I honestly believe removing the Hobby plan to be a huge mistake on the long-term, while optimizing for short-term profitability.

Without any inside knowledge, I can only speculate, and who knows, maybe PlanetScale wouldn’t have been able to continue as a business, if they kept serving the Hobby plan

What I am quite certain of though, is that PlanetScale is far from ubiquitous enough to have people take a bet on a service they’ve never tried, without a way to try it risk-free first

It’s a competitive space, and killing your funnel of “Engineers learning technologies as a side-project, and bringing they tech into their day job” seems to me at least to be very shortsighted
