki to handle millions of queries without downtime. You can create isolated database branches for development, test schema updates safely, and deploy migrations online without locking tables. PlanetScale also provides built-in connection pooling, automated backups, multi-zone high availability failover, and hardware options running on fast NVMe drives to sustain intensive data workloads.
