Love love love planetscale.

When I found it (you can thank Theo), shocked this isn't what AWS' serverless DB offering already was.

I agree with what the author mentioned in another comment, not dropping performance for non-serverless use cases is a decided win. I deeply appreciate the work being done to enable serverless applications, so thank you for the work and thank you for sharing your findings OP.

I've barely heard about PlanetScale, but from the looks of it, it looks interesting. However, is it compatible with "normal" MySQL, meaning that I just can change my connection information from `currentMySQLhost` to `planetscaleMySQLhost`, and it just works (after creating the database, tables etc., of course)?

Yup! There are a few caveats, but for the most part it'd be compatible.

That is pretty great, especially with such a generous free plan for testing.

However, no support for FOREIGN KEYs is a bit of a bummer. However, they explain it very well.[0]

Thanks for the reply! Will definitely give PlanetScale a try over the weekend!
