PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible, serverless database platform powered by Vitess. Get started in seconds and scale indefinitely. You can quickly learn the basics of creating and managing a database; or learn more about the concepts, like database branching, that make this platform unique.

PlanetScale is designed to be as beautiful and consistently easy to use as it is reliable. In other words, get ready for a whole new level of UX, worthy of the most important piece in your application stack.

Macrometa's architecture is a geo distributed event source with a materialized view engine and CRDT based replication. To achieve consistency in replication, Macrometa provides an adaptive model that allows developers to define the consistency level with fine grained granularity to achieve different levels of isolation and consistency depending on their needs.

Macrometa's team of scientists and engineers have incorporated leading edge ideas from distributed systems and concurrent databases that incorporate technologies like Conflict Free Replicated Datatypes (CRDT) to create a new highly secure, high performance, low latency data infrastructure.

Regions

PlanetScale currently offers database deployment in three regions. Select the region closest to your application servers to reduce latency between your database and application. Deploy branches in the region closest to your location to help reduce latency when interacting with the database.

Backups

​PlanetScale provides the ability to create, schedule, and restore backups for production and development database branches. In addition to the daily default backups that PlanetScale schedules for your database branches, you can create additional manual backups. 

Security

PlanetScale is SOC 2 Type II compliant. All data is stored encrypted at rest throughout the PlanetScale platform. This helps mitigate the risk of unintentional or malicious access to user data on storage systems.
