Planetscale is really being pushed on this site lately but all I see is theory and promises of doing things different for vague reasons. I hope I'm wrong or just not understanding something but it feels like a CEO trying to sell a product without understanding the technical reasons why a project like this hasn't existed before. I can't imagine that planetscale is going to solve something that Google, amazon, Facebook, apple, and Netflix all failed to solve for a similar use case and for well documented reasons.
